 +On this early first version, I've adapted a brushed DC motor of 2kW to the wheel with 3D printing parts. But that was not a good idea. The motor was quite cheap, and that was difficult to put the chain in the right place. 
 + 
 +Also, After about 200km, I've burned out the motor because of too much current for a long period... 
 + 
 +So, after that, I've bought a wheel with a brushless motor inside, and the result is much more better :

 +It's well integrated now.

 +===== Battery enclosure ===== 
 + 
 +After the tests, I've 3D printed the battery enclosure in ABS on a printer I've designed in my company and added 2 aluminium plates to close it. 
 + 
 +The battery is well integrated to the frame and it's working like a charm.

 +===== Results and tests ===== 
 +As I've said, the brushed DC motor wasn't a good idea and burned out quite quickly. 
 + 
 +After the installation of the brushless wheel, the results are very good. 
 + 
 +The max speed I was able to reach is about 62-63 km/h on flat roads. 
 + 
 +The range is about 200km with pedal assist set to 1 (minimal consumption,​ you need to pedal but without sweating you can reach 25-27 km/h. 
 + 
 +If you go without pedal assist (just with throttle, like a bike and going beetween 55-60 km/h, the range is reduced to about 60km (1 hour in fact). 
 + 
 +So, very good project, the global cost was about 700€, without the bike I already had.
