Re-winding a hubmotor

[XLR8]

I see there is a microswitch in one of the photos of the drop-outs. I am curious as to know what it is used for?

[Farfle]

Im so sorry guys, I took the bike for a run, and left my helmet can at the house .
Here's some stats from the ride:

MaxA: 229
MinV: 93.2
MaxS: 69.7 (CA wasn't reading speed correctly, it was still accelerating)
Wh/mile: 79.6
Miles traveled: 3.9

Nice! Sounds like a ripper!

Do you think you reached 69.7 or is the wheel size out of whack on the CA? Need video tomorrow.

definitely hit 69mph, not the wheelsize calibration, the CA will flicker between actual speed and an arbitrary nonsensical 56 mph, that's until it hits 70, then it goes to zero while the bike keeps accelerating.

Here's some pics of the bike after the ride.

You should be a "proud papa" Farfle.

Thats a badass machine, and you made it yourself. Nothing you can buy can match that level of satisfaction. Savor it my friend.

Damn dude, that thing is hauling ass then. We must have video, I demand it!

[Arlo1]

Yup you need video and dyno tests. I proved with my x5 I can spike what you see in my avitar but it was no faster then something with ~350 amp peaks!

[fechter]

Nice

What are the pedals for? I don't even see a chain.

Pedaling with no chain is more fun! It looks magically.

[Alan B]

Must be that new transparent chain.

[Andje]

chain officer? No! It's all magnets!

Outstanding work Farfle, definitely an ebike to be proud of. I take it that this one won't have a female pilot, because it will take some balls to ride.

Actually, if I can get her to ride it again I will, my cousin will be up to ride my friends 9c bike in the 1500w class, and my boss will be racing his hot-rod hx powered bullit cargo bike in the 1500w class aswell.

And sorry again, I cant get you guys a ride video till the 8" of snow we got last night melts off.

[liveforphysics]

You are a wise man. That girl can ride. (Maybe the first time I've ever said that when talking about a vehicle?)

I think her on that bike will have an extremely good chance of winning.

With that motor, I'd expect it to be a nice snowplow.

Hehe kind of what I was thinking. ill probably tune it waaaaaaaaaaaay down and race it in the 1500w class for giggles, and so that I can race my boss .

[stinkler]

Stupid snow!
Is that a re-purposed genesis arm?
Whats the curbweight on that beast?
What tubing did you use?
Bet its plush with that suspension setup.

I'm sure Danika can drive too, but couldn't manage 2 laps without crashing at Daytona. If it's just the power to weight advantage, I've got a couple of fearless sub 100 pounders in training already. I'm only a male chauvinist when it comes to golfing, hunting, and racing.

[Spicerack]

70mph?!!!!

I think I just made a mess in my pants.

Well done- that's awesome, although my wife will now officially hate you as I am going to announce to her that I need to make a double stator motor too (but probably not quite as awesome as yours!). Have lathe, mill and welder. Time to play!

[Thud]

John in cr say's:

What else is there?

[Farfle]

Finally got a break in the weather, and a chance to get the bike out on the "test track" for a first speed run on camera:

Its not up yet, uploading with the shops slow internet in 1080p...
