This thread is old but I am going to bring it back from the dead. I ended up buying the Luna 750 bafang with their 20ah 52 volt battery. Got a good bike from the bike shop and managed to hit my goal of 35mph or so and able to climb any hill and tons of range. It was a blast in the woods and reminded me of trail riding on quads.
However, I had the bike for 1 week before some guy crossed double yellows, made an illegal turn and plowed into me while I was crossing a crosswalk. I almost died, had internal bleeding, broke my leg, arm, collapse lungs, broken ribs , shoulder, shoulder blade collar bone and had to get an organ removed and some issue with my liver. I am not sure what it was but I spent like 6 months with constant test because my levels were really bad. It was almost a compound fracture and to add insult to injury I had broken this leg twice before and have tons of hardware on this leg. Doctors had to do a lot of work to fix it and it was pretty scary waking up in the hospital with scaffolding sticking out of my leg. Multiple surgeries, rehab, learning how to walk, all that jazz. My head went right through the windshield but I bought a professional full face DH bike helmet days before this accident.
Its been a long road but I am trying to get back to my old self and not be afraid of all the stuff that made me happy.
So I am rebuilding the bike. The bafang motor was destroyed but the battery survived, it was about 80 percent charged when I got hit and its been sitting in a closet for like 4 years. It is a Luna 52v 20ah Samsung 25R battery and it appears to charge fine.
Is it safe to still use this battery?
I am thinking of pairing it with a BBSHD, possibly on a fat bike. This time I will not be using it on the road, its just to dangerous these days. I will stay in the trails because I don't want to go through this again. This was the second time I had to learn how to walk again and the 3rd time breaking bones.
