This is the first time I've ever posted a build for others to follow.
I'm still waiting on parts, but I'm going to start my battery incloser here soon, Not exactly sure if I'm going to go with sheet metal, aluminium, fibreglass or buy a custom made leather bad from a guy on the endless sphere who does some nice custom made ones. I will be using leather and wood throughout the bike since I have old hardwood flooring from a barn find, I want to incorporate some on the bike, like on the battery inclosure side covers to access everything. I have a few weeks before my forks are done, have to lace a front wheel. I laced the hub motor with a fat wheel 80mm wide, as for rubber I'm going to use WTB Thickslicks 26 x 2" Some people hate that look, I love that look. I would like to go with a rootbeer colour powder coating but I'm not 100% set on that colour just yet. This is my first build post but I have been reading the threads on here for a long time now. This will be my second e-bike build.
As for the parts I'm using:
NBPower QS 205 50H pre-drilled for ferrofluid by NBPower in Korea, they have been very helpful with some of the best aftersales support. I've ever experienced buying internationally. I have been buying from them for a long time now especially stull for my solar-powered Garage/Workshop,
NBPower 150a Sabvoton Controller TFT Color screen w/Bluetooth. The Controller is Modified with the help of a buddy on YouTube. Hopefully, he will join us here.
NBPower Thumb throttle, I love their thumb throttle it's very linear and silky smooth
NBPower Alarm system
NBPower 12v step down
Ruff Cycles 144mm crankset with BB and 190mm spindle
Ruff Cycles offset rear sprocket
Ruff Cycles Basman Seatpost cut down to meet the upper tube on the Tango frame
Ruff Cycles Skully Aluminum Saddle, going to cover it with leather or use it as a templet to carve it out of wood.
Ruff Cycles Skully Chainring
Ruff Cycles Z drag bars
125cc front non-inverted forks, my friend still working on it.
Hope headset
NPower front & rear 4 piston hydraulic disc brakes with Re-gen switch built-in
203 front Hope rotor 160mm rear Hope rotor w/SSC rear bracket "it's for bikes that are not tabbed to mount callipers and only has coaster brakes" Stay away fro the cheap black ones on eBay
I haven't decided if I'm going to us my lipo's or build a 18650 lithium-ion pack. 84v 20ah
I will add more in as I go on. I'm super excited to get this one done. Spreading the chainstays from 135 to 155mm should be easy, then i will get to work on the battery encloser or might buy the custom made leather one.
Thanks for stopping by, I will post my progress on here every chance i get. hope my pictures upload.
