Thanks for the comments.. Here are a few photos of my setup. The manual I have for the conversion kit is weak on specs. but it looks exactly like this one I saw online. I paid for a 1000 watt motor and controller and I have to admit, it had great acceleration and speed the few times I rode it.
Here are what I believe the specs are:
Features:
- 45 - 48 KM/H top speed
- Provides you with a whole wheel with tire, not just the tire frame Takes less than hour to install
- The kit includes motorized wheel, motor controller, speed throttle, power break lever, wire harness
- Quiet and reliable brushless gearless hub motor
- Motor specifications: 48v / 1000w / 470rpm
- High motor efficiency: >80%
- Motor diameter: 245mm
- Drive system has no moving chains or gears, no friction, more efficient, less chance to break!
- Brake shuts off motor automatically, saves energy, improves safety!
- Thumb throttle with 3 LEDs indicator lights
- Battery charger for charging lead-acid battery
- Durable 600D Oxford cloth carrying bag along with a zippered main compartment for battery
Package Includes:
- Powerful 1000W 48V brushless hub motor
- 26" front wheel (the whole wheel with tire!)
- Battery charger
- 2 brake pullers
- Electric controller
- Thumb gear changer with battery power indicator
- Battery power indicator
- 2ea. handlebar grips
- Rubber connecting harness (color will pick at random)
- Battery not included
- Special: Comes with upgraded battery carrying bag and end bracket for FREE
Battery Recommendation:
1. Electrokinetic cell battery ( Li, lead-acid, NiMH battery etc.) featured in nominal voltage 48v, nominal capacity not less than 17Ah is compatible with the motor.
2. Please note that the Battery Charger in the package is for lead-acid only and it will damage the battery if you use other types of battery
Hope this helps. It's looking more and more like I have to shell out for a LiPo or LiFePO4.
Thanks again..
