Now THAT is fast! Is it the lithium batteries that give you so much speed? I have an electric bike with a Wilderness Energy hub motor run on lead acid batteries. I can get up to 24 mph. I have heard that lithium batteries can increase the speed.
Yeah, it's a little too fast.I was doing about 37 mph going up hill. I glanced at the speedo as I went by. I am using lithiums. They are DeWalt batteries that I took apart and reassembled into 24 cells in series for 79.2 volts. It's a crystalyte 5303 motor, the speedy version. Next build will have the 5305, that one is more torquey resulting in less top speed but more off the line punch.
What controller are you using to handle your 79.2 volts?

danieljohnboy,
How much did the conversion cost you? Where did you buy the kit?
