Hi from south of France

[Cigales]

Hello everyone,
I'm looking to build myself a new ebike based on the Cheeb (e10), thus here I am looking for answers.

This will be my second ebike. My original ebike was a diy hub motor emtb based on Magic Pie 3 hub motor, Infineon/Lyen 4110 40A controlleur, 91v (22s8p) 18650 homemade battery pack (not made by me) and finally a Cycle Analyst. Having a top speed of about 80+ Km/h, it just felt great riding on the road with cars. The distance capacity was pretty good to, I think aroud 50-60km at almost top speed, and 80-90+ Km when riding on bike trails at slow speed.

I built it in 2013 with two other friends. We built one bike each, all the same main components. My bike lasted until just a month ago, which is about 8years, when the battery pack just died on me.

So here I am looking to build a new bike. I was initially thinking of buying a ready made one, but the prices are just crazy. I also like building them as I become much more capable to diagnose and fix issues when they arrive. Not to mentions the specs seem shit for ready made bikes.

Best regards,

Hi
How did you get on making it road legal? And will the next one be assist or throttle?

I didn't make it road legal , apart from lights and reflectors.
To make it a bike road legal with that amount of power , you need a specific permit. Not to mention insurrance.

As for the new one, if possible, I would like a throttle.
