I built an electric bike...need Rawze to chime in.

I bought this for my wife and she wouldnt ride it. I bought an electric wheel kit and re fabricated the forks on the front end to accept the wheel. I built a lithium ion battery for it and took it for a test ride. I can cruise 22mph full speed. I ran almost 20 miles with it yesterday and only had a 4 volt drop in the battery pack. Considering you can charge an 18650 cell to 4.2 volts and go down to 2.7 the math says I can go almost 100 miles on one charge.....if I dont pedal. Not bad. I posted this because you can build this for a regular bike and store the bike wherever you want on the truck. When you layover just pull it down and put the battery in.....go for a long ride not worrying if you will over do it going too far from the truck. The batteries are easy to build and are not that bad to charge up.

Do some research and try it. Looking forward to next weekend.....hitting the bike trails in the area lowers the blood pressure.
