Default ebike build

Parts I used.

NEXT Avalon Bike from Walmart $100
48V 500W rear hub motor kit from ebay. $227.90 shipped.
4 old 12v 7ah ups batteries. New ones would cost $66 locally.
Assorted nuts and bolts. Junk parts $0.

Top speed; 25mph downhill, about 21 on level road. Not bad considering I
weigh about 270.

I easily got 6 miles out of these old batteries, with a little left.
Charge time was about 1.5 hours back to full charge.

Installation was fairly easy. Came with thumb throttle which I didn't
think I'd like, but turns out I like it better than twist.

Questions?
