Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about.

I may do something like this myself in the future.

I would be interested in a link to the site where you bought the electric kit.

How much did it cost for purchase and delivery?

Was there an additional charge at the Cambodian end?

Where do you get something like this sent to?

Well done Beaker. I'm one of those guys with 2 left hands when it comes to mechanical things, even putting together an IKEA table is a challenge so that's not for me but I'm impressed.

Also highly recommed this guy --->https://eunorauebike.aliexpress.com/sto ... 4c4dTNML13

No extra charges from customs. Motor Kit took only 2 days by DHL from the date of shipment. Battery considered hazardous had to be shipped by an alternative carrier and took 9 days.

I had it sent to my home.

Have you thought about theft. The first time you are not watching it, it may go for a ride without you.

Yes, but decided it better to just make my own rather than steal from someone else and there are not that many ebikes in the country so I would have to wait too long.
The battery locks onto the bike with key lock so that would be hard to steal.
Unless the thief knows how to operate an ebike they won't be able to ride it away.
It is almost 3 times the weight of a standard bike so they won't carry it far.
I lock it too.

Waiting for this stuff to come in the mail then I will begin :D

only 2 days to ship from china via DHL

interesting I know at least one person who might want this set up. Glad to read it has a braking system at those speeds !
It uses the bikes brakes but also has regenerative braking from the motor which is adjustable. The brake levers that come with it have a micro switches which cut the motor power when pressed. In my case I need to use alternative magnetic switches so that I can use my existing levers because they have built in shifters.
Here's an update. Got the battery yesterday so put it all together while the battery is charging. Took most of the afternoon to do but not hard at all. Took it out for a spin ran nice, quiet and smooth easily did 30km/hr. I need to dial in the controller settings. I still haven't got all the wires routed properly and tied down because the local hardware store was closed today.

Still need to sell my Honda Forza NSS250A if anyone is interested
Got the controller dialed in today. Now my top speed, in traffic, was 48.8kms/hr. I'm sure it will do 50 easy but too many in my way. Need to get a loud horn now 8)

Should be able to do 50kms/hr for 30kms without a charge or pedaling. I'm waiting for a new Pedal Assist Sensor (PAS) with that I will be able to easily get a lot farther as there are 5 pedal assist modes where you can set the speed in each mode to match gears while pedaling. Could do it now by adjusting the thumb throttle and setting the cruise control and pedaling but with the PAS it will be much simpler right now I'm just using it around Ta Khmao and it's fun just hauling ass
