    This strongly resembles a gas minibike I built from scratch many years ago. I used plumbing pipe for a frame and it was rather heavy. I needed to register it because of the engine size I used. I had a lot of fun with it. It hadn't occurred to me to build an electric version until seeing this. Nice work.
    It's strange that individual states regulate gas engine sizes for scooters and bicycle conversions but don't regulate electric motor sizes at all.
    I wonder why you spent the extra money on a gasketed battery box when the cable entrances aren't sealed.

    Like sure those motors consume a lot of watts. But they are tiny... A proper 7kw hub motor would do 100+Nm torque. That flipsky motor is rated for 17Nm max.... sure the gear ratio gives you some more but imo those are worthless in anything bigger than skateboards. Or really small EV's where hub motor wont provide enough torque.

    15/70 gear ratio for 7kw or 9.5hp and you only got 22mph??? You should be getting at least double. Try a 18/65. I have a built Briggs 5hp on a vintage mini bike with a 18/65 gear ratio it goes 65mph and it makes ~7200rpm. I usually use a formula to calculate top speed.(Rpm/ratio x Wheel D x 3.14 /12 /5280 x60) hope that helps.

    sohe said 726 watt hour battery and a 7000 watt motor. Thats how you know something is off. That battery would have to be a lipo with at least 10S discharge rate or the battery will explode. And if the battery is 726 watt hour and the motor is 7Kw then you have only 5 minutes of ride time.
    My conclusion is that the motor is not really 7Kw. Have you see a 7Kw motor?? its massive!

    Guys. it's 2024. Why is everybody still using chains? If you start from scratch anyways use a belt drive. Lasts you longer.

    Would it be easier to use a rear hub motor instead of a mid drive set up? You would just need three plugs, throttle, ecu and battery.
