Re: 66 volt bobber
Wow. Nice work. Is that just extra space behind the DeWalts? Or can you stick two more on there?
I really like that blue chain. Where did you get it?

Re: 66 volt bobber
Yes, very nice.
Room for more batteries!
I assume the controller was not mounted during the picture.
How does it ride?
Re: 66 volt bobber
Thankyou. Yes, there is extra space for two more batts. when I get the money. I would ultimately like to have 8 packs (10s4p)in series with each other. As for the blue chain, I work at a bike shop and I needed a long chain so I grab two cheapos off the shelf. They match the blue grips nicely.KMC makes the chain I'm sure your local bike shop can get them.
Re: 66 volt bobber
Oh yes, the controller mounts on the aluminum angle plate on the bottom.
I'ts in for repairs. It rides great as long as you're going in a
straight line. :)
Re: 66 volt bobber
Steve,
Great job,
Question how do you monitor the Dewalt Batteries from going too low?
Can you give some instruction on how to hookup the batteries.
Thank you
James.
Re: 66 volt bobber
I need to get a Cycle Analyst, or something like it. For now I'm just winging it.
I used Anderson power pole conectors with Deans noodle wire solder directly to
pos. and neg. bypass the DeWalt bms. during discharge but going thru the bms for charging.
I just pull the batts. off the bike and pop them into the DeWalt charger.
Hope this answers your questions. If you have any more let me know
Thanks
Dan
Re: 66 volt bobber
I know it's a custom but what would you call this look of frame? When I ask them about a bobber style frame, they don't really know what I'm talking about So I was wondering if there was a different name for them or where I could get one.
