Ebike Battery Tank

[petehouk]

Hey everyone. I am in the process of building an ebike starting with a Schwinn Corvette frame. I found a 10 ah battery pack that will fit in the "tank space" of the frame. Now...how to get a tank around it? I have some rudimentary metal working skills and tools but this looks like a really complicated shape to try and make. But this feels like the right place to put the battery instead of scabbing it on in a bag or on a rack.

Pictures of the battery in two slightly different positions are attached. The third top view shows how far this battery sticks out beyond the tubes of the frame.

Being that it is a canti Schwinn frame, I would start looking for a Phantom/Corvette after-market tank to use.

But if you want to make something custom, sculpt what you want and make a fiberglass tank.

If you are really bold, look at designing a 3d print tank. That's what I am looking at. Trying to make it look like a teardrop harley setup.
