A DIY E-bike Conversion on the Cheap

Cars That Think

He'd been selling kits for his mount in small numbers. Online discussions convinced me, however, that this is the expected behavior when commanding a motor to maintain a fixed amperage in its windings (thus applying constant torque) while under little load. I thought: "What could be easier?".
