Finding my (electric) wheels

I have converted a full-suspension Kona Bike with a Motor from China 1500W. I built the wheel with strengthened spokes and rim. For controller and LCD I went to Greenlance from which I bought my 48V 20AH battery with Samsung Lithium-ion Cells 21700.


The controller is universal for 48V - 72V but I use it for 48V system and I am quite happy. Recently added a protection cover from Greenlance shop and found a survey on their website. It gave me £10 voucher and I spent it on the electric tyre pump from them. I have trouble with the tyres. Now ordered 2.3Continentals and bigger inner tube I hope to fix it but its always a good idea to have a pump with you, so why not electric?

I will add the link if anyone needs an accessory or just £10 voucher: https://s.surveyplanet.com/h2em6xt3

So that's me but I am wondering how is everybody else with the brakes on their bikes and what e-bikes you have?

I got shimano SLX and they are decent with the stopping on a heavy bike. It is about 30 KG

So you built a moped then.
