As the title implies I built this with “left over”/ Sale parts as a low speed, light weight cruiser that I can let friends ride without having to tell them not to pull the trigger all the way…
Battery is a single 4s 10000mah multistar pack, it was really cheap on sale.
with enough power to get hopefully 8 miles…
The mount is hybrid, printed clamp (PETG) single part and a spare motor plate (tb v2).
The motor I got off here, it said 200kv, but got 12-14mph on kegels so i think its more of a 270kv? its an old diy 5065 @torqueboards is that a wye termination?
final drive will be 16/36t on 97mm flywheel clones for a topspeed of 13-15mph. ego type speed. 6s should get to 17-19mph…
not bad for < $350 total.
will need to update the mount with a thicker printed version or go aluminum.
oh yeah looked it up and was looking at the wrong ESC. How reliable is this ESC, looking to put a 5Ah 6s battery and 245kv SK3 6364 motor with this ESC.
I got all of those parts, however I can’t tell you yet, as I am still waiting for my mechanical stuff and my remote. The only thing I can tell you is that there is nothing pre soldered to the esc and the fan is quite noisy when in use.
i’m spoiled from riding my big build with a vesc and 12s,
the braking noise on this esc is horrible! so it sits in a box…it does pull really nice. and brakes work but are a bit sudden even with the led programming card
but after enough riding 20mph really does feel normal…25+ in LA traffic gets scary again
mostly I like the torque 12s has for up hill at 20. and on flat you can get to the speed you want to be at almost instantly.
