Hi
I recently got hold of this bike almost for free and I´ve been plannig to convert it to electric simply because I love the trapezium shaped frame. It rides very confortable and smooth. I think It will look pretty cool
It uses 22" wheels (57cm) wich seems to be a problem.... because I Cannot find any covertion kit that has a hub motor in those wheel dimentions!
Does anyone know if they even make those? Or will I have to fit myself a hub motor in my 22" wheel? ;( I can only find 20", 24", 26", 28"....
(UPDATE: The wheels are actually 26")
I want to use a 48v 1000W rear hub motor (geared with disk brake, digital panel, wrist throttel all that).
The frame will hold 84 Panasonic PF cells. I thought about a 14S 6P configuration and maybe under charge it to 54-57V to make them last longer. Can a normal 1000W controller take up to 58V? Any thoughts on this?
Hope I´ll be able to build this before the cold days arrive ahaha.
Any help is apreciated! Thanks
