electric trial bike

[Jay64]

That was an awesome video. Looks like a really good bike. It is weird to me that people with electric build videos have music playing. Kind of loose the effect that it is an electric. I like how they stopped the music at one point in the middle.

re the scorpa, would 5kw (7kw peak) do it for you, gwhy? on a 76kg bike? don't know... just curious.

ktm freeride looks pretty interesting... not exactly for trials but "new fields of use in urban and suburban areas"

KTM is endeavouring to give fresh impetus to the offroad segment. For this reason, KTM has developed an electrically driven, emission-free offroad bike with a battery that's quickly replaced. This motor concept of the KTM Freeride E opens up completely new fields of use in urban and suburban areas and generates greater acceptance of offroad sport. All-terrain riding has never been easier!

If you watch the vid of this bike , Yes I think it would, looks like if it might be geared for around 25i'sh mph which is more than enough for trials. I would love to get some peg time on this bike

WOW cool stuff for sure!!

Just another impractical "design student" CGI. .. AKA a "Computer Doodle"
I bet the kid has no concept of what is actually involved in making anything remotely like his idea !

I think the overall look is good and more than practical for trials riding (street/stunt riding ) the only thing that I would really worry about is the front axle, I really dont think a setup like that would last 5 mins for big hits.

Yeah it looks like a fun trick style bike. How do the pedals power the rear wheel? It almost looks like they turn some kind of dynamo or something. Come to think of it, could that work? You could still give your 200 watts or so back I would think??

Sure it would work but it would just be heavier and less efficient than a chain going to the rear wheel.

I know its not a e-trials but I think well work a look at the riding skills . I used to be able to ride like this when I was younger ( I wish )

new web site for the new e-motion http://www.electric-motion.fr/accueil.html

I want to work there. Actually I'm applying for my internship on my engineering school.
Wish me luck!

Good luck!, they need someone who can think out of the box ( the bikes good but could be better ) and I think your that person. I better keep Some of my Ideas to myself as I am working for a rival trials bike manufacture

This is quite a impresive hill climb from a electric bike

[bzhwindtalker]

Nice! I heard from someone of the team they placed 3rds of the competition, nice result for their first entry!
The motor seems to be a golden motor "10KW" axial flux, it is making quite a bit of commutation noise at low rpm though?

I heard 2nd, but either way its a very good result.

edit: nope you are right 3rd

Nice vid! I bet trials will be one of the firts motorsport where electrics will dominate, mainly because it makes so much more sense to have full torque at 0rpm

[gwhy!]

this is what trials is all about ... FUN
