Maybe I'll ride it a bit today with the altermotor, i'll try to take a vid!
I need to fit front brakes! I want to drift!
Not much infos on this motor on the forum, but it seems that it has 2x wider gears than the MAC motors, produce really good torque, but is slower. So I will just pump up the voltage :) I'm thinking 72v 8ah that would be 240$ in cells (delivered) in 3c li-mn .
Would need to upgrade my controller also, 63v caps inside...

hello all, it's been a long time since last update, and unfortunately I did not make much progression!
A good thing is that now I have some cash to spend on builds, I follow a partnership learning curse in mechanical engineering, and one month out of two I'm employee of Thales underwater systems, we work on winches for the usa navy choppers. This earns me 550€ per month and 50% of that will be dedicated to the build.
The bad is that I don't have holidays, and the new house doesn't have a garage yet...I only have free time during weekends, and the workshop is open when I'm at work


Now for the build : I just received a cohnchimotor (or whatever) 750w hubie kit, that I planed to use on a full susp bmx, but I forgot the idea when I grabbed the thing, witch is really really heavy. So I think this motor is going to be used on the trike :oops:
I still need to make the body panels, thinking of using good quality coroplast, fast, cheap, will look OK. Next would be fitting disc calipers for the front wheels.

I need a workshop !

... and a good plan it is. Driven on the left side I take it?

Cheers,
