You think
I'm about to place a order for my third container of motors I take a basic motor and turn it into this

and this

and this


We may have a motor wound in China but EnerTrac builds wheels and traction systems for customers

Mark,
Great looking new wheel designs. I may have to design a LOWRIDER, two wheeler around one of these? It only takes time and $$$$!

Thanks more hard work ahead as we tweak the bike for the next race. Its hard when the competition is running Lipo VS our heavy tin can headway cells

Well that sucks since i dont think the fuel aka batteries should decide the winner .. You dont see in gas races diferent mixes of fuel ; at least i think so. Anyway i read on some e blog that catavolt motor is 10 kw continious; shouldnt it bee 20kw? Good luck on races to come

the motor I developed with forced air cooling is more like a 50KW motor

peak rating, you saying? Anyways great job mark, i think that double stack motor will start kicking some azz soon. Having ridden a heavy bike with one of your standard motors, i am quite impressed and cant wait to follow your continued process

Hmmm, which controller setup did you plan to use..?

Damnit! I totally forgot you were in NY!!!!!!!! I was just up there racing my Harley-Davidson at New Jersey Motorsports Park. Man, I really wanted to stop by and see you guys whenever I made it to NY, but forgot that you were up there when I actually went. I definately like that double rear with the non spoke rim. I need to get a few of my builds done and sold, then talk to you about some builds with your motors.

So what's new on the hub motor front? Looks like the modded dual-602 did well on the Catavolt bike.

Are the DU-602 and DU-603 motors "list items" now? I don't see any info on your main site about them, just in forums and your blog thus far...

Saw some pictures on FB (link below) of the dual-motor GPRS bike at yesterday's NYC Pier 54 event for National Plug-In Day 2011- congrats on making it out there and offering rides! Looks like you made at least one good impression

This bike is a blast to ride.

and from a separate forum:

Quick review: Mega fun. It was configured for a steady output, it feels like the weight of a 600, pulled like a steady 600, slight cogging at <5mph but with torque like this you won't be doing that speed for long.

We had a fun day We always offer rides its really why we go EV's are about the experience, if you don't try it then you can't understand, but once you do and I see the EV smile on someones face then I know I'm doing my part at spreading the word.

How are the DU motors doing Mark. Any more news/stats/videos?

[Doctorbass]

My friend Jean Luc bought from Mark the DU-602

We should get it soon and i'll try making some video of the build we are making (a GSXR1100) with headway cells...

Great job Mark! That is the best way to make converts to electric.

Thanks Luke

On your trips around the world why not stop through New York and visit us.

I saw the catavolt in action at the huntervalley ev day, its an impressive machine indeed.
I'm just wondering, since it has to be cooled, all that heat generated is obviously energy lost,
is it not possible to wind the motor such that there is no heating generated? I'm guessing the windings are a
trade off in some way for torque/speed/heat generated.
Is it not possible to reduce heat loss by having windings that will handle the current ? ( thinkness/no. turns etc)

[Doctorbass]

Hey guys

My Friend Jean Luc got his motor from Mark today!

And.. installed on his own GSX1100 swing arm

Thanks Mark for the great work!

With 144V Headway and 600 amp controller it should be impressive!
( note that the TS cells are for another project!)


Here is some big hub motor porn!
