So starting another E build. My new philosophy is in order to build a new bike a previous build must be parted out. The aluminum framed full suspension Pie powered Diamond Back will be sacrificed for parts/room in the garage.
Am wanting the lightest build I can afford. Found an older Trek carbon frame at a good price. Its a soft tail(semi suspension). May remove the shock and replace with a carbon strut to save weight. Will be running Hookworms which ride better than a bike with suspension over most surfaces(at least on the Schwinn step thru, it rides better than the Diamond Back).
Will be(carefully) running a 36v 350w geared motor in the rear with a single speed. Will start at 48v with the idea of maybe ending up at 67v(4) 4s lipos) and a 72v controller I have. Don't know about the painfully small phase wires though. The controller is limited to 20amps. That would be 1340w from the 350w motor. That's 84v of cells in the tray in the pic(1680w!)Love the ability to easily change voltage. At current(pun) prices the 5 packs cost under $100.
Anyway heres the beginnings.
