Got my 406 & 72v20a controller kit in from ebikes canada with fairly quick shipping. The new bike is built upon a older specialized hard rock frame with an xtracycle bolt on frame conversion. The bike went together quick and no fabrication was needed with 135mm dropouts. I loaded on X6 12v12ah (54lbs) batteries to hold me off until I upgrade next year. The enclosure you see under the deck holds the 72v controller and amplifier for the mono system (music).
Wow, this thing is fast compared to my WE BD36, even with a passenger on the back I can hit 32mph. At first I was having problems with the controller over heating while carrying a passenger up long hills so I mounted X2 40mm computer fans to the heatsink on the controller and it seems to fix the problem. Handling is pretty decent with the longer wheel base while sitting on the rear deck. Sitting normal there is more weight on the front tire as the frame conversion shifts the driver weight forward.
Lots of smiles. Thank you everyone for your help.
