Base is a TREK 2014 Rumblefish pro. Im using a Backpack-Battery, which is more comfortable as you might think!
At the moment im going with 84Volts/18Amps /1500W, but i can increase both V and A up to 2500W if needed!
There’re quite a few custom made parts, from controller-holder, Battery Connector / Cable including anti-lightning-resistor to 2 massive both-sided
torque arms…
I’m storing the bike in my living-room in a custom bike stand, including a place for the backpack and 2 LiIon 10s chargers.
Due to the backpack-battery the bike remains quite agile und makes it very smooth and fun to ride! i love it =)

All the help and knowledge I've provided here on EbikeSchool.com is 100% free If you want to support this site and help me keep it free, consider checking out my ebook and video course on building ebikes.

Ebikeschool.com has a lot of great info, but I've spent countless hours putting even more info, examples, how to's, reviews, maintenance steps and buying guides into my book and video course. They are some of the most fact-dense and info-rich ebike resources available today. So check them out to see if they can help you with your own ebike!

If you want to learn more in-depth about building your own lithium battery, you'll want to check out my book "DIY Lithium Batteries: How To Build Your Own Battery Packs" which is an Amazon #1 Bestseller in multiple categories!
You can get it here on Amazon.

And if you don't want to purchase my book (or you already have a lot of ebike knowledge), you can still support this site by simply clicking on this link before you shop on Aliexpress. Basically, that's an affiliate link that shows Aliexpress that you came to them via my site. It doesn't effect you at all, but if you make a purchase, this site will get a small percentage of the profit that Aliexpress makes. It's a simple way to help support this site so I can pay the hosting and keep providing more free info (and to keep this site free of annoying ads). I have some of those affiliate links on a limited number of articles on my site. When I personally buy and test products that I find to be a combination of great quality and great prices, like these batteries, for example, I like to share them through those affiliate links. Again, it costs you nothing, but it allows me to keep cranking out more info and content for you guys!

Thanks for understanding!
