Nice conversion man. Looks like your could still install a rear disk brake though. Or is there zero space left?

Yup, a 203mm rotor would be possible. I might buy 2 * 203mm rotors in the future, but will first try only one break.


@A RC Dude: It's so much fun to convert a bicycle to electric! This is my second one and I really love it. What you're doing is even more interesting IMO; building your own speed controller. Awesome! Years ago BrianG once posted a self-made brushed controller on this forum. It's something I still want to do in the future. Good luck with your bike!

haha thanks, once you learn how, a brushed ESC is actually really easy, it's just getting all your ratings and resistor values correct and putting it into a neat package lol

I really wish making a brushless ESC was easier lol that would truly be awesome! But my friend and I actually had the ESC working on some 12v gear motors on a robot chassis but we haven't been able to scale it up far enough yet to run the big clunky motor on the bike yet.

Byte my dutch friend, this bike looks quite fantastic! I LOVE the battey/controller box, looks like a stealth ebike. NICE work.
