My Ebike

[ngolm]

The total cost for the project was $1131.00. 48 volt 15 ah battery and a 1000 watt rear wheel motor. 32 mile range at 16 mph on mostly flat path. Will go 30 mph in 1000 watt mode or 20 mph in 750 watt mode. The Vilano bike to super $300 off Amazon

I've never seen a silverfish battery on the downtube. I hope the mount is strong enough to hold it. Also watch the wiring in the bag. A common failure is the bullet connectors can get too hot, and melt the insulation.

The Vilano got some nice reviews on amazon. Enjoy and rmember that no one expects a bike to go 30 mph, so watch out for them cars.

Nicely done!

Congratulations on the do it yourself installation. I have apparently the same motor; will be disappointed at a 32 mile range @ 15 mph. I can pedal 32 miles; just the speed varies from 12 with a tailwind to 6 with a stiff headwind.

Congratulations ngolm.

I am going through a similar project with a 48V 1000W conversation kit on my aluminium framed MTB. Still many problems to solve but it is all part of the learning experience.
