E-racer
1 kW
The best the bike has done was 62 mph. Realistically it does 40 mph without completely destroying battery life. The 900 watt bulk charger works great and I am balancing using a RC charger. The $230 Turnigy battery pack has last 1,500 miles which is absolutely astonishing to me.

NEXT BIKE! This is an early design concept teaser pic. The frame will be possible thanks to Cartesian CNC profiling and bending http://www.cartesiantube.com/
The beginning
pickup tubes
pickup tube in swing arm tube with hardened shaft
assembly
Rear dropout section from the inside
motor mounts and Torlon chain tensioner
assembly
fully detailed left dropout assembly 1/4" 7075 plate
fully detailed right dropout assembly 1/4" 7075 plate
view of the right side with frame
2
motor in its place
2005 Kona Stinky
Stock 80-100 from Leader Hobbies with typical loose windings
Stock Windings Removed
Rewound 80-100 12 turns delta, 14gauge wire, 88kv
Rear View of Rewind this motors will be run with no skirt bearing.
Nuvinci Developer Kit and Surly Large Marge Rim
Wheel with Spokes! This is the first wheel I've ever laced, fun job! I recommend everyone do their own wheels.
Wheel Tire Package: Maxxis Hookworm 2.5 26"
Drive Train Layout from the bottom view.
Going to make a swing arm from 5"x2" 0.125" wall aluminum.
I am approaching my design freeze within the next 2 weeks. Unfortunately I had to wait until the nuvinci dev kit got here to make measurements for the custom dropouts/NV servo mount.
The batteries will be 12s Turnigy li-po mounted in the swing arm tubes. Balancing/monitoring will be done by 2 resistor modded cell medics. The controller is a Kelly kbl48201 100/200amp I will be running Burtie's linear optical sensors.
There will be no pedals. In Georgia mopeds/scooters don't require pedals or registration :-D but are completely street legal any where except highways.
