This year has been very busy with work and house renovations, unfortunately it's taking time away from the bike project. I have updated the schematic and sourced a better suited IGBT for the drivers and added some on board capacitance after some good feedback(thanks Will). I am just setting up my subversion server and an ftp server here so that I can host the project files a bit easier.
I have setup a workbench and purchased some steel to make up the motor brackets. I am just saving some money for the batteries and components for the motor controller. I have made up a small low power encoder(this is a for another project) which will be able to detect motor direction and speed. It will have 2 encoder counts per revolution.
So the todo list ATM is:
- Purchase battery's and battery charger
- Make motor brackets
- Make battery cradle
- Extend chain by 2 links
- Make and test motor controller(lot of work here, build prototype and write software)

Hi Bradley,
Looking forward to hearing about your progress. I'd be interested in helping out a bit more as things go. Particularly, I'm interested in inverter design and motor drive algorithms. Please drop me a line if you are interested. I'm in the US, so email is probably best. You can find my email on the evalbum page http://www.evalbum.com/1421 (I don't want to leave it here because of spam)
Cheers,
Will
