LI-ghtcycle
10 MW
Ok, I'm at a cross-roads here, I just rode up the monster hill in Oregon City earlier today (even in the 85 - 90 DEG weather!) on my "new to me" Bianchi road bike and I will have to do it again to confirm that the GPS was re-set and not just showing an old average speed, but when I got home, I had virtually the same average speed as my E-Bike!
If this is confirmed, I will be getting myself the lightest most efficiant motor I can get, and see about hooking it up to my Bianchi with the most energy dense LiPo I can afford and see if I can keep the motor & battery down to 10 - 15 lbs.
Anyone done this? Or am I dreaming? :lol:
On the flip side, I will see how much voltage I can push to get some more pep out of my current hub motor, if not, I will go all out on a big DD motor, maybe a XLight 5304 and have one bike for when I'm feeling energetic and one for when I'm not.
SO .... if anyone has built a super light efficient road bike, please post your info here thanks! 8)
