Electric Bike Conversion – Part 4
Filed under electric bicyclesOct 4
http://www.behot.com.au Read description first! 
After testing the original motor, it proved to be too low in torque at low RPMs, meaning unless I gear it down a lot it will be pretty useless in power.Instead, after much thinking of Ideas, I looked around for a more suitable motor. There were some perfect for the job, but the cost upwards of $300.
I then decided to spend a little extra and buy an electric conversion kit. I found one online for $395.00 (Australian) which Included:
– 500W/36v Rear hub motor, wheel & tyre
– 500W Re-Gen Braking controller
– Throttle control
– Battery gauge
– Re-gen brakes
– 36v Battery charger
– All needed wiringNo batteries included, so I bought:
– 3 x 12v SLA batteries $90.00Main installation took about 3 hours, and then another hour for minor changes (such as a kill switch) etc. later.
Next video I will give a test run of the bike in action. It will take off without pedalling, it will even go up hills un-assisted! Here are some basic stats:
Top speed: 36km/h (22.5mph) no pedalling
Range: 20km no pedalling
Power: 500W / 36vDuration : 0:1:46

http://www.behot.com.au Third addition to my converting of my mountain bike to an electric assist bike. Motor is now mounted, and the chain is in place and functioning. Next video will see the motor spinning the wheel, although it will have no throttle at this stage, simply a direct connection to a 12v car battery!Duration : 0:2:38
