I plan on converting a 197X Honda CB 125 into an eMoto for my first build because I want to get more hands on experience with electronics to improve my understanding. I have owned a few Japanese bikes from the 70s but am looking forward to snagging one for an eMoto build.
Being in the US it seems a foolproof system is just to buy a kit from Electro & Co but it sounds like there are a lot of software issues with the Votol EM controllers so I'm not sure if that is still the best idea. My plan here was to get their QS138 70H V3 motor, with a EM260sp controller, and an undetermined battery but roughly 72V 40ah and 280A+.
I originally wanted to build my own battery pack but after watching and reading many build posts I think I should save that for later after I become more familiar with all of this. The Electro & Co kit has the option to add a 76V 40ah 300A battery but this seems slightly non-standard? Seems like nominal voltage is usually 72V then 96V and I didn't want to run into any issues with charger incompatibility. Is there a good source in the US for batteries in the range I am looking? Amazon has a lot but that just seems like it could be hit or miss on quality.
