I built my 1st modern ebike in 2017, Its a FS (Full Suspension) eMTB with 200mm (8") travel.
I started in Jan and had my 1st powered ride on the 2nd week of May 2017.
I actually started my research in October 2016 to familiarize myself with the whole process of a build from scratch. The battery was the longest and most indepth research I had to learn, the bike itself was nothing more than tightening a bunch of bolts on prebuilt hardware, I only had to decide what quality and level of hardware I wanted.......
What a learning curve, from the type of motor I used to building a 52V battery with 84 NCA18650GA TESLA cells.
I'm running a 1500W LUNA BBSHD mid drive on my bike.
I have throttle and PA, max speed is throttled down to 50kph on the flat.
I do DH and trail riding, or urban attack depending on the tires I have on the bike. For me, there are trail/dirt tires and street/pavement tires, I don't believe in 'All Seasons' tires.
I'M LOOKING FOR OTHER eMTB RIDERS FOR SOME FUN, HEART POUNDING RIDES THU THE CITY PARKWAYS AND URBAN ATTACK ...... (CHASE DOWN SOME PEDESTRIANS?).
