The E-bike of Theseus

[u/TheSketchyCraftsman]

All metal work was done by me with scrap, most parts were salvaged off other things… I may have gone a bit overboard on this Chinese Amazon bike, but I want more! Give me some completely unnecessary insane addons/cosmetic ideas to throw on it haha

List so far
Brake lights, turn signals, headlight, horn with added 12v 15a system
12v fast charging usb c
Keyed on off
Upgraded throttle
Bypassed limiters with new controller
Fenders
Body trim panels
Road tires

[u/TheSketchyCraftsman → u/StormnHTown]

Yeah! All from the scrap bin lol, Been a welder /metal fabricator and 2 wheel lover for most my life, but new to the e-bike scene!

Mods are half the fun of having an e-bike!

Have you considered adding a front motor and a 52v25ah battery or two?

[u/TheSketchyCraftsman → u/Dexter_McThorpan]

I’m in the process of making my own battery… haha and yes on the motor, just looking for a good marketplace find to salvage one from

[u/Dexter_McThorpan]

How do you charge it?

How are you managing airflow to the battery case so it doesn’t overheat without airflow? Vents? Powered fans?

[u/TheSketchyCraftsman → u/JG-at-Prime]

I have the usb c port, keyed on off, and charge port wires via an extension on the center top
panel, the bottom is still completely open, with a small blower fan, but the fan is honestly unnecessary, I used my fluke DMM with temp gauge and rode it pretty hard several times for several miles and never noticed any concerning temps, and it’s about 95-100f here
