And a picture of it all together...

Hello all, I'm the guy who did the first high voltage 72V A2B Metro a hundred years ago. I haven't posted for a while but I'm here again to sell my Kranked/EGO mid drive setup. I bought the ~2012 Santa Cruz Nomad 2 with the conversion already done and rode it for a few years. When it finally...

John, I use an iCharger 3010B which does balance charge up to 10S. There's a picture of it on the first post. I don't balance charge that often. When I do, they are pretty close. That might not always be the case though. I got lucky with these packs. Jim

37mph GPS verified :evil:

I fixed my centerstand for good with a 1/2" Allen bolt, washers, lock nut and locktite. I drilled and tapped the A2B frame for the bolt thread 1/2"-20 if I remember right. I first tightened the allen bolt through the centerstand into the frame with locktite and then put a washer and nut on it...

This spring I put two 10S RC Lipo stick packs inside my A2B Metro's down tube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l09qAkCI08E I also put two sticks on top of the frame for 72V and a very centered mass. The bike goes 37mph (GPS verified) and handles great though I try not to park in front of any...

I have a hopped up 38 mph 72V A2B Metro and the fat Kenda tires that come stock are the reason for poor handling (after you replace the rear shock). As soon as I switched to Pirelli ML75 moped tires the handling improved immensely (tire size 2.5 x 16") . I would buy these moped tires and cut up...

I think I might start a project to build a sheet metal battery box that hangs under the down tube and secured with rivnuts. It would hold the two batteries that are now on top of the tube on my bike. I would move the controller to the space where the rear battery case slides in. That way I could...

Wake at ebikestore sold it to me: http://ebikestore.com/

So I uploaded some more pictures for your viewing pleasure. These are the batteries I am using. I spent $520ish on the four and got lucky that they are well matched and stay in balance. That's my size 8 foot there for scale: Here are a few shots of the batteries mounted inside the rear case...

It has been shown by Ypedal that 48V on the stock in-motor controller does indeed work.

Once the bateries are slid up into the down tube there is no room for anything significant. It would be good enough for smuggling baggies of stuff if you were into that. :P Of course, riding a 38 mph quasi scooter on city streets without registration might make you a target for the local...

Altonk, I can offer to lend (and send) you my rear battery case. You could stuff 17 pounds of rocks in it to give you an idea on how the bike will handle with four batteries in it. You might find you don't like it bottoming out. I know you have a longer 6.5" shock back there but it would be a...

The bike is two-hander at any speed. It works fine at full speed but you need bigger/better brakes than stock. Taking weight off of the rear end enhanced all aspects of handling. The back end still gets a little choppy going fast around bumpy corners. There's just so much weight in the back...
