Ben's Electric Bike.

[brushlessboy16]

Well Here it is, starting the project off with a 20in Redline Bmx Bike.. All steel frame etc. Its a nice bike to begin with, steel frame and some decent wheels.


To power it I have one of these big ass brushed electric motors that i have laying around- and a 16:1 gear reduction box. Also picked up some 35 chain and sprokets for drive... BrianG- your gearing calculator is a life saver.. have it spec'd out at 22mph on 6s lipo. with low gearing and lots of reduction it should keep amp draw relatively low.

Just a project to get me from point A to point B being as lazy as possible.

Planning on making a steel subframe/ motor mount and weld it to the existing frame.


Pictures will be up later today.
