It sounds like I might be able to Hack the programing part but keep that on the DL
I will let you know how it goes and for that matter I will think about getting a programer one day because if this controler is any good I will use it for more projects.!

Over 60 hours so far still have to take a mold off the tank. I bondo'ed in the gas cap for a smooth finish and got it ready with PVA mold release and layed a few coats of clear gelcoat on it once Im back from ottowa I will finish that mold and figure out how to proceed with the rest of the pannels.... I realy wished I had of vacume baged the rest....

That is looking really good... you will have a fantastic bike when done.

When did you put wings on it?

[emotofreak]

I have a buddy with more than a dozen of these things and a ton of parts if anyone is interested. Located in the Bay Area, CA.

I designed a push button to transformed the velomobile cover to a paraglider wing type and the hub motor to drive a 3 bladed prop (star delta mode to optimize take off power), not finished yet, but for now my wings is BC Ferries Fleet:wink:

[Arlo1]

Zenon. I want to build a recumbrent like yours as well. I need another look at your stearing!

[beast775]

looking wicked sick! looks fast already .

[zenon]

Zenon. I want to build a recumbrent like yours as well. I need another look at your stearing!

When I get the time I will create a trike build tread since Etrike is becoming one of ES popular addition to the fleet. Poeple go nuts around here when I ride it. When the Canuck won again's Nashville I went to downtown Vancouver with the trike and the with Canuck flag on the pole crowd went nuts as I pass by Grandville and Robson .I should have video taped it. It's a classic reaction from the crowd seeing an Etrike. I'm still pump about it.



Anyway I want to see your setup go soon

[Arlo1]

Also, Arlo said he would do a critical mass SOON.

[Arlo1]

I already make enough from my buisness but i want to have my cake and eat it too!!! So untill i build and buy some more electric stuff no critical mass no mater what it meens!

[Arlo1]

very interested to hear how the sevcon goes for you mate, I have looked at the owners manual for the gen4's and it looks really in depth but offers an amazing amount of options. I only want to run a hxt on one so my needs are not so severe with 'only' 10kw on tap, but it would be nice to trust that the controller is no longer the weakest link. Did you order direct or through electric motorsport?

Cheers

[Arlo1]

As I work on this I also got set up with e-crazy man for some kits to run this motor I am so excited! I layed up the tank before I got swamped with work this week.
I should be able to start making some more progress soon!

[Arlo1]

making progress!

That bike has a nice sound I think bikers would buy an ev if it sounded like that and had a clutch so they can rev the motor. For many bikers the main draw of motorcycles seems to be the clothes and randomly revving the motor
