Seeing if I can make a mid drive.

I'm thinking this might be the setup I'll go with, maybe three u bolts to to the frame probably four. I'm thinking I might be done for the day. It took all day to get a solid 2 hours worth of work done. I have a shell of a junked dryer that might hide this mess pretty well.

Is there a amperage or wattage tag on your electric motor? Also what average speed controller did you get? Display?

No display, it's a ten dollar e bay controller that is only 350 watt 36 or 48 volt. I have plans for a 20 dollar eBay 1000 watt controller. No tag the best I can find out is Ryobi says it's as powerful as a 162cc or something 153cc engine, I take that with a grain of salt though I mean last time i checked engines weren't power rated by the cc

Is your controller for a brushless motor? Go 48volt if you can afford it.

Yes it's a brushless controller that will work with 36 or 48 volt. My battery is 36v so for now that's the setup. I like these little controllers that work with or without hall sensors since this motor has no hall sensors. I'm wondering how it will actually work out under load as it was from a lawnmower and the controller that was with it just spun it at 2800 rpm on and off.

That controller in the picture is for a brushed motor as I can't seem to find my brushless controller at the moment.

How many wires is coming out of your electric motor?

How is the custom mid-drive coming?

I am pretty much done with the mounting system besides painting it, although I think it is a bit to heavy duty. Maybe I could cut a bit of the metal away to lighten it a bit.

Looks good to me. Have you done any testing yet? I'm wander if that lawn mower motor is more a torque motor or a high speed screamer. Thanks.
