New Build

[Tomslemans67]

I am looking to build a e-bike, just not sure what the best choices would be, Rear hub or Mid drive, I want something to move me along around 35 to 45 mph, What wattage of Motor and Battery will I need. Looking for some suggestions,

Thanks Tom

Tom,

I have a speedrid e-bike I bought through Amazon from China that is rated at 48v 20amp battery, 1500 watt rear hub motor and will get up to 37mph static with wheel elevated PAS 5. I haven’t ridden it yet except for test ride around my community (20 mph only) . Not sure if it will do 37mph on the road but sure it would fly if I increased the battery to 72 volts. I have added a 2nd 48v 17.5 amp battery and dual battery balancer. Now that is a 48v 37.5 amp battery supply. I am looking for distance (amps) and not so much speed (volts). That comes to 1800 watts using a 1500 watt motor. Florida e-bike law allows for 750 watts max for motor and 28 mph speed. I plan on riding within the 28mph but probably more like 20mph. Just watch your volts and amps. Dave

37 unloaded is likely to equate to about 33 with a rider.
