I built this ebike for my wife and she absolutely loves it. The tiny Q85 250 watt motor is more than enough for her (though we don\’t have any hills around here) and gets her up to almost 20 mph. It also has a nice balance of weight with the motor up front and battery in the rear. She keeps the seat nice and low so the battery weight isn\’t up too high either. The original battery is down to about 6 AH from its original 10AH after a little over two years of use, so we\’ve got a second LiFePO4 battery for it and the ebike is still going strong. I\’ve really been surprised by what a workhorse this little ebike has turned out to be.

Ebikeschool.com has a lot of great info, but I've spent countless hours putting even more info, examples, how to's, reviews, maintenance steps and buying guides into my book and video course.

If you want to learn more in-depth about building your own lithium battery, you'll want to check out my book "DIY Lithium Batteries: How To Build Your Own Battery Packs" which is an Amazon #1 Bestseller in multiple categories!
You can get it here on Amazon.

And if you don't want to purchase my book (or you already have a lot of ebike knowledge), you can still support this site by simply clicking on this link before you shop on Aliexpress. Basically, that's an affiliate link that shows Aliexpress that you came to them via my site. It doesn't effect you at all, but if you make a purchase, this site will get a small percentage of the profit that Aliexpress makes. It's a simple way to help support this site so I can pay the hosting and keep providing more free info (and to keep this site free of annoying ads). I have some of those affiliate links on a limited number of articles on my site. When I personally buy and test products that I find to be a combination of great quality and great prices, like these batteries, for example, I like to share them through those affiliate links. Again, it costs you nothing, but it allows me to keep cranking out more info and content for you guys!

Thanks for understanding!
