Cajun It looked like it would reach in your picture .. to bad , I hope you get it figured out.. that should be a fun ride .. There is a place for friction drive in ebikes for sure ... Just keep it simple :) ... Bill

Cajunjay How about flipping the mount to the inside , or front side of the seat post for starters?? ... Bill

I rode this bike many enjoyable miles ... Then I put the 40cc two stroke on it , friction drive ,and found it harder to ride when not pedeling... Some people can ride these no hands ... Google Crusebike if you want more info... Bill

DAUNTLESS... Just a picture to show the HILL HELPER as it is now ... Lighter,and less complex.. I'm running off the can now ,and it's working fine.... Thanks for the attention in the first posts.. Bill

Willywats ... I am using the HK 100-120A DLUK ESC , works fine at 18-20 volts ... Thier is a 160A , or maybe it's 180A... They are very easy to program, and the price isn't bad... Hope your up and running... Bill

Willy ... Sounds like the motor is out of sync ... have you used the card to sync yet ? Could help if you ran on a roller I guess... It would have more low end toque & run at higher rpm, RC's like that ... Also a little slip on the tire when powering up is not all bad...You can loose a lot of...

Willy...We need A little more info ... You say it doesn't push you .. Just what does it do , what kind of noise do you hear.. ? is it slipping on the tire ? .. It's a good idea to peddle to about 8 mph before using the motor... Should program the ESC.... I'm useing a 6364 280 kv set up kind...

Nice going Rassy... That's one fine vehicle ... How many miles on it now ??

Just a couple of pic of my bikes ... A Rans long W/B with Aotema hub motor , 36 volt ... 50 watt controller .. Nice ride, tops out about 19 mph... Bacchetta Gyro 20... R/C 63-64-280 motor, FRICTION DRIVE ... 18 volt running on the can , Astro Flight servo tester, TGY Del 100A...

Dauntless... The housing is fine so far, but keep in mind it's 18 volts only , and no friction tap on the can so works like a slip clutch... up to speed no noticeable slipping... Ya!! this old man doesn't ride in the rain :) Bill

Big 10-4 on the above ... Def215... can you take more pix of your F/D drive, and tell what it is ... Does the roller free wheel, or come off the tire when coasting ? looks pretty stealth ... Like EV Todd , Kepler ,Adrian, and Spinner ... This picture was my first drive with one way roller...

DesignerDan Hey there ... I believe 50 mph F/D is very possible ... My HILLHELPER goes 28 mph on just 18 volts , 63 64 280 motor on my RECUMBENT.. I run on the can without friction tap ( no tire shredding ).. I'm sure there is some slippage on acceleration, and believe that's a good thing for...

Solcar.. Anything new on your drive ? Ya know just a TWO speed would be great to start with to see how it works.... Bill

TO Dauntless ... FLEX ??? I guess I don't really understand your post .. There is no flexing in any way ... If you go to my HILL HELPER thread on page 5 in one of the videos you can see how this last design works I think ... Thanks for the reply Bill I said SPINNER in my post...
