Yeah I think that's the best option for now, and btw thanks for all the info you been giving me. If i change the motor or modify the frame of an existing moped, do I need to get it relicensed?

Yeah you're right, I looked up the EMS testing and it is indeed required. So now I've a bit of a dillema what to do, because I wanna build a nice looking moped, but there is no point doing so if I can't ride it.

What a coincidence a fellow dutchie! I was talking about a normal test at RDW, but I found if I convert a existing moped, or anything else which is enlisted at the RDW, it way cheaper(around 150eu). So that's the best option for me, I think.

That's more than doable, but I searched for my country the estimated amount is 1500 euros. So that is a lot, but then it's licensed as a E-scooter so maybe if I do it as an E-bike that is cheaper

I went for a different controller, because I've read on some threads on ES that was better. But I don't know if a programmable controller makes a use difference. I didn't know that was that expensive to do, is there any way to make that less expensive, for example using a donor bike/moped and...

Ahh I got you! Than I think 48v is enough for me because I live in a small village with no stopping signs and nothing remotely close to hills. So I think I will go for a 48v battery with a higher discharge rate, because I want some torque.

I get what you mean and obvousily I don't want to burn my house down, but I can't find any good site where they sell 72v batteries with around 80 continous amps. But do I need to run my system at 72v? If no is the difference between 72v and 48v a lot, if you talk power?

Thanks for the info. Only the batteries at ping batteries are out of my budget? I would like to spend no more than 500 dollars for a battery

I don't want to use a hub motor, because I like te way a mid drive looks. I'm still looking for a good cell type, currently my preference goes out to lipo4 cells. My controller draws 80amps and my motor 45 amps continous so I'm looking for a battery pack which has max 80 amps continous.

Okay thanks!! I think I know everything I wanted to know now!

Thanks man! You told me much stuff I didn't know. Do you know a good site where they sell reliable batteries and deliver in Europe?

Thanks e-beach for your elborate explaination. I indeed have read about some different kind of cella like 18650 or lipo4 and the C-rate. Is it true that 18650 cells are better for this kind of use, because of there higher C-rate? I also read somewhere that the amps of your BMS should be rated...

Thanks guys voor the fast responds, So I need a battery thats at least 45 Amps continous. And do you guys think 3kw is enough?

Hi guys, Due to an overflood of free time, I wanted to start a new project to keep me busy. I've choosen for an E-bike/E-motorcycle which will have a cafe racer style. I'm a newbie to EV's so I need some help. I don't want to put a huge amount of money because it's just for fun and learning...
