Mad excited for more media on this bike. You've done a fantastic job and cut no corners and like an earlier poster said: "you'll get years of fun" for your work on this.
#1 The long road
- Thread starter Emoto
- Start date
Markw sorry not much movement on this atm still injured but will resume asap, in the meantime ive had plenty of time to contemplate my next build and am looking at using the big hit frame i started this thread with, its sitting there with a fresh paint job just begging to be built....
So its going to be a mid drive, with a 15 KW
4.5kg motor,ill prob use 24" or 17'' mc rim if i get it right it will be madness. but got to finish this baby first

Back to getting some progress, been racking by brains jiggiling things around for a while for a slick mounting solution for my regen button and the controller on /off switch thought about making custom brackets ect,
But simplicity always wins, two cable tyes worked for regen button and a simple cutout in a headset spacer worked and no fabricating
, some times getting the little things right is very satisfying.

Phase / halls / temp connectors done, used some heatshrink / tyes over the connectors to resist vibration unpluging, should be splash resistant also, cable lengths are good and no straining through suspension travel.
Only got a shortlist of jobs left now and am starting to dream about riding.

Yeah pete as long as i dont drop / flip it, that will be finepucksterpete said:
Yes Luis a few monts ago to make sure all was good , it had no crankset on batts only taped in and only in my drive way, it was pulling long power wheeliessoaresdacosta said:
only on 50 battery amps,i think the light ali frame [6.5 kg ] is rewarding me there , its going to be hard to control myself on first real test drive.
Side panel fits well, tried to find the holy grail of seats [ comfy and nice looking / hard to find ] settled on this one.
So after all the work there is no other way to say it people, this first build of mine is finished
Now for the first test ride 8) on 50 amps batt , and of course will take some pics , hopefully i can do it justice

RIDE IT!!!! 
Here is my charging system connected [ parallel ] i have a pl8v2 i like i can balance charge up to 30 amps and while a good charger it has way two many nag screens 
i also have a bc 168 as a spare. I had a small kff incident with the balance wires, [didnt thing i would ever do that... 
lesson learned ] i now have reconfigured my balance wires so there more easy replaceable than the permanent mounted solution i have in the pic.

A few pics from my first ride @ 50 amps batt, very happy as all things are working as hoped so all the hours designing and measuring / fabricating / painting..... have paid off weighed the bike and complete is 40 kg . , suspension is PLUSH , had to brake hard a few times, brakes are very good. and definitely Worth the cash if it saves the bike and you.

Obviously your a man of good tasteRix said:
Thanks.Smooth as butter pete but the ratio i have chosen is for just getting back to base if i have a prob or run out of batt power, im on 7kw now and everything is running perfect after 15 30k rides, im just riding and charging...pucksterpete said:

That's a really nice build.
Do you have any more updates?

Hi jateureka
Only updates are stainless bolts for the carbon side panel, cos ive been riding at the beach .... my pals have named it the bat bike, note the sticker.
Done 800 ks now on 7kw , and will prob get a savboton controller later, but not just yet as im enjoying the fruits of my labor.
