I am about to start a new job 15 miles away from were I live, 5 miles city ridding and 10 miles country roads and lanes, its shift work 24/7 so night and winter ridding and a minimum of 30 miles round trip a day in all weather conditions. I live in Norfolk so no step hills to worry about.
My ebike wasn’t up to the challenge in its condition,http://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/electric-bicycles/1664-modded-sprint.html so it was time for an upgrade.
All the electrics except for the motor needed to be upgraded and repositioned on the bike,
first a new Battery was needed went for a Ping 48volt 12amp (EBay), a new controller an Ecrazyman (EBay) 600watt 48volt 30amp, Halogen twin Head lights 5Volt 10watt and 5volt 5watt wired into the main battery(EBay s/h).
The seating position is very comfy with my best seat but not good for wind resistance, so set up some drop handle bars fitted for a more aerodynamic position with a pressure cut off switch to cut the motor, Used Fleccs cruse control Mod to hold the throttle open at whatever position its set at. Plus a rear mirror Speedo and bell.
Plus a new Bulldog D lock and armed cable, a descent tool kit, puncture repair and pump, which fit in the battery bag. A basic AA battery rear light at the moment but will be making a new rear light soon which will run off the main battery
