Vehicle Older Italian made bike
MotorBosch EV warrior motor set up Permanent Magnet DC
Found a used EV Warrior motor on ebay. Mounted under the baby seat with a custom made bracket (thanks to my neighbor who welded it up for me)- pivots down when accelerating to engage the wheel and pops up when free wheeling.
Drivetrain12 speed
ControllerCurtis 1505
Seems to be very stable- tempted to run it at 36v to see what happens.
Batteries2, 24.00 Volt, Lead-Acid, AGM
using 2 "half U1" wheelchair batteries at 18 ah
System Voltage24 Volts
Charger el chepo generic 24v smart charger
does the job
Heaternone
DC/DC Converter none
Instrumentation0-10 "accelerator" potentiometer

on/off switch
Top Speed20 MPH (32 KPH)
Due to the very skinny tires (and all the weight) this thing does not feel very stable at 20+ MPH- cruses very comfortably at 7-12 MPH.
AccelerationIf I adjust the bracket to dig into the tire more = better but then I lose the top end speed.
RangeJust finnished it but I did take it out one day and went about 15 miles before the batteries gave out (lots of hills and acceleration)
Seating Capacity1 adult, 1 child
Curb Weight0
Too heavy!
Tires27 inch
Conversion Time3 weeks working in the evening on and off.
Conversion CostTotal $250 (first project - had to buy everything- lots of runs to the hardware store.
Comments and suggestions welcome, this is the first ev for me. My rear rims is already bent I guess I should have done this to a sturdier bike!
