You probably like me, are looking at all the different E.V.'s and seeing what's different on each members project. On mine the bike has 4 front chain wheels, 1 the outer front chain wheel is driven by the cyclone 720W motor, which I decided to mount in my own way as opposed to the conventional lower slung under the frame. The inner 3 front chain wheels are the std bike chain wheels. The trick was to bolt the original 3 chain wheels to the chain wheel supplied with the kit. This made a total of 4 chain wheels this enabled all the bikes original gearing.

12V X3 in series 36Volt 12amp SLA
Charger:

Stretch cruiser limo, sla setup right now, putting LiFePo4 together. Draws over 100 amps on fast start, pulling 4000 watts, levels to a good 1500 to 2000 watt ride at about 27mph for miles and miles. I weigh 400 lbs! Special note on the tires, Specialized control compound 2.2, have capacity for 100 psi with fantastic urban tread! Not pretty, but WOW! What an awsome tire!

I bought a used Voy that had been garaged and in good condition.
I am upgrading it from a 36V 180W system to a 48V 1000W system.
I am also upgrading to LiFePo4 batteries.

Bought a bone stock Schwinn Stingray Spoiler and soon after decided to convert it to electric. Little did I know then what a mess I was getting myself into.
