Home Made Electric Bicycle

Here’s a short video of someone who modified his bicycle to go electric. He used a brushless motor and a pack of several Li-Ion batteries of 36V capable of 30A (about 1kW). You’ll, see, he uses two, four, six, or eight of these batteries. That’s 8kW = about 5hp. That’s more than a regular motoscooter can do! I don’t know if I haven’t done any miscalculations, but this thing could get you to 100km/h easily! The batteries can be recharged in about 30 minutes. Watch the video and pull your own conclusions. After you did that, leave me a reply using the form below!
