Hello there,

I've always wanted a C5 so recently I bought a cheap one the was supposed to be a runner before the battery died.

The plan is to upgrade with a BLDC 1500W motor.

A bluetooth controller

Powered by a Lifepo4 48V 30Ah.

Upgrade throttle controls to include a reverse and cruise.

Not forgetting to upgrade the brakes. I believe there is a kit available on here, I still have to find it.

I'm still finding my way around. I've never done anything similar so any advice would greatly appreciated.

Any C5 lovers in the Netherlands/Randstad?

Bye Chas ps on page one ....

Hi and welcome to the forum BDLC. Looking ofrward to seeing your C5 with all its upgrades

Bluetooth controller ordered. It will be on a slow boat from China so will take over a month to arrive.

Controller has arrive but plans have been delayed due to lack of funds. Don't you just hate it when that happens.

In the meantime, may I ask for some advice?

I'd like to mount the motor as shown in the the following video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CuxoZA3AG1w
My questions are - The motor I'm thinking of using is this BLDC-108 1500W. http://www.goldenmotor.com/frame-bldcmotor.htm
The drive shaft is 12mm in dia hand has a 4mm key. If I also want a 11/44 ratio where can I find a front and rear socket that would fit mount both the drive shaft and axle respectively? Welding the rear axle can be tricky I believe.

Any ideas are greatly appreciated.
