48V Electric Flat Tracker

Step 11 Final Assembly

After we had finished the assembly, we had to wire it up. Within a few hours, we were testing it up and down the parking lot. It really accelerates quickly and we have not tested it for top speed. It is estimated to do better than 50 mph.
The controller we used can connect to a PC via a serial (RS-232) cable. With the freeware on their site, alltraxinc.com, you can view statistics in real time, change settings, and adjust the power curve for the throttle.

Hopefully you will carefully take note of your bearings and ability to stop at those speeds. A cruiser bicycle is not usually taken up to such speed. Tires too can fail catastrophically when over sped past their designed limits.

My younger brothers had a busted up pedal type moped that may be a good source if I get the chance to try something like this. I'd have never thought of that till the landing LOL thanks!
