    friction drive ebike r/c motor

    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

    friction drive ebike r/c motor

    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...

    friction drive ebike r/c motor

    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...

    50 mph friction drive? Possible or just impractical

    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

    50 mph friction drive? Possible or just impractical

    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...

    50 mph friction drive? Possible or just impractical

    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...

    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...

    Friction drive idea discussion

    SOLCAR and Amberwolf ...You are probably right ...But If I had all the parts just laying around I would have to give it a try just to see if it would work ... I think the Sheaves would work with the right tire tread design ...a wider squared off tread so there is more rubber where the TWO...

    Friction drive idea discussion

    Hey guys ... As long as we are throwing out ideas .. How about this ... A snowmobile primary clutch running on the sides of the tire like a belt would normally... mounted on a slide mount like EV Todds , but spring loaded to the tire , so it can move in and out as the revs very ... (Google...

    Friction drive idea discussion

    I was told to keep it simple :) Coming up on 800 miles... Not running friction tape, and no noticeable extra tire wear.. Spinner !! Same 280KV motor going strong

    Williamson Design

    Sk8.. You do have + caster (trail) , offset would slow the steering a bit , but also add wheel flop you don't need on this bike .. Maybe triangulate the seat - chain stay area with out changing the concept of design much.... Your bike looks great ... Bill

    Yes... the lower rpm motor , and larger can is best for off the can drive ... I'm with Kepler on the 6374-168KV motor... I don't have one , but thinking of getting it for when my 280 gives out ... It's in stock !!!! Bill

    Spuzzete... It depends pretty much on how you plan on running your friction drive as to what motor you use .. Kepler , and Adrian , and myself run the motor can on the tire ... EvTodd , and spinningmagnets use a reduction 1" or 1.25" roller on the tire , so maybe a higher RPM motor ... I am...

    Spuzzete! - It's light - Small and "tidy" - Easy to install - Few moving parts involved = less mechanical troubles (potentially) Yup ... It,s all of that , and your bike is still a bike .. And pretty stealth also... Take a look at Kepler's , Adrian's , EvTodd's, and Spinningmagnets...
