Electric motorbike update 1 - new motor and battery solution

Update on the electric motorbike project, new motor fitted and battery box mostly welded together.
The motor is a Motenergy ME-1003, around 12kW continuous @ 72V. The battery tubes are recycled from Segway electric scooters, they are 10S 2P Lithium Ion using 10A high-discharge rate Samsung cells.

Nice find on those batteries and the new motor looks much more suitable.
Looks to be rated for 23 KW for < 1 minute, should be fun
