Hi over the years I've owned a couple of ebikes - I worked 25 miles away from home so started with a BBS02 Cube hardtail, the drive failed so built another one and that went too. So I decided to scrap the kid drive idea and bought a cheap DD hub and fitted that..then bought a EEB clone frame and built a full suspension bike. It weighed a tonne - the frame along must have been in excess of 30kg. Last year I changed jobs and my commute was much shorter but carried on using the heavy bike until I got knocked off it, which bent the (steel) frame and shorted the wiring, killing the motor at the same time. Since then I use my car but I'm getting bored of that so decided to put together a new bike.
It's a Kona Stinky with a cheap eBay DD motor, it has a Sunwin 60v controller running 18S multistars, and pulls in excess of 50amps at times. This controller has lasted me ages and is absolutely faultless - it's done so many thousand miles.
It's so much lighter than the steel Chinese framed bike - I can remember now what drew me to ebikes in the first place!
