New here, first post, first build. I have been reading hard for the past week and I still don’t know where to start! I won’t be ordering anything until July as I am away all of June so at this stage I am still building my list, any help is greatly appreciated.
I want to make a compact but stable, light weight commuter with a good range 25km+
Carbon Deck - http://www.hi5ber.com/raptor - its only 6 inches across the middle, is this going to restrict my battery choice?
Right, i get that. I guess range is more important than weight. So can you help me out with with the battery? Its my understanding that i will need 3 or 4 of those listed in parallel, is that right?
Ok, I think I understand now. So if I wanted more than 8000mah I could connect 4x 5s 8000mah (2 in series and 2 in parralel) giving me 10s2p at 1600mah. Provided it all fits in the space I have.
The other option I am considering is making up my own pack of li ion. But this would mean sourcing someone locally to weld them up etc. Is it worth going down that road. Why is that more popular?
One more question i have is how do dual motors affect battery life? And how does it affect my choice of battery?
