Really neat battery solution - where is it from?

My xxl camber frame just about took a standard hailong 3 case, once the rear shock was inverted. I encased the bafang motor in mudguards from decathlon

48V 14.5 AH from ali express with 750watt motor as a kit, would normally not buy a china battery pack but if I like the ride will swap to a 52v pack with ga cells going to make a ali bash guard

Finished an test ride over:D:D:D:D:D:oops:;) conclusion the 48v 750watt bbs02 is the best for noise and efficiency, in both power and smoothness and overall delivery it peaked at 1100 plus watts:) but pulled 800w plus most of the time and the 48volt held up well but can see the advantage a 52 volt pack would have later into a long ride. on the gps track it was full 2 mins quicker than the zobop on the same route :eek:

It only takes a bit of practise once you do a few builds, you cannot walk past a normal bike without thinking will a motor fit does the battery go in that gap. The best thing was the build only took a day and all worked to out first go
