My first foray into e-bikes has immediately landed in what seems to be the ultimate problem with the technology, a hazardous Lithium-ion battery 馃槀 Wish me luck in getting our city hazmat folks to take it on Friday, and that it does not decide to self ignite. #BikeTooter

So the questions now (aside from the "how do I keep the battery from catching fire" 馃お )
1. How to convert this to a Class I e-bike
2. What battery technology to switch it to, and what is the hub capable of (with focus on SAFE battery tech -- I assume LiFePO4 is the right choice here now)
3. What e-bike controller would work best (vs. whatever is hacked into here now, which is "turns on when pedaled")
(The purpose of this foolish exercise, for me, is simply to learn about the technology... I am quite happy pedaling uphill with my normal bikes right now!)
Naked ebike action. 36V controller. #ebike
