guys, i know im not done with other build yet but i have this spare 500w rear hub motor just sitting there and i had 2 issues with my 72v 3kw cyclone that is making me think i should make a spare bike incase something breaks in my main bike. i would just use one of the batteries to power the spare bike. and, i am thinking of a 26" folding bike in case weather is bad and i need to be dropped off or if i want to go far to bike. but, you know i need to tinker... and, i think i also found a 1000w 38a 36v controller for cheap.
i want to try to integrate a supercapacitor setup with the 36v lithium battery where the battery will charge the supercap and then the supercap will dump the amps to get up to speed fast and then the battery will take over at speed. ive seen supercaps 15-16v for $20 but if they can be wired in series that is 45-48v and will my 33-42v lithium battery will be able to charge that or i need some type of converter?
here is what im thinking...
- 26" folding bike
- 36v 16ah or 24ah lithium battery from main bike (when main is in service)
- 45-48v supercap with 5-8 wh
- upgraded 38A controller to go about 30 mph max, 20-24 cruise
what do u think? feel free to tell me this is stupid. i am fine doing it without the supercaps; i figure i am not gonna craiglist the motor for peanuts when i could use a spare bike.
