I am a little worried about your range.. My 666wh pack get me 15-25mi, and you have a 185wh pack.. I'd guesstimate you'll only get about 4mi (6km) when riding hard and probably 7mi (11km) when taking it easy and pedaling..

I've ordered another 2* 5S LiPo's at HC a few weeks ago. This package is at the customs right now and I've got some serious trouble with them I think, so it could take some time till I get those. I'll wire them as 10S2P ofcourse. So I got a 370Wh pack instead of a 185Wh pack. I'm very curious about how the range will be, if I get 12km I would be very happy

I bet you'll get 12km easy with four 5s packs. That motor on 10s lipo should sip a lot less power than my overvolted hub motor.. My motor is rated for 1000w and I am running 4.7kw.

BTW yesterday I made a video. You can use it as motivation.

12km would be very nice!

Hehehe! That vid is awesome! And that bike is damn fast too! 42MPH (Mine will be geared for 35MPH, but hopefully a LOT of wheelies lol)

I wanna see that Giant Turnigy in action.

[ZippyBasher]

Nice! I want to see this motor in action too... I got a dirt skateboard with a busted motor mount waiting for one of these.

@ Metallover, that's one fast bike .. sjee

@ Byte, we'll have to make a sweet vid of that e-bike monster of you. We can also use it to film our RC's, you know you filming and e-biking and than RC's come flying by!!

Thats crazy. No way I would have the balls to go that fast on two skinny wheels like that and no leathers for protection. Maybe I gotten a bit soft in the old age. Anyway I really liked the bit when you were traveling up the hill at around 40mph and pedaling, pretending that you were doing the work. Funny as all heck. Burnout on the grass was pretty cool too.

Update...


I painted the bike last week. As I already posted before: black, green and pink ghehe












It should look like this if the first 2 parts are mounted to each other:




I think most people will find these colors gay and stupid, but as this is a BIRTHDAY E-Bike it suits well imo

Looks great except where you sneezed on it ? JK

Certainly looks a bit different, I like it for originality. I'm sure once it's built/assembled the colors will tame down a bit.

Hehe

I will try to assemble the bike next week and measure some things. I forgot to add the drawing I made in SketchUp for the motormount a few weeks ago. I didn't draw the sprockets, but there will be a 14T sprocket on the motor, 72T on the 1/2" shaft and the 16T ENO freewheel will be mounted on the other side of the shaft. These parts will be CNC'ed as I'm too lazy to make them myself like I did on my LST 1.5

I won't lie...
I actually am digging the abstract theme.
I've always had a thing for abstract stuff, wallpapers, paintjobs, etc.

Good job!

And shame on you for using Windows Live Messenger!

You should definitely check out Deviantart if you don't already know it, they got LOTS LOTS LOTS of photo, wallpaper etc. stuff.

Lol! You guys in America use AIM, aren't you? Well, over here in the Netherlands 99% of the people don't even know what AIM is hehe... Windows Live Messenger works fine for me


I'm going to bed now, it's 2:13AM and I'm very tired... Goodnight! :)

thats quite a project I couldnt believe even Best Buy is trying to get in on the action selling 1300 to 2500 dollar ebikes on the floor next to TVs

[rawfuls]

Whoa, Best Buy is now selling ebikes?
Hehe, this should be pretty funny!

And yup! Most of us "fat" Americans use AIM :D

And yes, DeviantArt...
Love it!

Got my CC ICE HV 160 and Astro Flight servo tester in a few minutes ago. I will solder some 8mm bullets on it tonight and also the 2200uF 63V caps. The ESC is way smaller than I thought it would be.



I also got 16 meters(!) of white braided sleeving and 5 meters of white heatshrink. I'm still waiting on the Magura throttle I bought 2 weeks ago...
