These batteries really change the game! All we need now is a ready made kit

I would be intersted in building a road bike (700c wheels) for top speed and distance. Would you be interested in assisting in the process? I could retain you if interested?

I try to talk people out of building their own because when something breaks they don't have a repair shop to take it to. See warnings on hybridpowerbike website

has anybody ever tried putting two motors on it? any results?

I've seen bikes with two motors. Two motors equal twice the energy drain, twice the weight, twice the cost. Make much more sense to just buy an electric scooter.

how much did all that cost

About $1500 but don't try to build one unless you know wiring because you will occasionally need to figure out why it quit working.
