Hello all, this is my first post to your forum. I've been looking at getting an electric bike for a while and I'm considering buying a 48v 1000/1500w rear hub kit.
My (and probably a few other peoples) problem is price & location of the battery. I don't really like the look of a battery hanging over the back wheel and so would like one to fit within the triangle of the frame.
I'm considering this idea, unless you techy guys can see a problem
42 x 'C' 1.2v 10000mAh Mi-MH rechargeable batteries, wired in series to give 50.4v @ 10Ah which only costs £58.59
The advantage to me is I can build the battery shape to fit the frame and a reasonable price and possibly use a standard 48v battery charger.
Any thoughts?
