Have been following the forum for about a year now, and made my first build about 8 months ago, so it's time to show what I have.
I might detail everything I did for a Newbies perspective, Especially the HEADWAY POWER TUBES, as I think it's a pretty easy and solid build that anyone can do.
I wanted it to be very simple, cheap and maintainable, No Welding, Mostly crimping minimal soldering.
I am from Perth(Fremantle) in Western Australia, meaning I say Colour, not Color
Lastly, big thanks to SpinningMagnets and Dogman especially for help and posts, amongst many others
and
It is awesome, I am blown away by how good it is....the grin
I use this as my main commuter as I don't have a car and go travelling overseas a lot.
Its' fast, I think due to the 700c wheels, any faster and I don't think the hybrid frame would hold.
I only use it on the road, it plenty fast enough, and goes up basically any hill without pedaling, motor never gets hot!
It rides just as easy as a normal bike, only heavier, I usually always pedal some as i like the speed.
Only real problem I notice is cars don't expect you to be keeping up with them, even if there is a bike lane, and they drift into you...not that I blame them, but get some surprised looks
48V 16s 1P Headway 10AH cells from EV Works (Perth W.A.)
Rear Mac 8T 500/1000W (upgraded with temp sensor) geared motor from cell_man
Wheel Type: 700C Alex DH19 Disc
Controller 12 FET 40A IFRB3077 from cell_man
16S LiFePO4 Type BMS with 40A from cell_man
8sp DNP 11T Freewheel from cell_man
CA-V3 from cell_man
Top speed on flat about 55km/hr (35mph) up to 60km/hr with pedaling
Range about 25-30km with minimal riding
- Max Amps pulled about 36-38A from CA-v3
- Low Volt Cutoff 44V set in CA-v3
- Average W/Hr, from about 250 - 380 from CA-v3
- Use about 6 - 9 Ahr usually between charges
and too many wires (I don't know how everyone else makes there's look so clean)
My favourite part is the Headway Battery Packs hereby known as HEADWAY POWER TUBES.
But I will also add the battery pack details to the thread Show Us Your Homemade Battery Housing http://endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=12847&start=325
