Hey all,
On the conversion of my 2014 Specialize Sirrus Elite Disc, I have a few questions before making the kit purchase. BOM below
- 750 vs 500 W motor? I'm 250 lbs 5'9" with a single long hill at the origin side of my 10 mile (each way) commute. The rest is flat. Seems like 750W is commonly available, almost de facto standard. No reason to choose 500W, right?
- Should I bother with weight saving by choosing a 10Ah battery over a 15Ah one or am I just limiting myself for future use or over straining parts?
- Am I right thinking I can use a 52V battery pack with a BBS02 48V motor? Is this a controller/programming issue?
- Gear change sensors are recommended, yes? To save wear on cassette?
- Any reccos on using the phone as the display? Is that a thing? I'd love to just mount my phone and see and control the bike assist, speed, etc.
Thanks in advance,
Moe
