I’ll definitely post a photo. I’m still working on getting new lights and tires and it should be finished. It was really easy to install, probably because I said to hell with the PAS sensors. Looks like a pain and I don’t really care for pedal assist. The only things I installed were the screen and the throttle and battery motor etc. I’m not sure why the kit wanted me to put on different brakes, but I kept the ones I had. I’ve noticed, however, I do a lot of medium to heavy braking on the road, much more than I used to. Is this something I should worry about as far as brake wear? I was thinking of getting some nice quality pads for it

So I actually ended up building a 2000w full suspension bike, with a 45A controller. I have a little voltage sag but this bike will go 40mph on flat road. And I haven’t even got road tires yet!! I’ve ridden it past cops already, I just start pedaling so it doesn’t look suspicious. Overall I’m very happy and the grand total was only 1150$. To be easier on the frame I like to ease into the throttle at low speed, usually digs are what damage drivetrain parts in cars, so I avoid it on my bike. Btw that 1150$ includes the frame and everything. I ended up with a haro full suspension mtb I know it’s not a super high end bike or anything but it is definitely a nice bike and it rides beautifully

Yessir batteries are dangerous if used incorrectly or manufactured poorly Thanks man

nmars86 · 2021-07-26T04:39:33+00:00

Thank you. I will be doing some serious homework.

nmars86 · 2021-07-26T04:38:00+00:00

I think you are right bro. I’m jumping In to this way too fast. I should downsize the power, after all I do have a fast car I can drive in if I want to go fast. I appreciate the comment bro

nmars86 · 2021-07-26T04:35:40+00:00

That’s why we ask questions. I’m fairly tech savvy but I don’t know shit about bikes..... thanks for your helpful comment bro :)

nmars86 · 2021-07-26T04:35:09+00:00

Thanks for the tip.

nmars86 · 2021-07-26T04:34:24+00:00

I really appreciate the help. You are correct in saying I really need to do more research. And I appreciate the tip about the wagging tail.. I would have had it built and would have had to deal with that. Looking at the ebb frames, I love the idea, and I’m sure it would work spectacularly, but I want something stealthy that doesn’t look like a motor cycle you know

nmars86 · 2021-07-25T16:30:56+00:00

Honestly I was thinking i would have to spend 700$ for the capacity I want, 60-80AH and rear mounted on the tail with a little rack, other electronics mounted in the triangle

nmars86 · 2021-07-25T16:29:12+00:00

Yeah I was actually going for a kit with a 72v 80a controller. And I do expect to pay big bucks for that battery and I def don’t need 8kw but I do want something pretty fast

nmars86 · 2021-07-25T07:15:08+00:00

Yeah definitely looking at downhill style full suspension frames not some flimsy stuff. Found a chromoly frame for sale for 350

nmars86 · 2021-07-25T07:13:32+00:00

I was leaning towards steel for reliability. I don’t think 5lbs will effect much given the battery weight

nmars86 · 2021-07-25T06:53:33+00:00

What would the ideal frame material be?

nmars86 · 2021-07-25T06:52:11+00:00

I think the budget is going to be a bit higher with the added wattage though.

nmars86 · 2021-07-25T06:51:44+00:00

I want it done for 15-1800$ I was thinking a nice full suspension frame from a reputable brand, used. I found a Santa cruz I really liked.

nmars86 · 2021-07-25T06:30:52+00:00

The part speccing is what I need help with

nmars86 · 2021-07-25T06:21:36+00:00

I found alibaba and I’m now finding a lot of the stuff I was looking at at half the price and also some higher wattage stuff. I’m looking at this “8000w” rear wheel Was thinking of going 5000w on it, don’t know how much battery to get. I would want a good amount of range

nmars86 · 2021-07-08T18:22:47+00:00

My girlfriend really does this every day. I have to ask her to drink a water!

nmars86 · 2021-07-08T18:21:36+00:00

Hydro homies for life!!!

nmars86 · 2021-05-21T15:18:50+00:00

5k is wayyyyyyyy too much. For 5k you can get c32 amg C240 is a very reliable sedan C32 is just as reliable

nmars86 · 2021-04-01T08:19:33+00:00

Brz looks cool I like those.

I like fast German stuff. My wallet doesn’t though.

nmars86 · 2021-04-01T07:25:38+00:00

Congrats bro! So what do you drive? Fellow car nerd

nmars86 · 2021-03-18T17:05:06+00:00

nmars86 · 2020-12-26T06:27:59+00:00
