I've wanted to do this for a year or so, and finally got around to it on my newest build.
All activated by a single keyswitch!
3 cell logs, 2 temp sensors (one for motor and one for controller), and on back lit clock. The two button pcb beneath the clock is to set the clock.
Box was made from balsa wood.
Had to use a pcb board from radio shack because the pins on the 12v relays looked a little bot flimsy.
Bottom is plastic sheeting from online metals.com
I'm a little worried about water proofing here. The hole isn't small enough to be sealed by the tube. Need to figure something out.
The top is to be made from clear plastic from lowes.
Already a rats nest and only half the battery pack is installed
Here is a huge tip which I wish I could follow, but make the wiring harnesses last so you won't have extra wiring to deal with!
I swear though there is like 1000ft of wiring on this bike. It makes me really realize how complex the wiring must be in automobiles. I had a temp job at a place that specilized in making harnesses for military aircraft. And that was it. They had hundreds of people on the floor meticulously assembling the harnesses on giant boards with the proper layout pre-printed on paper tacked to the boards. Wow, blows my mind. You could wire a residential block with the wiring in one plane.
Ebikes are easy. Ebikes with lights, chargers, and electronics are a whole 'nother ball game
