The other day someone offered to give his mountain bike away. I held off a couple of days and no one took it, so I said I'd like to have it to try an electric bike ghetto set up.
So here we are, step 1, I got this bike today. I say bike......BSO......gift horse and all that.
Now this thing is for playing around in the park and just dicking around in general, it's not for road use as I have my pride and joy for that. So we totally disregard this 250w nonsense, 1000w is available so no point going for less I think, per wheel I might add, so firstly I'll get it rigged up with something, then see where this goes.
I have about 12 6s 5ah lipos, so I plan to use them in a 48v system, I'm guessing 8 of them are fit to use in this, 4 are a bit tired. So that's 20ah at 48v.
I'm probably going to end up with something along these lines

Anyway, enough for tonight, bedtime, tomorrow I'll give the bike a look over and check my batteries.
In the meantime feel free to share any knowledge for advice you have.
PS. Anyone considered you could fit 2 1000w wheel driven systems and another 1000w on the BB, y'know, just for shoots n giggles.
