i have also seen slofly.com electric bike build from r.c parts.
just wondering how easy it would be to adjust a twist type throttle,+using a large r.c heli motor with a sprocket,running it thru the bicycles gears...any one have info or links to where i could learn from.
i currently own a 36v 30amp 400watt electric hub(front drive)i have been very happy with it,except for the weight,its heavy.+when it comes to big hills(you know)..

so i was at my local r.c shop the other day & noticed this motor about half the size of a coke can,light as a feather+ could produce more than 4500watt.i thought this would be perfect for a cyclone type set up.the motor was brushless,selling at $150aus...
but the only thing stopping me from building it is the throttle issue...
the guy said finding a twist type throttle or making one could be a bit tricky..

does anyone know how to adjuct a thist type throttle so it runs conpatibly with r.c parts..

once again thanks on the battery advice...
