Got quite a bit done today.
Here's a better look underneath the seat at the frame bar I made to replace the seat bucket.
Adapter plate that secures the frame bar to the old seat latch.
Machine some 3-inch aluminum spacers and a side plate to hold the 5th battery in place. I then wired an IEC320 extension inbetween the 48v pack and the motor controller power input.
The 60V charger to replace the 48V one.
I still need to add replacement turn signals.
I ran some tests prior to starting to charge the 5th battery so these speeds represent a running voltage that's likely lower than that of a fully charged set of batteries.
New top speed on level ground @ 62.5 volts: 23 mph
Old top speed on level ground: 18mph
New top speed downhill: 29mph
Old top downhill: 24 mph
Better than the top speed is the shorter acceleration curve and the improvement in hill climbing ability. Even when climbing steep hills that used to lower my speed to 9mph, I'm now climbing them all at 16mph.
Will update with a finalized list of speeds tomorrow. I'm starting to get to NEV performance levels. All with a sub-$1,500 e-bike.
