Electric Bike Parts?

ffww72

I'm thinking of building my own electric bike, and I have compiled a list of all the things I think I need. They are as follows:

36-48 V Motor
20 Amp Controller
Thumb Throttle
(2) 36-70 V Lead Acid Batteries
Battery Charger

So is that all I need for a basic electric bike? And do I just wire them together and attach the motor to the wheels to get it running?

Answer
I've never built one, but you are on the right track. I'd suggest checking out some plans online. Here are a few that you might get a few ideas from.

E-Zip 2008 Mountain trail hybrid electric bike in rain/hot/cold?

What will happen if the battery of this bike soaked in rain?
How about if its battery covered in ice/snow?
Or if I park my bike outside while temp is so hot (90-100f).
Will anything happen to this battery or bike?
Thank u very much
mine is SLA battery

Answer
You don't say if the battery is lead acid, lithium or Ni-Mh. Lead acid batteries are particularly susceptible to cold and damp and the electrolyte will lose its charge if they are left in the wet or cold for any length of time and that will cause the cells to deteriorate. If however the battery is left for a short period of time say a few hours then it will be okay. I have an elecric bike and the golden rule is to keep the battery fully charged whenever possible- that is the state that makes it most resistant to external variations in temperature etc. I have a waterproof cover for mine just to prevent water getting into it. Hot temperatures don't seem to cause any problems and might actually improve battery performance.
