Taking part in a neighborhood electric ride build off/booze cruise. Everyone's budget is set at 350$ to spend on building, buying, or sprucing up an electric booze cruiser some type. To be judged on: speed, battery life (distance), comfort, and crowd favorite.
i tried searching the forum but cant find much on a 600 or direct links to ideas of motors/stuff
I have been given an old s600 for free. Allegedly it ran last summer.
Stock battery's are bad, motor seems to be currie 600w chain drive motor. Battery slot is 14"x7"x 3.5". Could go deeper if need be. appears drop out is 130mm. Maybe can i could bend the metal apart a little? or get a new swing arm welded if need be?
I'm 300lb, shooting for a solid 5 mile range. And whatever balance I can get for acceleration and top speed for my size would be great. Flat concrete use only.
Maybe switch to a hub drive if there is one that will pull me?
Anyone have any ideas for lithium or other new tech battery's/ controller and perhaps a new motor?
Stay with 36v? Go to 48v or 60v?
Any advice is more than welcome!
