A little more info...
I am curious to know how much this whole thing will weigh when complete. So I've started to weigh various components. I zero'd out the scale before I weighed each item.
Bicycle frame (
and fork): 21lb 6.3oz
Rear bike rack: 1lb 10oz
Hub motor and rim: 294.7oz
1 'pack' pf parallel cells: 1lb 9.9oz (x16 'packs' = 25.9lb)
Black heat shrink: 3.8oz
20ft 8 AWG wire: 1lb 5.7oz
Nickel strips: 3.6oz
Motor controller: 1lb 4.5oz
2x torque arms: 7.3oz
Battery charger: 2lb 1.2oz
Twist grip throttle: 9.2oz (
i'm splitting the difference between 9.1oz an 9.3oz)
Cable management: 1.4oz
eBike screen: 8.2oz
BMS: 3oz
Rear bike bag: 1lb 13.3oz
Scott Motocross goggles: 3.8oz
Joe Rocket gloves: 4oz
Motocross helmet: 3lb 5.9oz
Grant total weight (so far): 80lbs <--exactly!
I'm missing the weight from:
- 1x rear brake disc
- 2x Continental E Contact Tires
- Front rim (
and brake disc)
- Wooden battery box
- Air pump
- Spare inner tubes
Maybe closer to 90lbs when complete? We'll see...
Plus... "I" the rider weigh 147lbs, and I will normally carry a 5lb(
ish) backpack.
235lbs moving down the road when all said and done... ?
