This was originally an electric motorcycle with a chain drive, but I purchased it as a rolling chassis and mounted a rear hub motor and sourced new power components. The BMS will occasionally cut power at highway speeds with a sudden change in headwind, and after ~20 seconds at high speeds up a hill. I plan to upgrade to a 150A/200A BMS to avoid this. I commute 12 miles to and from work with this and it works well. It is 8 city and 4 highway miles. I typically arrive at work with 60% charge. With the on-board charger, I gain all that back in 60-90 minutes and I've never had an issue with range. There is easily space to add more batteries if need be in the future.
