The motor kit should be here in less than a week. It might be the end of the month or January though before I ride it as need brand new Headway batteries to run it.
I wont be running 50 pounds of LTO for that e bike. I need a battery pack less than half the weight or around 25 pounds maximum.
See reverse polarity in battery technology.
I still plan on building a 24V ebike with two 500W - 24V motors so I can run 12S - LTO. The reason is I will be running a 10S in series with one of my 6S LTOs for 40V. Since I can only run one of the 6S packs with the 10S my 10S pack will see twice the cycles than the two 6S packs over time.
If I run both 6S packs with a 24V controller then the cycles will be about even over time as wont be running the 10S pack all the time. I can switch back and forth from 40V to 30V. and switch to the other 6S pack every other time.
The reason is the weight. 40V = about 33 pounds and 30V around 22 pounds. It just makes sense. I do not mind riding with 50 pounds of batteries once in awhile but not all the time. I like to have lighter e bikes to ride most of the time.
50 pounds of LTO can do 20 miles. 33 pounds about 15 miles and 22 pounds up to 10 miles. It just makes sense. A 16S - 2P Headway pack will do at least 20 miles and weigh around 23 pounds. Perfect for the 2 kilowatt hub kit on my lightweight Giant Roam.
Thanks.
