I have an old Trek 6000 frame in the garage, I've shot blasted and powder coated it, and I've build to back up with bits off a mid range muddyfox I bought but I'm ditching all the heavy stuff. It now has rigid forks kojak tyres fixed wheel and I'll use front brake with motor cut off only. If its lightweight I won't need gears (well we'll see how it goes). Lots of ideas very little knowledge!

Cheers guys, I will continue then and get some bits ordered. I am hopefully sourcing my Tongxin here on the Forum but it may not have its controller so looking at this... KBS48051,20A,24-48V, Mini Brushless DC Controller here have limited electrical knowledge but think this is the correct one? Can't find any Lyen Controllers out there http://www.camelbak.com/Sports-Recreation/Bottles/~/media/CamelBak/Sports%20Recreation/Bottles/Images/Better%20Bottle%2075L/White/75bottle_black-300.ashx?mh=575&mw=441 Then as mentioned before a custom install into a SS water bottle or this kind of thing above made of Tritan super stong poly plastics type stuff.

I have been looking into a battery for my custom build, although to be honest at this stage I'm all ideas but little practical experience trying to learn fast ref electric and the like. Is it possible to use two of these batteries in series Turnigy nano-tech 4000mah 5S 25~50C Lipo Pack here Spec: Capacity: 4000mAh Voltage: 5S1P / 5 Cell / 18.5V Discharge: 25C Constant / 50C Burst Weight: 525g (including wire, plug & case) Dimensions: 161x49x33mm Balance Plug: JST-XH Discharge Plug: 4mm bullet-connector I want to use on a lightweight assisted pedaling conversion using Tongxin. I'll put the batteries in an SS bottle. Will post project progress once underway. Many thanks

Thanks for the reply, do you have a price for the hub? Might get some spokes from you and lace it up myself. PM if you'd prefer. Cheers

This may of been covered but can't really find a definitive answer. I want to purchase a Tongxin hub and or kit for a new project but finding it really difficult. I know the Electric Wheel Company do a complete kit from the UK but thought I might be able to get one from China or the US save on the cash. If anyone can shed some light I would be most grateful. Looking for a hub or kit minus battery.

Cheers guys, for the quick concise response. Seem there are a few options out there that may fit. Has anyone used the on/off switch instead of a throttle or seen one for sale? Thanks

Hi There, I am looking for a kit with the following rough spec - it's my first one. I want to build a bike with a brushless hub barfang I think, 250W ish. Then I am looking for lightweight components like a battery bottle and small controller. Ideally I would like to just have an on/off switch and thats it so do I even need a controller. Cytronex do the sort of thing I am after but in bike form. I have a low budget under £500. If anyone can give me any tips or point me in the right direction I would be most grateful.

I've been looking around for ages at the Electric bike scene and looking for an excuse to build a little project bike. With a short commute and being fairly fit and healthy I've not been able to justify the expense. That said, now's the time, I want to build a simple lightweight brushless hub based ebike not sure where to start as the kit I want doesn't seem to be available?
