I need some advice as a starting point to configure my new MTB, I am going to describe them in order of importance the most important characteristics that I want this setup to have.
-Make a system as safe as possible to avoid motor failures and accidents caused by this.
-Autonomy +30km, even thinking about mounting the batteries so that i can exchange a discharged pack for a new one that will carry in a backpack eventually.
-Make the board as light as possible, here comes into play I think which board to use, transmission system, batteries type, lipo or 18650.
-It will be 70% offroad and 30% onroad.
-Budget of approximately € 1500.
-I’m not a speed enthusiast, rather I like to enjoy good torque.
It would help me a lot if you could give me some tips to start setting a budget.
I set up my first MTB about 5 years ago and I have forgotten some things and I see there is a wide range of new products on the market that I am not aware of.
Finally, I apologize if my text is difficult to read, I am using google translator.
One of the things about which more info I have forgotten is this, the battery configuration, 12s4p is the standard right? I think that in my previous build I had this configuration with 8,000mAh batteries and had an autonomy of about 25km, I would like to go a little higher this time. Maybe less, with the idea of carrying 2 battery packs, one installed and the other in a backpack. I don’t know if this is the best idea or stupid
I like the idea of remote batteries in backpacks and there’s a lot of things you could add to it easy that way. But I would avoid the backpack, to many added variables with it.
Standard? I didn’t know that was a thing in esk8😂. It’s all up to your style of riding. I personally like 10s setups. 10s8p 18650/21700 and I’m in a good spot. Lipo packs, I don’t care much for.
