electric bicycle - 05.31.2009, 10:23 PM

okay guys.... ive been doin some thinkin and i have this crazy idea to "electrify" my bicycle. wat im planning on doin is using the e-revo transmission with the castle 2200 motor and MMM esc. im planning on buying a 6mm pinion to attach to the output on the e-revo transmission. the pinion will make contact with my bicycle tire and will spin it. the drive ratio of the e-revo transmission is 1.83333 rotations of the spur to 1 rotation of the outdrive. and im goin to factor in the pinion/spur ratio and adjust to attain my speed. i am also planning on buying a back pedal bearing so i eliminate brake shoes and the lever. i also have few questions. do you think the 2200 motor will be able to move a 15lb bike and 120lb. person at about 20mph? will the amps be too much. im also wondering if i can lightly press the brakes while riding to utilize the regeberative braking? im also seraching for a device that connects to the MMM wire instead of an rx that can control the speed.
just an idea.... so suggestions are welcome
