BMC motorParts collection

LocationNew Port Richey, Florida US map
Vehicle2008 Schwinn S60 DSX
MotorPower Pack Motors BMC 600w Brushless DC
This motor normally has a built in controller, which is now removed, and has wires for an external controller in place.

This removes a large source of heat from inside the case, and allows for much greater power.

Eventually I will do forced air cooling for the motor.
DrivetrainChain drive through the bottom bracket.
ControllerShenzen 48v 28a BLDC
Chinese made controller, works well for me.
Batteries6 Milwaukee v28 Li-on, 28.00 Volt, Lithium-Ion
I have 6 Milwaukee v28 Li-on batteries hooked up in 6p.

They are able to put out 15-20 amps each (with the BMS intact), so that gives me up to 90-120 amps at 28v.
System Voltage28 Volts
ChargerMilwaukee 3 Bay
1 Hour full charge for 3 batteries (2 hours for all 6).
Top SpeedNot tested, but I hope for a 40mph top speed.
RangeThe bike is not complete yet, so I can't give an accurate range.
I estimate 20 miles un-assisted at 25mph though.
Seating Capacity1 adult
Curb Weight52 Pounds (23 Kilograms)
Conversion TimeCountless hours reading.
Tons of time rounding up parts, and ordering what I need.
Very little so far in actual fabrication, since I am still waiting on some key parts to arrive.
