I've got a Crystalite 406 and a 35A controller, going
into an XtraCycle with 48V 30Ah. I've got some hills
to get over. Because apparently fuel prices went up
when I wasn't paying attention for the last couple
of years (grin) the subframe kit got hung up in a
shipping container somewhere between Taiwan and
Canada.
This isn't a "$350 setup" but for a little more
demanding condition it oughta be adequate. Like
100 km worth of "adequate." :)=)}
Those 5000-series motors, now -- I'm in serious
lust. I want one in a very light space frame running
72V. No pedals on that one, just pure speed. Or I
may do the same thing in a nice sprung freeride
frame and make an off-roader out of it, considering
that where I live the ratio of paved to unpaved roads
is like 1:20. But I gotta get "Fast and Bulbous"
finished first.
