A few other odds and ends brings it close to $400 total.
The charger controller is overkill for the one panel, and you don't need a lithium battery necessarily, but you also have to be careful what lead acid you get as most are not built for deep cycling. You can probably get a much larger capacity solar or marine deep cycle lead acid for what I paid.
I dunno. . . The silverfish battery pack seems pretty standard. And there are are off-the-shelf lithium motorcycle batteries that will do the trick. It's not much of an issue for DIY eBikes.
