    20kw continuous motor enough for small 2000lb 40-45mph car ?

    i doubt the the golden motor one would have enough torque to accelerate your car to the speed you require in a respectable amount of time.. youll take off from one set of traffic lights and only get to your 40mph by the next set, while every driver behind you is tearing their hair out screaming...

    Giant DH Comp Drop Out adapters and conversion

    cheers for the hints Wayne, i think my chain is one of them 1 use pin chains and i didn't have a new pin for it so i dismantled the rear derailleur which helped a bit but i still ended up having to get the Dremel out and grinding down the offending part a bit, but its all together and going now...

    Giant DH Comp Drop Out adapters and conversion

    Ive started to attach the dropouts to the frame, they look excellent but i am in need of some advice.. the rear derailleur is giving me some grief trying to get it on, its got the adjusting screw with a tab on one side but then the derailleur doesn't quite clear the part of the dropouts that...

    making a petition to change the law on electric bikes?

    the bikes would have to have ADR approved tires brakes and lighting which would add to the 'pulled out of a hat' 40kg weight of yours.. plus undergo some sort of safety crash test.. all could be done but its an expensive process for a company that may only sell a dozen bikes.. they might as well...

    Doc's Watercooled Hub motor project ( 5403)

    i like the new approach alot less weight and direct contact patch with the fluid and the stator center.. what about just pumping air through this new approach it will have great cooling benefits and no liquids or radiator needed so would be much lighter, you could add copper heatsinks between...

    Dr.Bass Steveo found 7s3p Module! Awesome Price!!

    it looks the opposite to me, it looks like 7 separate 3p strings so if i wanted a 21s1p battery which would be more ideal for an ebike i would have to flip every middle cell in each group of three then somehow figure out how to connect the nickel plate together.. not as bad of a mess as i...

    building ebikes for other people?

    i agree the cyclone kit isnt the most reliable kit there is but i dont know of any other that would handle hill climbing and good speed on the flats.. 35kms is a long time to be sitting on a bike so it would need a decent speed.. good point in getting him to build it himself, maby i just give...

    Aussie 200 Watt Limit Thread

    i think speed would be the best way to govern our ebikes, 40kmh for on road use, 20kmh for shared paths when other people are around/in front of you.. overtaking is done sensibly when its safe.. it wouldnt matter if the motor is doing all the work or if the cyclist is inputting power and the...

    Can you spot what's missing on my bike?

    so your going to upgrade to a motorcycle frame yeah?? i think the brakes, suspension, strength of frame/wheels/tyres, steering control, aerodynamics of the fairings and seating position all that surely would make up for the extra weight of having a motorcycle frame

    Giant DH Comp Drop Out adapters and conversion

    i dont have the skills or knowledge to do this but would it be possible to extend the dropouts 1 or 2 inches to make extended swingarms or would that put too much strain on the three bolts that are holding the dropouts onto the swingarm. thinking of for high power applications so no wheelies

    Dow-Kokam (NMC) vs. A123 (LiFePo4) comparative analysis...

    this is how i think i might join the cells, its a crappy paint drawing but i think its about right.. the black is a hard plastic that is the thickness of the cells the big hole is for the cell to sit the outside and center holes are for threaded rod the two holes for the tabs are for threaded...
