nice! pretty quick eh?
going to up the voltage now? I used to run 20s then i went to 18s then down to 15s, and I'm happy. Its good middle ground between the basic 48v and 72v+
The HVC on the stock yescom controllers prevent me from playing around with higher voltages at the moment. It would really add some pepper to the bike with 20s instead of 15s... so yeah it's on my radar. I think the order of modifications from here out look like this:
Replace F and R rims to accept 2.35 and larger tires (oh god why... anticipating nightmares with this... respoking, truing, dishing, etc. it's some very high level dark arts I know this to be true)
Disc Brakes (possibly just switching the whole kit to a different bike)
Schwalbe Crazy Bobs or a comparable wide tire that would be suitable for dirt as well as road
9 FET 72V Infineon Brushless Controller Lyen (should be okay, right?)
Replace power delivery wires to the motor with 10awg wire
2x more 5s Turnigy ...
Harness modification for both charging and for the controller
Cycle Analyst
Drill out vent holes...
... and the list goes on I'm sure
But... I don't know. I look at that list and while I know the result would ultimately be a pretty fast bike that bafang kits wouldn't compete with (assumption: i haven't done much reading on the subject of high power mid drive setups yet) I kind of wanna just throw my hands into the air and get a bafang 750w kit and overvolt it. I feel like the experience of not having the weight in the rear hub outweighs the power potential for me. Not sure on any of this, I have all winter to hash this out with you guys!
