Hello,
I'm planning to build a light gravel e-bike (target : below 14kg with battery), in the same spirit than the Orbea Gain.
I'm looking for some advices :
- which model of Q100 is the most indicated ? I'm looking for a max continuous power of 250W, and the lightest/smallest motor. I'm thinking about the Q100 CST.
- Is it possible to use it safely on the long term in 48V or even 52V (it is branded for 36V) ?
- what are the alternatives to the Q100 ? I'm thinking also about the Bafang G370, or the Aikeman P250.01
- what are the best and smallest controllers for the Q100 (or the alternative motors) ?
- I would like to use a torque sensor on the bottom bracket (like this one : https://www.bafang-e.com/en/components/component/sensor/sr-pa3132st.html), do you think it's a good idea ? Or a simple PAS will do the job ?
- I'm looking for a small device for controlling the power, with no screen (like on the Orbea Gain, just a button with different color lights to indicate the assistance level). What off-the-shelf models could do the job ?
- my battery should be a 2P/13S or 2P/14S.
Thanks in advance for your help !
