motorbikers electric Dyno-Glide cruiser

The electric kit is on the way ! I am going to mount the batteries in the middle as low as possible and make a nice looking cover. Plenty of room there.

I'm not selling this one ! This one is mine that I have been saving.

How many batteries do you have to have for it?

36v . 3 x 12.

The batteries spoil the style on the electric bikes I have seen. I want to hide them.

I also want them to be low for better balance.

I really like the Dewalt 36v batteries.

DEWALT DC9360 : 36V Battery Pack with NANO™ Technology

I know batteries almost always look like batteries no matter what you do to them. One thing I would like on mine would be a way to just pull the battery pack and lift it off the bike for charging. That way the charger can be anywhere not just near a spot the bike can be stored.

I guess the DeWalt batteries would be good for that. They are a hot item on eBay. Pricey ! They would be real easy to take out and recharge !

I want a dozen of them !

Since i don't work I would use mine for exercise but if I worked i would have two sets of batteries and two chargers one for the office and one for home.

How many milliamp hours are those?

Remember- number of cells = power, size of cells (mah)= "fuel capacity".

I don't know how far those will get you.

2.2Ah .

I think this guy just brings more charged ones along.

YouTube - Ultimate hybrid electric bicycle

the best I can figure the way to determine range is .... battery ah divided by amp draw of the engine = time (engine will run) mph x time= range. more or less.

motor size is usually in watts ie 250 watt motor engine watt = amp x volts ie 250 watts is 24 volts 10 amp draw...

a 250 watt 24 volt motor will draw ten amps of power from a battery... A ten amp hour batter will last 1 hr. If your bike goes 20mph.. your range is approx 20 miles...

except a lot of things enter into it like how much you run at full throttle. bike will get less mph with more weight so lots and lots of variables.

This fella says 4 batteries took him 22 miles. That's peddling too I guess.
