Ok If you dont remeber me .. I was the guy that butchered a Wilderness Energy BD-36 and a 409 Brushed Clyte Motor. One dued a hot smokey horruble death. The other was ressurected twice from thermal meltdowns before i ran a normal setup and then sold the bike cause papa had some bills to pay. Im now back. Not with alternative transportation in mind but for a conservative build to ride two or three times a week for 20-30 miles for exercise or a day trip to a remote park and see the sights. Here is what I have in mind for my new setup.
I plan to do another Full Suspension Bike. Or Front Suspension because their forks tend to be beefier. Trying to stay away from pinched tube Wally World specials. I will probably use Craigslist to find a donor bike so i can spend more on my batteries.
I will be using a Bafang motor. I read great things about them on the forum but havent decided If Im going to do the steel gear mod. My setup wont be that extreme.
My contruller will be one of the Infenion. Im looking for one that is 36-72v capeable with 25A limit. This should be a simple and easy request from him. He has many to match my needs. I chose it because alot of planning and trial and error went into making those controllers for the bafang and puma motor. Its tried and true and looking forward to posting another good review for that fine craftsmanship.
Im want to run a 60-72v setup because I want flexibility. Im a big guy. I want two packs. I havent decided if i wanted to do a 36-24v modular setup or 36v-36v. If i go with the 36-24 setup I will have money to get a 15AH setup if i got 36v-36v I will be limited to 10AH.But on the 36v-36v setup I can run a series parallel setup with the circuit i built to change on the fly for speed and torque or distance. I want a setup like this because I really dont require that much assistance but i want to have the flexibility for changing terrain.
If I decide to do the 36v-24v Setup i will probably purchase a Watts up meter... they are good up to 68v. If i do a 36v-36v setup. I have no choice but to use the cycle analyst.
Im looking into getting Lifepo4 batts. That can do 20-25A contiuous but have a decent peak value because some controllers are hardheaded and tend to spike beyond their rated value. I so do not want to deal with a bms tripping over some BS like that. If anyone knows a reputable vendor let me know. Im scouring ebay but their ductape batts are supposed rated for what i need and the price is right. I figure if they can handle 20-30 A alone then in a parallel setup they could handle a little bit more but Im counting on the controller to limit me to 20-25A. So if anyone can agree with a 1.5C dischar on a 15AH pack is safe i will purchase a set but if not it may blow my battery budget but i dont mind being a guiena pig.
I havent decided if i wanted to do a solely front wheel setup or do a 26 front an 24 bafang rear to get that extra bit of torque and consume a little less power. How do you think it would work out?
Those are my thoughts for now. Money is in hand. Ive been out of the game a while and looking for input before final purchase and bids are in place.
