Hello, This busbar design is beautiful. Would you be able to share the process and materials used to create those plates? I'm particularly interested in how the copper bar was attached to the (nickel?) plate. I have experience with resistance welding copper and it was a nightmare. Thanks in...

They gave me a quote of 508USD + extra charges for a single AM controller. I was pretty shocked because I don’t really have that in my budget. Can’t decide what to do as of now.

What do you mean?

Interesting, I will check that out. That reality is dawning on me. I'm going to be forced to go bigger I'm going to be designing the frame from scratch and welding everything up. I'll make sure to run FEA to ensure the motor does not introduce too much torque where it is mounted All of your...

I'm also looking at moped/motorcycle wheels, as well as the mxus motor. I need to figure out how to choose between the leafbike 1500w and the mxus 3000w, as well as find a suitable controller.

Yeah you're definitely right, I've set the bar pretty high. I'm gonna keep researching and see what I can do. I'll probably sacrifice top speed in favor of more torque. I've got a lot to learn and I'm hoping I can have a full design drawn up in CAD by the middle of May.

I love the form factor. Thanks for the tip

Thank you SO much for this help! I am amazed that you were kind enough to walk me through this stuff. I am busy researching parts right now and I'll be back soon with a much better idea of what I'm doing after I break down all of the advice you and the others have given me.

I messaged back and offered to pay extra for the trouble, I’ll see what they have to say. I would be in for a group buy!

I reached out to them and they told me they do not sell to individuals “yet”. Did any of you get a different answer?

I want it to scare me, but I want to try to keep this bike lightweight. I want to have a hard time keeping the front wheel on the ground at launch, how about that? good point. I did some lab tests with my racing team while working on cooling strategies for 18650 cells by embedding them in a...

I have a pretty good idea of how I want this bike to look, and I'm not so sure how I feel about the casted wheel. I was going to look into lacing the spokes into the hub with a wheel that I find somewhere else. What do you think about that? Why do you favor the casted wheel? When you posted...

Just subscribed to your youtube! Thank you. Yes, your leafbike is very close to the form and performance I am after. I like this controller in the 48v 120A configuration, what do you think? I saw that you're a fan of the 18 FET https://kellyev.com/shop/kls-s/ Does this look like a good choice...

Hello everyone, I am looking for advice for a build. I've wanted to build a powerful electric bike for years and I am finally getting around to it.I've researched for a few days now and I thought I would reach out with some questions I'm stuck on. I basically want a low profile bike with as...
