Looks good! Very clean!

Just like we talked about, looks good.

Thanks guys. My wife was laughing at my creation when she saw it before "Da Fleece" covering. She said: "Why does it have all the holes in there?"

Did you tell her, you can't judge a work of art before it's finished.

No Effing way!!!!

huh....are you talking about the 63KPH?

J57ltr · 05.31.2011, 08:28 PM

Lol, ya I ignored the one above and could only see the speed and the 0 below and the mph. That makes more sense. I was thinking that the tires would probably be floating 1" off the rim at that speed.

I've been riding around at 22mph average to see how much efficiency I can eek out. Today with zero pedaling I only used 1200mah for my commute to work. I had some small burst of speed here and there to get away from cars.
I installed a Cycle Analysis recently. It's a pretty fancy datalogger that plugs directly into my speed controller and reads out the voltage, speed, amp, watts, watt/h, etc. You can even hook it up to your pc with mods, which I don't think will do. But I can set the amp limit and voltage cutoff with a few presses of two buttons. Cool stuff.

All I got to say is your new mods are Un Freaking beliveable!!!!! 35 mph is crazy fast and it was still going! Acceleration is just wow!

The new motor and controller are so much better. The motor I just got from Canada. It's a GoldenMotor sensored 56 pole motor. Motor wires are 14 awg and I soldered up 4mm bullet connectors. The controller is build by Lyen in San Francisco. Their other motors available on the market, but I like how thin this motor is compared to the others. Makes for easy installations on many bikes. The wheel is nicely trued and balanced. Acceleration is a lot greater then the previous Yescomusa motor. I added a heat sinks on the controller. Now it doesn't shut off anymore in the crazy Texas heat.

And with the gas money I saved so far, I bought me a new bike for the weekends to run at Memorial park and Cypresswood trails.

You need those brakes on the Electric bike lol. It's stupid fast! I can't say how impressed I am with it.

BTW that computer is the BoMb!!

I'll upgrade the front brakes once I have some money for a new fork and hydraulic brakes. Or I can send back my ESC for an upgrade to enable regenerative braking, which can be engaged by a switch.

I'm glad you are happy with the All in One.

That hub is huge. Can you share a little bit more details/specs for the new hub and controller? Are you now running 87volts? Holy crap batman. So what kind of speeds are you running with this setup? What battery setup are you using? Is it just a bunch of R/C Lipo's or have you put together a quality pack just for this rig? The new bike looks like a nice ride for another E-conversion.

snellemin · 06.24.2011, 11:08 AM

The motor is from Goldenmotor.ca. You can check out the manufacturer site at goldenmotor.com. The motor has 56 poles, 63 slots and is running on 22s lipo, which consist of Acepow hardcase lipos. Once these batteries go, I will switch over to Meanwell cells or A123's.

Speed was 39mph avg this morning. Power consumption was 2900mah with a strong headwind. Motor was cool to the touch vs my older motor. I recommend this motor if you want torque and speed.
