Would order instantly. I have a bunch of e-scooter 18650 battery packs that would be nice to convert to an e-bike one.
If Kickstarter is starting in Sept, then I guess it will be another 1-2 years.

Where get?
There is a guy that rides the trail near me thats riding an ebike with a triangular battery pack that looks identical to one some HNer built here - He's too fast and I havent been able to stop him.
Another question for the DIY e-bik crowd, is what kind of OTS motor could one harvest, like a motor from an electric lawm mower, or edger, weed-wacker? Are there power tools where the electric motor is useable? (like how people originally used mower engines in goKarts and such?
Also, for fireproofing - mix Powdered Aerogel into a Silicon Slurry and dip the battery in that - the silicon and aerogel will make a heat sleeve thats quite fire resistant.
You might be thinking of jacquesm and this bike:
We're doing a Kickstarter because we're a startup so we need the upfront money to buy the parts and build the battery! We expect to ship to Kickstarter customers in November 2024!
