The Battery is Done and I Didn't Die (Patreon)

I would love to say that final assembly couldn't have gone smoother, but there was literally a short circuit and things caught fire.

But we persevered.

Spot welding took a super long time because I bought the cheapest welder that kept overheating, but the whole process was easy! I thought it would be scary but it was just straightforward.

I also bought a used mini lathe on Facebook and machined parts for the first time! Just two small threaded brass cylinders which are the main positive and negative terminals.

I'm really happy to say that the battery management system works perfectly, and so does the motor controller! I got the motor to spin up but it still needs so proper tuning to dial everything in.

Time to build a case and get everything mounted to the bike :)
