[Arlo1]

Luke goes big to small realy fast at ~4:15 lol

[biohazardman]

Now that's what I have been witing to see. Great footage of what the race was really like. I be waiting for the other half. Yup Lukes bike is really fast. Thanks for taking the time to post this up.

[knoxie]

Awesome!! man I am feeling I know this circuit by now! great to watch the passing moves between your lady and Luke very cool (I Know Lukes drops in speed were controller related) but equally the hub motor bike was super fast.

Thanks for posting the video, looking forward to the next instalment

[Thud]

Hey MBR,
Hope the holidays treated you well!
I see you mentioned the April 7th race in PaulD's give away thread. (so i guess its on then LOL) I didn't want to post the event in case it was still getting the details iron'd out. Time for a new race date thread.

If I make the trip this April I am gunning for the china girl title! (as well as the E-bike title)
& I am damn sure not going to be late this time!

I am 85% on making the trip again. Just need a few guys to call me "chicken" or 'poser" & its ON!

[amberwolf]

@Thud: Poserchicken!

[Thud]

LOL!
the gloves are off now!
(now to slip on the raceing gauntlets.....I am off to cycle my stored batteries)

Amberwolf, Never figured you for a trouble maker!

[amberwolf]

Hey, well, I can't make it, and me and my bike wouldn't be allowed on the track anyway, so I gotta "encourage" those that will be and even stand a chance of winning.

[Alan B]

It is an awful long way for Thud to travel. Probably not a worthwhile trip for him.

Baaaq! Bah-gock! Baaaaaaaaq!


(That was google translate for calling you a chicken in a language that a chicken like you can understand.)




*Just kidding of course Thud, I think you're amazing for making it out, and I know you're a badass rider and nobodys chicken.

[Farfle]

Will be planning on hitting this race for sure . Assuming that I don't burn down this poor motor with the controller I got.

[SoSauty]

Com-on Todd,

I'll be racing my old commuter bike, 20Amp no-name controller, nearly dead 37V Lith-mg batt, bald back tire, chewing gum stuck 'tween the knobbies on front, cute motor with wobbly bearings, square wheels from hitting potholes in the dark, and freewheel stuck in hi-gear Bet'cha can't lap me, com'on Bully bully bully

[SoSauty]

April 7th is coming up quick. Ed, Dan, Dave, Emanuel, Nicobie, and any interested racers, don't forget the new entry level class. Lo-power e-bikes get to run with small 4strokes. Just about any bike running under 2K power is suited:

This class is for:
- novices wanting to run their street bikes,
- racers wanting to race a 2nd bike,
- innovators piloting concepts in a lo-power environment,
- those on a tight budget,
- competitors that love the challenge of going fast with limited power,
- those of us old/wise enough to shy away from insanely highspeed crashes.

Volts X Amps = Power(K) Generally battery volts X controller amps
48V X 40A = 1920watts or 1.92K
60V X 30A = 1800watts or 1.8K
Lipo (nominal)
44.4V X 40A = 1776watts/1.8K
66.6V X 30A = 1998watts/1.99K
88.8V X 20A = 1776watts/1.8K

Bring your e-bike or bring a 2nd and try a run, you'll get hooked on the cheapest quality racing sport on earth

[Thud]

We are coming full circle.

SAFE MIGHT HAVE TO SHUT UP

Finally !!!
edit out redundant quote from above
Not precisely a 1000 Watt input limited class but I'm happy that the regular folks get to play now.
Geez... at this rate I might actually get accepted back in the ebike world.

(we will see)

----------------------------

Since I would be using near road racing sized tires (24" x 3") I would likely run into troubles with the tire rules if I won too easily, so in order to compensate I would stay in a self imposed 1000 Watt input limit which should make it very sporting. My corner speeds will probably be the fastest of any bike on the track.

People should expect top speeds of at least 40 mph. (50 mph if you push these limits to the max)

Safe, You were never out if the "e-bike world" This is just one forum....(of the many you've been banned from) I am confused as to why you feel ostracized by the e-bike comunity in whole?

You must feel increadbly wronged by the membership here to spawn this thread:
http://www.ebikehub.com/forum/viewtopic ... 5066875213
My suggestion to correct misinformation....linK the offending post & give your rebutle facts. Clear & consice will read much better then the narcissistic chaff & political slants you tend to add. (or better yet, Get over it.....its been how many years?)

That said,
Everyone is welcome at the races. The more the merrier!

Your tires are perfectly leagle...your confidence is inspiring. let the fat jokes fly.
Hope to see you at a race someday.
Not anonomously.

My bicycle is on Pirelli's now. HOLY CHIT! This makes the biggest difference in handling I've ever experienced from a single change.

The steering wildness of the machine is gone now, it feels down right tame to ride. No more wander, no more bucking and shuttering in corners, no more chattering under heavy braking, just smooth delightful stickiness and effortless corner transitions. After ripping for long enough that a set of hookworms would be destroyed, the tires look new still! Hardly even scuffed after an hour of ripping hard!

Unfortunately.... the pedals hit the ground really badly if they aren't carefully clocked for each impending corner entry, which I don't really see being safe for road racing.


I'm building an all new frame though... Full suspension this time, setup with 1" of sag front and rear, and 1" of travel after the sag, so 2" total travel front and rear. Needle bearing pivots and linkage. All batteries and motor tucked into the front triangle. And for road racing, I only need about 1/5th the power of my current bike, so a smaller drivetrain as well.
