I have a 2011 XU that's going through a total rebuild. I picked it up as a project bike from a friend that was moving out of state. He had wanted to get it up and running as well, but just couldn't find the time. It's been remotored and doesn't have batteries currently.
Current mods are as follows;
- Golden motor 15Kw replacement
- Goldenmotor 72V 300A controller
- regeared chain for 5:1 ratio gearing
- whole new 12v side
- new Brembo brakes and rotors
- Cycleanalyst primary display
My question now is what cells should I look at for building a pack. Obviously it needs to be rated in the 250-300A capable region. I've been looking at maybe cells from Nissan Leaf packs, but it looks like wiring up a BMS to those would be a nightmare. My biggest desire for the project is to get the thing running around the 15-20kw area with onboard charging.
Thanks for any help. Pics will come tomorrow morning (2AM here and don't want to wake the family)
