Electric Bike (v6)
The current pinnacle of the series: Grade-A EVE 33V cells, rigorous validation with 4-wire IR and capacity testing, and a unibody PETG battery holder. A professional-grade build with a 2500W peak output and a perfectly matched internal resistance spread.
Electric Bike (v5)
A 72V 20S6P rebuild from recycled cells with a dedicated Daly BMS and a real charger — ending the series/parallel charging hack. The build where internal resistance finally clicked as the real measure of cell health.
Electric Bike (v4)
A 2000W hub motor build on 12S, constructed from two 6S packs wired in series for riding and in parallel for charging. A short circuit from a wiring mistake destroyed both BMS units — and led to conformal coating and a 'remove before flight' tag.
Electric Bike (v3)
A mid-drive conversion using a 6384 outrunner motor mounted to the frame with hardware-store L-brackets, reaching 45 km/h. Built at 15, this was the first attempt at metal fabrication and proper gearing math — and the build that killed two VESCs.
Electric Bike (v2)
A VESC-powered upgrade of the v1 friction-drive ebike, reaching 40 km/h on the same dangerous hand-soldered 6S8P pack — now with a BMS bypass and a detachable magnetic joystick throttle.
Electric Bike (v1)
A friction-drive e-bike built at 13 from marketplace 18650 cells, a salvaged leafboard motor, a cheap RC ESC, and a hand-soldered 6S8P battery pack.
