Seems like there's more room for batteries on that baby.

No, you didn't

Sure I did. You're using the pollution of other countries that we can't control to trivialize what we can control. I called it and then you did it.

I estimate i can get about 20miles range with these batteries, although the most i have gone is 10. I don't have much more than 10 miles in me lol. This way it leaves room for groceries...

How many watts is the motor? 1HP= 746 Watts. Are you using Lion batteries? Amp Hour and volts?

Looks like the common 1000w 48v kits from ebay. I bought one to try out. They're certainly worth the $150 or so they sell for, or used to sell for.

This is my new e-trike with 50mile range & 30mph....

There is no way that doesn't get ripped off by some scrapper or maybe a kid looking to make a battle bot or something with it.

You will need to share the ring video!

That’s what I told him. He is crazy. He does live next to a cop, but I don’t think they talk. I can’t believe he is so dumb about this. At least make like a mower doggie door it can go in and out of like on the garage door to keep it hidden . It’s not even hidden behind a bush !

I'm starting to look at electric bikes or a conversion kit for mine, lots of steep hills here, so variable hill assist would be nice. Something economical, Lion powered. I might even build the, or a spare 18650 battery pack myself. I could drive a bike here for about 6 to 8 months of the year, some years more, but many are cold months. I have a pretty good regular bike now, but I might convert it to an e-bike with a kit, will have to check some reviews of kits I guess. I'll also have a look to see what's new out there, I looked a few years ago and prices for batteries have come way down since then.

a bought a cheap set of 4 12v sealed acid motorcycle batteries and wired them together. I had a buddy that does motorcycle repairs come over and help me with the wiring. I think I have less than $100 in the batteries.

Endless Sphere has tons of info and a killer new/used classifieds section. I bought a bunch of used tesla 18650 cells from a fellow there and built up a few packs for some other projects. I had kweld, but there are tons of inexpensive units that work really well.

I bought a $300 Schwinn trike from walmart and put another $300 into the 1000w conversion kit & batteries. Range is all about the size of your battery.
My new trike cost $3000.

A 12s4p Lion pack of 3200mAh, 18650 cells would greatly extend the range of the thing. Dunno if you can buy such a battery and charger kit though, never looked.

I bought the new trike.....but the ol Schwinn is still a nice ride.

 

[Dr.Amber Trichome]

That would be so cool if you all got together and started an electric tricycle gang. You could ride together on the streets with matching t shirts or jackets and helmets and flags .

If you are going to convert a bike with a front wheel kit be sure you add front torque brackets to the forks, these 1000w motors have a nasty habit of twisting loose from the torque.

The Husqvarna grass cutting robots, a friend used to sell, had a very loud siren built-in. Since they cut grass via GPS, if you remove it from the premise, it'll activate the siren. Cool grass cutters.

They would have to put playing cards in the spokes to make sure folks could hear them coming.
