Hey Guys,

I wanted to let you know I am working on some VERY cool new products. I am not saying what they are, but I wanted you to know I have not been sitting around doing nothing. I have been using drive unit sale money to found research on a few phenomenal machined parts I will (hopefully) be offering up for sale in the next month or so.

Keep your eyes peeled!

A hint won't hurt anyone. I won't tell.

Hmm, well, these are upgrades focused on increased reliability of the drivetrain as well as efficiency reduced sound, smoothness of operation, light weight, and overall EV appeal. The machine work looks incredible. One of the upgrades will be lusted after by many, but may cost alot. I am working on prototyping of these upgrade assemblies right now.

Not quite that elaborate.

Gates belt drive? Shaft drive?

A simple, small enclosed reduction gearbox?

Does this mean my V.3 drive will be out of fashion when it's up and running in April? Whatever you're machining, I think I want it :wink:

It is a teleportation device cnc'd out of a solid block of aluminum 8 feet high x 3 feet wide x 3 feet deep. It will eliminate all need for cars, bikes, ebikes, etc. When installed on an ebike, it will take you to other dimensions.

Seriously... I saw the plans when I was allowed in the Matt cave.

Looking forward to what ever it is Matt. You have brought the hobby of making ebikes to the production level with your drives and throttles and I am sure this will be another revolution in ebiking.

motors with hall sensors would be high on my wish list.

Oh wow, I saw that yesterday! it was blue with "Police" written on the front!! I guess we will now have to refer to Matt as "Doctor ..... ummm doctor ... Who?" :mrgreen:

I'm anxious to see what you have come up with Matt! I'm sure I'm a long way off from affording most of you're creations, but some day soon I will own one of your fine drives! 8)

Well, the current Doctor *is* Matt Smith

I am now currious about thiss new stuf, too.

Almost 3 years and I've never broken a BMS or had one fail. It's quite simple...get extra batteries and don't use one. :mrgreen:

Special "sticky tires" to enable a terrifying 2second 0-60?

I do not think you are working on anything and are sitting around just teasing us and laughing!!!! Ok tell us damn it. Teeeelllll uuuussss!!!!!!!

I have owned everything you have ever made and has all worked really well. So what ever you are making I will take two!!!!

amberwolf · Mar 6, 2011

Really, it's a warp drive, cuz the trike wasn't fast enough last time.

fizzit · Mar 6, 2011

It's a regenerative fork that uses the energy from damping to charge the batteries!!!!!!! :mrgreen:

Or maybe a revolutionary RC outrunner motor drive system, where a low-kV brushless motor is in the center of the wheel, and the spokes connect to the can of the motor, which spins :idea:

Whiplash · Mar 7, 2011

Um, isn't that a Hub motor? LOL!

i will no doubt want at least one to add to my collection of "Shumaker CnC Pr0N" LoL

I have an appointment with the shop doing the prototype work on this new assembly tomorrow morning. I'm very excited about this new assembly however the prototype time and expense has been high. I will keep you guys posted as I have more information and possible photos to show though I think that's a couple weeks away.

So I am posting just so that when there is an update I will get a notification.
