not sure on weight. its lithium so way lighter than lead acid
amazon, ebay or battery distributors for the batteries, cell holders, bms etc.

I've been tossing around the idea of converting my 42v golf cart to lithium... but now that I've seen this thread I'm probably going to sell the golf cart, pull the ol' Trek bikes off the rack and throw a mid-drive kit on it!

Here goes nothin' ..or rather here goes most of my time, money and focus for the next few months

Man I want to do this so bad but the extent of my knowledge of lithium batteries, voltage, amps and electricity in general is near grade school level. I'm scared when I get finished you would just see a large fireball going down the road at 25mph.

Tempting

Those are some awesome bike builds.
So I just got this bike for my Birthday, a 29" which is almost a cross between a beach cruiser and a mountain bike. It's just begging to become an ebike conversion.
I'm thinking a hub motor instead of a mid drive.
I've seen some kits that are very affordable, but batteries seem to be the expensive part. Any tips on more affordable battery. I'm thinking 48 volt, 1000 watt hub motor.

Can build one but any quality cell cost quite a bit. Depending on capacity and cell you are looking at $400+ on the low end.

The best way to explore nature is by riding a bike, that is a good looking DIY project.
