How much??? Don't ask
Lost track of the expenses for this creation. Went with a 1300W front hub motor with dual 52V batteries wired in parallel just because the frame already weighed 78lbs. With motor, batteries, ECU & rack/lock it now tips the scales at 108lbs. but somehow manages 32mph. on flats!

Doug Daut @ Electric Bike Solutions in Fairfield CA. supplied all the electronics for the conversion & was a wealth of information & a great resource for future work.
Humble beginnings.


Electronics need to breathe



ECU & battery #1


Ignition
