I found two of them at a good price, the spec of the 20:1 version seemed perfect for my application.
1) 20:1 PLE80 which is working very well on the current bike at ~4.6kW
2) 8:1 PLE80 which I am planning a build with next.
The 8:1 box is a single stage and an inch shorter than the other one which is two stage.
The output torque rating of the 8:1 box is not as high, but I am hopefull it will be good enough.
All that is required is the addition of a bearing to support the input shaft, and you are away.....
The only criticism I could have of these gearboxes (apart from the seriously high price for a new one) is that they are perhaps a bit heavy.
My advise............ GO FOR IT
gw,
I will measure the current draw for the 80-85 when it arrives
Cheers,
Burtie
