All the parts! I too am building my ebike from scratch!

@Nate I don’t have the time to do it today. But I’ll take 10 mins tomorrow to write this down. All the parts I have choosed. But can you tell me what you plan to do ? I can definitely help regarding what parts you should use for your specific config. Share a few pics if you don’t mind !

It’s like Christmas everyday, got the new mirrors today !

Recieved the new headlight ! It looks so sleek and it’s very powerful , I tested it last night my garden was like daytime !

I have messed around as well with my other electric moped , the first prototype , trained myself on the set up for the blinkers so I do everything quickly and as sleek as possible on the next one 15385739825358710251915474385369

I have added a rear rack with removable battery so it’s easier to carry the battery the current design was a wooden box LOL 15385740340933683950549292886652

Next week end I will start the welding work : I will weld the two 22 mm steel tubes , during the week I’ll do a precise laser cut of the side panels , then weld them on the frame ! Once all the welding is done and the metal finitions made I will take all the parts to a blast sanding place and have everything epoxy painted by professional I wan’t perfect paint.

When it comes back I have to do the fiber glass work to fill all the gaps and apply the veneer on the panels

Then it will be the funniest part, install all the electronics ! Hope to have finished the project by early November !

Wow what a coincidence. I’ve just think about converting my M11 on electric today and I’ve directly find your page. Have you had good results?

No results yet because I started recently, but the results should be there ! I’ll update the thread with further advancement

UPDATE :

Almost finished all the metal work ! It was a long work and I had to basically learn everything while doing it. To say the least I am very satisfied with the outcome.

The floor , the roof and both side panels ! IMG_20181205_161530

I am happy because the outcome is exactly what I wanted, I still have a lot of finishing work to do but it won’t be difficult. I have now recieved all the parts I need except a few little cosmetic things

The reservoir will be the house of my 80A sabvoton controller. IMG_20181205_161659 IMG_20181205_161715 IMG_20181205_161711 IMG_20181205_161719

And here is the drivetrain , 3000w 12kv motor ( according to my maths so it’s worth what it’s worth ) I should have according to my calculations the motor has a KV of 12 with a max RPM at 72 V of 864. for 50 V I calculated an RPM of 605

I don’t know if I can base myself on this. Any help to have the realistic speed I’ll get in the end , depending on the voltage. So I finally know if I will go 20S or 14S !
