Hey everyone!
First off, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Michael Danger Gonzalez and I am a first year student at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo studying Mechanical Engineering.
I would like to build my own electric bike.
While I do not have experience in electric bikes specifically, i do have experience with BLDC motors from rc cars. I know the basics of wiring and plan on building my own chromoly frame. I have lots of experience with MIG and TIG welding steel so that part should be easy.
Now i have done a fair amount of research and lurking around here and have come to the conclusion that I would like to build a high powered full suspension mountain bike.
I envision a cross between a mountain bike and a dirtbike.
Okay so onto the details
From lurking i found that either a Crystalyte 5403 or a Greyborg Cromotor is my motor of choice.
I can get the 5403 already laced in 26' wheel with a 72v 40a contoller, thumb throttle and cycle analyst v3 from http://ebikes.ca/store/store_nc.php for $995.
I am leaning towards this option because it is tried and true while i found that generally builds with cromotors are more involved with brake and sprocket mounting.
Is it a hassle to get the cromotor inside a 150mm dropout with normal 203mm disk brakes and a single speed sprocket?
If i go the cromotor way, which controller should i get?
I'd also like to point out that i got my inspiration from the stelath bomber, the electric moto blade, the zero mx, and the motoped dx.
Wheelbase will be around 55in with a 65degree headtube angle and dual crown air boxxer forks and a fox dhx air 9,75x3.0 rear shock
most likely running duro razorbacks 26x2.8 and avid hydraulic brakes
