Budget E-bike 40+ MPH running on Greenworks 80v Battery!!

It would help if you researched relays so you wouldn't blow up your switches.

Very cool. Any good references on your build? I had a 80v greenworks utility bike that actually was a pretty good bike. Ended up trading for a Motor Goat which is in a completely different league but I do miss the greenworks and already had 5 batteries for lawnmower and other tools. No they don’t get the best range but to be able to quickly swap and charge the batteries with the 6 amp fast charger was definitely nice. Think they cost to much but would love to build my own.

How did you manage to feed it 80v ? Voilamarts are typically 48v or 52v and the controller capacitors are 63v so I’m amazed you pumped 80v. I would think the capacitors would blow up. Unless you are using a different non-Voilamart Controller. Interested in your reply as I have a 60v battery but I don’t connect it to my Voilamart as fully charged it can hold 68v above the 63v capacitors. I wonder if these capacitors have some tolerance.

Thats super cool, not very practical but definitely fun, i spent the same just to top out at 22mph and get less than 20 miles range

I bought this kit and have you tried the 8ah battery I have a bunch of 2ah ones and a 8ah one but now I’m kinda scared to use it when the kit comes

Yo bro you gotta get a torque arm on the motor or your front dropouts are going to snap

[@talentscout5135]

I would like to build one that will do 50miles

[@smugreport]

What's the range you can ride? Is it only a few miles?

[@kitpannel2250]

@@smugreport I'd sat with the 5ah battery about 6-7 miles

[@kitpannel2250]

If your just cruising then probably about 15-18 miles
