i was thinking about buying a setup ( but at the lesser 36v to start off ) this is the kit here as advertised..
This kit has everything that you need:
* 400 watts motor (crystalyte 408)
* 36 volts 20amps controller
* 36 volts NiMh 8Ah battery in frame mounted protective case
* 36 volts NiMh charger
* 36 volts lighted twist throttle or thumb throttle
* 13 gauge stainless steel spokes and double wall rims with eyelet
* pedal-assist adapter (optional)
* Range 18 - 21 miles or 30 - 35km or (Non-pedal assist)
* Range 37 - 42 miles or 60 - 70km (pedal assist)
* battery box includes power switch, lock, key switch, inline fuse, and temperature sensor, with built-in charging port
my questions are with this kit if i got it ( for $770 ) what are my options to upgrade later ? is that a reasonable price ? ( seems to be from my research. ) would i be better off just getting a kit in pieces and assembling my own kit that way ? i will add that that kit at 770 is stretching my budget already.
ive been reading recently about the dewalts being able to deliver 72v quite impressively but its not the right time for me to do this now ( barely able to afford this possibly ) also best to wait till its worked out to a science on how to do it and it will be cheaper later also...
for that route i would need to upgrade to a 72v controller i no that much and of course buy the batteries themselves (x 4) or packs prebuilt (pretty expensive upgrade for me just yet but ill be saving ) but is that it ? also any recommendations on which one to get if i go to do it ? ive seen a 35a and a 40a what would be the difference with either in the system ? one of the reasons im choosing the 408 is because its pedal first and is better with these batteries i believe because it will draw less amps peak i dont want to ruin the batteries thats fer sure... and also its better for distance.
sorry for asking all these questions but ive never built one yet ( an e-bike ) so im a noob. but i love to ride ! and i want to ! soon ! thanks for any help
