and like I said in a earlier, post... if the terrain a person is riding, is almost all flat land, then they can get away with a lower A/H battery. Comprehension is a beautiful thing. You bring your ebike with its 11 AH battery to my area , and I GUARANTEE you wont get 35 miles distance out of...

No , I didn't buy the cheapest battery I could find in that size....There are other elements to a battery like continuous discharge , max discharge , composition, etc. If people wish to peddle, all the time, like you do, then of course they will get more distance out of a 11A/H battery...but...

Now...for a person that weighs 135 lbs, like Court...he may be able to go 30+ miles distance on a 11 AH battery...especially if its driving in a area like florida, on flat surfaces.

Heres the facts . I bought a NEW. 22a/h - lifepo4 battery , 48 volt with BMS installed for $420 shipped to my house. This can handle 30 amps continuous and 60 amp bursts. 20 mph may be federal law, on STREETS.,...but many of us will ride on trails, beaches , sides of the road, etc...so we...

You made a comment above, about " wheels made in china ..." as far as I know, most bikes, are made in china...even my $1000 gravity fatbike, with bluto front suspension. Have you seen the machines used in chinese bike factories, that actually spoke the rims mechanically ? They seem to do a...

FWIW...I also built my wifes ebike....and it is a generic mongoose dolomite fatbike which cost me $179 shipped/ new. I then bought a new yescomusa 1000 watt motor { like is on my gravity ebike} and am using the stock yescomusa controller that comes with it , the same lifepo4 -48 volt battery /...

My battery and controller and even the generic 1000 watt yescomusa, seems to handle 40 amps , constant, with no real issues. My battery supposedly is rated for 40 amps constant and 60 amp surge. Once I get in the 50 amp- 50 volt ranges { 2500 watts} , I make a conscious effort to not push...

FWIW....I have pushed my generic 1oo0 watt hub motor , to 2500 watts { 50 volts- 50 amps} on several occasions, and the motor has held up fine.

as far as safety issues are concerned, 1 of the most important issues is of course the dropout strength and its ability to handle the torque of the hub motor. but that's why we strengthen the dropouts on our own...I build my own torque arms for that sole purpose

I think if there was a lot of issues/ breakages involving ebike frames, and consumers getting hurt , we would hear a lot more about it in the news, and there would be a ton of class action lawsuits. IMHO, many big box bikes can be used for ebike conversions that will achieve 25- 30 mph..and...

My setup is using a gravity bullseye monster pro fatbike { $1000 new} , a generic 1000 watt- 48 volt YESOMCUSA brushless direct drive rear hub motor { $200} and a aftermarket LYEN programmable controller- 12 FET - $129 { it can be programmed up to 70 volts , but my current setting is around 60...

agreed.....and I think in the near future, many of these ebike manufacturers will start producing ebikes with battery capacitys in that range. IMHO..when it comes to battery capacity, its always better to have more then you need, because it allows the rider to do their drives around town, and...

I think the radrover could have a much larger market, if they offered it in 3 different frame sizes, and a 20 A/H battery upgrade option. ..even if it meant raising the price from $1499 to $1699.

Yes...its close... 11 A/H battery is a bit low in capacity IMHO....and im not sure if they make the radrover in 3 different frame sizes. looks like it only comes in 1 frame size...only 11 a/h battery...and limited to top speed of 20 mph.. so its still quite a bit away from my vision...
