Got my batteries today, so tomorrow will be the test. Most that I can fit is 22s2p.
I also added a heatsink with fan on the controller for when it gets hotter. Gonna add a temp sensor to see how much the temp drops and than figure where to add intake and exhaust holes.
I added the horn and got a lights going of the new switch. Fan, lights and horn are run off 4s1p 18650 batteries.
I managed to squeezed 24s2p inside the frame and I love it. A coworker was willing to try to build me a adjustable throttle delay to prevent me tripping the controller under acceleration. Gonna have to wait till he has some time to actually do it. I'm also looking for a small 12V laptop psu that I can hook up to my batteries to run my accessories.
Thats not even a bike anymore, you're just trying to side step traffic laws by having pedals on it. You built an electric motorcycle. I sure want it! Coolness
hahhahaha. It's capable of high speeds, but I don't commute with those high speeds. I only use full power at intersections, other then that I'm chillin at around 25-27mph and cops haven't bothered me at all. I'm betting it would be different if I was zooming at max speed.
I bought a used 6 speed Regina extra freewheel and goes from 12-17T. The chain doesn't rub on the frame anymore, as it did with the 11T 7speed freewheel.
I upped the battery Amp to 65 and the Phase Amps to 140. Bike takes off smooth in my 2nd 57% speed now. 100% still cuts out if I hammer the throttle. Drilled a big hole into the controller case and added a fan. Still need to drill out two holes for fresh air to come in and add two fans. Waiting on some fan grills to come in.
I like the idea of some ventalation to keep things cooler, but this will surely create issues if riding in wet conditions, yes? Have enjoyed your progress with this setup from where you started to where you are now with it.
I don't ride in the rain or wet conditions. I did get sprinkled on by bad weather a few times, but wasn't soaking wet.
Today I did a 21 mile ride with mix road conditions. I used my lowest speed setting of 35% and 1 short burst of 57% speed setting. That whole trip only took me 3Ah. So I could easily get 60 mile range out of my 10Ah pack. Average speed is 18-19mph and easily to pedal with my new 12T freewheel.
Got to love HV setups for efficiency.
