Before you write your first line of code, you write your tests. Before you write those tests you think of the behavior of an app and write your acceptance tests. Before that you should have also written the README

‘Azub Eco’ Recumbent, the better e-Bike
A few weeks ago I finally finished converting my recumbent bike into an e-bike. I use it mainly to commute to work, approx. 18km, one-way. My requiremente were:
- Average speed of 25-30 km/h to reduce the time to work to 30-40 minutes
- Capable of climbing moderate hills (we have plenty of those here in Freiburg)
- One charge lasting a full day plus reserve
- Spending less than 500 € in total for the conversion
I ended up buying the following parts:
- Akkumatik Charger (as DIY set)
- Conversion kit from elfKW
The base for this project is the Azub Eco recumbent bike; it’s beatifully simple and reasonably cheap.
I built the battery from used cells originating from professional powertools. Here it is, being topped-up after a day’s roundtrip (5 Ah).
I can totally recommend this setup. It is cost effective and quite powerful and I learned a lot along the way! If you have any questions I am happy to elaborate on the conversion.
