My parts - 5 Kw BLDC from Golden Motor, controller, 48 v 20 Ah battery, charge controller, and motor controller have arrived. I await the reduction gearing from Thunderstruck (en-route in Sacramento right now). If that gets to Niagara Falls by Friday, I will be in a position to have my motor installed this weekend.
Right now, I left my battery being charged. I understand the charger has automatic cut off, so it should be safe.
I estimate this first battery should be enough to run at cruising speed (4.2 kn) for half an hour. I expect to buy another battery later this year (as funds allow), and perhaps two more before next cruising season, depending on how this all works out.
With my drill, some bolts and some angle iron, I should be able to have it all mounted up in a day or two of sweating and cursing. Then I can finally launch.
