How long a time do you want your rides to last before the batteries need recharged ?
Long Long as long as technologically possible. I'm definitely not going lower than a 96v pack now. That will give me the most battery options to choose from. "C" discharge rating will not as so critical if I'm rolling with 96v to start with.

I have room for batteries like no bike ever has had room before. LOL

I used an A123m1 pack to handle the surges and 18650 low C pack to recharge the A123m1 pack during stops and going downhill so that the A123m1 pack is charged up ready for the next power surge.

A smaller A123m1 pack in parallel with a 18650 Samsung cell pack.

That is how you can get huge power surges and long distance with a lightweight battery setup.

This works for me because I stop and go a lot. :)

I will use whatever works but now I will surely go no lower than 96v. YES a whole lot of stop and go and hills and more hills in Los Angeles just like San Fransisco but more spread out over a larger area.

So build a small A123m1 pack that will power the bike if just for a few miles then use quality light weight 18650 cell extender packs for charging the A123m1 pack on the go.

Unless you are running pedal to the metal all the time. :)

A123m1 cells are almost supercaps and last a long time. :)

My bike can hold safely hold 60 to 100 lbs of lithium batteries of one type or another. I needs at least 4kWh worth. LOL

My bike will be a minimum of 220 lbs so pedaling it will have to be extremely limited to say the least.

Where did you get that bike??? I never seen nothing like it before. Man, that's a whole lot of power. And I mean a whole lot. You might want to hire an electrician so you don't blow up your house.

I welded it together from a bunch of steel tubes.



Whole lot of power? That's a good thing right? LOL

I'll be working my way up to the 60 pouches. Starting with only 24 initially so I can get a feel for these batteries. Then I'll will make the leap to warp speed with 36 more. LOL

All mirrors, side reflectors, brake-light, headlight and turn signal lights will be complied with, to the DMV letter of the law. To keep the cops beyond arms length at all times. LMAO



I could still be pulled over for riding a bicycle on the freeway though.

250cc Front scooter brake arrived today, and its calipers are massive with massive brake pads by bicycle brake standards. It just might work, once I get the thing mounted. LOL
