Electrified Downhill bike

Actually, I guess I am not going to use shrink, I was talking to cell_man and he said just use fiber glass tape, and also I am going to use lexan guard sheets all around the pack for protection, like what I recently did to my RC lipo packs

thanks anyways.

It seems to be taking forever for the cells to arrive. It's been 2 weeks now, so I'll give it 3 more days before I get worried, as I shipped it standard service.

Well, after ordering the ebike kit and battery cells 2.5 weeks apart, they arrived here on the same day! Hmmm, goodies. The cells have the A123 Systems logo, part #, bar code, etc. still printed on them, and I guess they are made by Enerland facility, in Korea.

The Nine Continent motors are supposed to be one of the lightest built units available, but looks very solid to me. It would be nice if they could make them lighter, adds quite a bit of mass in the wheel, I'm not sure about rotating mass though, I would guess a 1/3 of the total motor weight.

So no one thinks this stack of 30C A123 15Ah cells looks sexy at all?
