I have an ebike I converted 2 years ago with a Nine-Continent wheel motor ran by an Infineon controller that can handle 100V peak, and 45amp current; all powered by a 16s 15Ah prismatic cell A123 battery pack I built myself with a charging BMS built in. I get between 35 and 40km (25miles) range @ top speed, with a high end of ~55+kph (34mph). The bike is a 2008 GT Bikes Avalanche 2.0. I custom made a bolt in torque arm to the the drop out brake mount, and disc brakes front and rear, with a 180mm disc on back, for clearance reasons.

The thing I love about the bike the most is the battery, FANTASTIC, same top speed from freshly charged, to almost dead; worry free charging with a 3Amp/58 volt charger and BMS; and so far has treated me well with almost 3000km traveled on it.

Let me know if you want pics.
