Electric Cycle
Highlights
- End-to-end build: mechanical integration, wiring, safety, testing, and tuning
- Modular electrical architecture for easy swapping/upgrading of components
- Focus on reliability and maintainability: tidy harnessing, protected connectors, serviceable layout
- Real-world testing on city streets (acceleration, braking, range feel)
What I did
- Mechanical: mounting the drive system, aligning chainline / belt run, vibration isolation
- Electrical: battery management, motor controller wiring, throttle/brake signaling, fusing & safety
- Firmware/controls: controller configuration and basic tuning for smooth starts
- Field testing: iterative test–fix–test cycles to validate performance and robustness
Notes & safety
- Use appropriate fusing, wire gauges, strain relief and insulation; protect against vibration and weather.
- Validate braking performance and safe speeds for your local roads.
- Charge/store batteries safely and follow manufacturer guidance.
