here is why i´ve got interested in electric vehicles

04/16/2022 I´ve being thinking to build a electric bike for a long time but acquiring all the parts to make a full size motorcycle prove to be too expesnssive. As the gasoline price has gone crazy lately i had to find a solution that is to start small with a electric bike.i started with a old MTB size 26 that i´ve bought many years ago and was getting dust on the corner of my shop.next i had to find a cheap motor source, looking at my local newspaper i´ve found a cheap used hoverboard for sale, took the chance and bought it. Next the hard part, to fit everything onto the old bike,I´ll explain on a step by step on how I did it in the following days. If you like this show your appreciation and send me some 18650 cells even if it is one cell I´ll appreciate, i need more batteries to make a descent battery pack to get a descent range in the order of 20 km at least.Right now it does about 10Km if pedalling or 6km no pedalling using 2 old hoverboards battery packs.don´t rush to buy those chinese hoverboard battery packs , its only half the rated capacity, i´ve tryied 3 different brands and it´s all the same scamm. The ones i´ve came with the hoverboards and are LG 18650.Max speed is about 40kmh using the standard bike gear(48x14) and 48x14 on motor gear can do about 10km range this way if helping pedalling.i´ve used the hoverboard main board and the batteries that came with the hoverboard.It works just like the hoverboard but it drives the two motors in the same direction.
