Electric Bike Modification

I spent two weekends turning my bike into an electric bike using materials I found at MITERS. I ended up spending only $10 of my own money on this project.

I submitted this project for an Instructables contest.

To increase consistency, I plan to go back to this project and increase the thickness of some parts and to use a #35 chain instead of a #25 chain. I also plan to double the battery voltage from 5S to 8S to increase the speed even further, as the motor is rated for much more than I'm running it at.
