I ordered a 48v800w controller and throttle from vpower. The battery wont fit in the center of the frame and the controller wont fit in the tank so scratch plan a.

$700 and some old parts

Here it is with the controller and everything is working now. Still a few loose ends to wrap up but 99% done.

Only took me 7 months

The bike came out clean and looks like you can ride it for miles. What size battery did you get for it?

 

[kevyleven007]

48v20ah. The on off switch already quit working so I had to bypass it. I try to take it easy on the throttle now I'm not sure if this battery can handle it. I think this controller pulls around 30 amps at max.

My 48v 20ah LifePo4 battery doesn't have an on/off switch either. I just plug in my battery and go. I use to have it on my full suspension bike that I converted back to a gasser. Now I use it on my beach cruiser. I strap it down on my rear rack and its been my long distance bike for those 60+ mile rides.

Very impressive. I like where you located your controller. Overall a very professional looking build.

Thanks. Yeah it was too big to hide the controller in the tank but at least I can hide the extra wires and connectors in there. I strapped it on with cable ties.

I ended up going back to my original plan and using the bent seat post. I like it more every time I ride it. Looks pretty cool too
