I'll start off by saying sorry for the lengthy post. I haven't built an e-bike in a few years so I'd like some opinions from some more experienced members before I start with my new build.
My budget is $2k-$3k usd
I will be using the cyclone 3000w mid drive motor for this build.
For the battery I was thinking of getting 12 18.5v ZIPPY Flightmax 8000mAh 5S1P 30C XT90 batteries and wiring them in series/parallel for 74v 24ah pack. Ultimately I would like to install a bms and have a 1 charger solution for the pack but I'm not entirely sure about where to start with that.
My questions:
Does anyone see an issue with the battery choice I picked? Better solutions maybe?
It it possible to have a 1 charger solution for faster charging with this setup?
Any recommendations for a bms?
Aside from bike upgrades to support a powerful motor, does anyone know of anything I will need additionally? Below I will update my to buy list with what I believe is everything I will need.
Buy list:
Bike & upgrades (not sure yet)
Cyclone motor/controller
Chain & chain breaker & master link
Batteries & XT90 connectors & pigtails
Bluetooth Bms (need opinions/advice)
Charger (need opinions/advice)
Batt man e-bike amp hour fuel gauge
Battery bag or similar
Good set of tires and tubes
Phone charger & mount
Already own:
Solder & iron
Shrink tubing
Wire strippers
Tools etc.
Last but not least; should I just save myself the trouble and spend more money to get one of these? https://lunacycle.com/sur-ron/ with the pedal option (only problem I see with this is it doesn't look very legal)
