I'm seeking a high performance utilitarian (and ideally secure) ebike.
I had a 48v (52v charge) 40amp ebike. It's an circa 2006 trek with front suspension and cable/rib brakes. It has a cycle analyst, nice continent standard hub motor, and a gen 2 grinfineon infineon 40a controller.
My sister dumped the bike and left it running ruining my battery (100 cycles and i got $250 towards a new one...). I wish the cells were replaceable/diagnosable - this appears to exclude higher end batteries which are necessary for my commute.
I think I want to replace the battery with a similar one - a 3emev triangular pack (any advice on 32e vs 30q?). From NH, so I have a 18 mile hilly commute and my old 13ah cell barely made it to work and back - i'm looking to upgrade a bit. Additionally the hills really took a toll on the nice-continent motor (burning after an 8 second touch after an average hill).
Eventually I want to replace my bike with a fatbike or maybe a lively full suspension bike (ideally a trek fuel with hookworm tires). I commute on a busy road so the faster the better (30mph-50mph vs the 20mph-30mph of the 9c). It would also be great to be able to have more pedal assist (poor with 9c motor). Considering a (big block) lightening rod kit.
I don't like the idea of a tail mounted pack after using an in frame pack. A backpack pack wouldn't be bad. Eventually I want something that can handle the woods and wet/cold/salty weather better. Do you guys think another triangular pack is a smart move or is their something better (for offroads, waterproofing, etc)?
Advice on a new battery?
Any advice on what to get component wise after a new battery. (say 2017)
Any recommendations for a higher quality throttle - using a low quality plastic twist throttle/break combo that came with my kit.
Finally, If anyone has suggestions on how I might combine/eliminate my downhill/freeride (banshee wildcard), commuter (trek 4300), and trail bikes (an ironhorse yakuza) i would.
Thanks!
