Welp, I've taken a long hiatus from here, but I've found my passion for ebikes again (translation: the divorce is over 
).
I'm picking back up on this project because it has a few issues that I sort of left with temporary patches.
So now I'm starting with finishing the design for the battery box. I am going from the hand-cut cardboard toward laser-cut. Cad model shots below:
Cell arrangement isn't permanent yet... I'm working with what voltage/current specs I want. 132 cell capacity as it sits now (18650s). I'm probably going to tweak the design further to accommodate a base-runner controller at some point. I never liked the controller hanging out there behind the seat post.
Anyway, I'm back in the game and excited!

- Left it with a hailong battery for a long time, not finishing the wood battery box I had planned
- Never made a chain-guard for it
- Welded the rack and generally cleaned it up, but never finished the wood deck or powder coated the metal (or nickel plate?)
- Whitewall tire in the rear has the wall separating from the tread... wobbles when I ride.
- Headlight is cheap and the bracket is breaking
- Controller never permanently mounted or wiring cleanly managed
- Two-legged kickstand is less than ideal, out of balance, falls over
