The RalE-Izip. My first EV

I finally completed my first E-bike build so I thought I would share it. I wanted this to be a 24 volt bike because I wanted to make use of a 24v Ping battery pack that I bought two years ago for a mobility scooter project and then couldn't use it. I hated seeing it going to waste. I also wanted this to be a low budget build and operate at maximum allowable speeds for an e-bike. Last fall I had a lady give me a Schwinn Izip for free. 24v. and and two stone dead batteries for free, perfect.


Well, I am never satisfied with things as they are, so this is how it has ended up. I will post more on the transformation and performance later for anyone that may be interested.
