You don't have to forget about adding a BMS (Battery Management System) to the battery pack, to preserve the battery life (you'll find enough informations on the Internet about why BMS are important). | You don't have to forget about adding a BMS (Battery Management System) to the battery pack, to preserve the battery life (you'll find enough informations on the Internet about why BMS are important). | ||

On this early first version, I've adapted a brushed DC motor of 2kW to the wheel with 3D printing parts. But that was not a good idea. The motor was quite cheap, and that was difficult to put the chain in the right place. | On this early first version, I've adapted a brushed DC motor of 2kW to the wheel with 3D printing parts.

+ | ===== Results and tests ===== | ||
+ | As I've said, the brushed DC motor wasn't a good idea and burned out quite quickly. | ||
+ | |||
+ | After the installation of the brushless wheel, the results are very good. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The max speed I was able to reach is about 62-63 km/h on flat roads. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The range is about 200km with pedal assist set to 1 (minimal consumption, you need to pedal but without sweating you can reach 25-27 km/h. | ||
+ | |||
+ | If you go without pedal assist (just with throttle, like a bike and going beetween 55-60 km/h, the range is reduced to about 60km (1 hour in fact). | ||
+ | |||
+ | So, very good project, the global cost was about 700€, without the bike I already had. | ||
