This is really the only way forward. Hurt people hurt people. Dont change your moral values due to brain dead people otherwise you become one. No justice can undo a injustice.

field weakening kills your efficiency... This is true but it only starts after you have reached the maximun motor speed you can achieve with battery voltage alone. Its just there for when you want to do a high speed run. Im doubtful anyone here spends more then 3-5% of their ebike ride time above w...

Can you switch over to 150v rated components? Running at max spec is unacceptable. Are you planning to build a version capable of running 24s LiPo? There was alot of discussion about doing this on the russian forum and they said if there was demand for it they would do it but it came back to whats ...

Thats what im here for. To find out whos keen like me. Hopefully 1.9million from perth haha Well, this thread reads like a call for others to get involved in a dealership business. You need to gauge the market for buyers, not business investors. Put up a simple poll or such,..but ask for only serio...

No need to preach to the converted. Hehe.. Sorry. I may have been getting carried away with the passion. If i were thinking of this, i would do my "due diligence" and make sure there was a viable market before i made a financial commitment. Im hearing you and believe there is this market ...

Correct, Whirlpool. The time of petrol bikes may be passing ,..but the pricing probably explains why some dealers are still reluctant to commit . They know their customer base, and will know what sales to expect at that pricing. People are greedy, they dont seem to understand that they have to buil...

Good luck Falco. I was hoping to try the Zero at the Electrikhana, but I didn't see it by the time I left at 10am. Was there one there? Greg Hi Greg, I missed it altogether due to work sorry. There was no bike there because nobody in perth wanted to be the dealer. I have not seen obe in the flesh b...

Id pay that for this bike. Having owned a good variety of superbikes i can tell you that the time of petrol bikes is passing. Gone are poor performance and range for 95%of people here.

Have you been following the Forums ?.... Hello Australia, We are happy to let you know that your long wait to ride a Zero is almost over. The 2014 lineup is, at this very moment, in transit from our factory in California and scheduled to arrive on your shores in March. This month Zero Motorcycles s...

Well if there's going to be a second dealer in Oz, one on the west coast makes sense :) I think they will sell pretty well here, but the distances are a bit of a downside. We have to ride a long way to get to the good road. Not the non-plural ;) I'm happy to help where I can. If you need passionate...

can't help with money but time I have, need a person for "sales" customer service answer phones etc experienced in that.. happy to help.. good luck... KiM Awesome KiM, Just what we need. . I think it's a great idea, but you should get in touch with Kevin Beale in Melbourne first. Australi...

Call out to all people of Perth, I want to get a zero motor cycle dealership set up in perth. The current industry players dont want to adapt so i believe a few people here are mad enought to help me pull it off. Lets do. If you are in perth and keen to get this off the ground then let me know. I ha...

BWAHAHAHA Sounds like she is wishing pain apon you..

I cant believe this complaint exists when almost all things ebike related come from asia. Sometime local shops are out of stock so its sent direct from supplier. Stop being bitter at someone who sold you some parts when your main issue to start with was your government was going to steal 50€ from yo...

Done.. i picked up that BW from ebay. 450 Can$ with shipping etc. .. spendy.. but should last a lifetime. 8) Anyone want to buy a cheap Polk for parts ? :P Nice! Id love a review once you recieve it. Audio is massively subjective so nice detailed one would be awesome. Im sure you you will wish you ...

I dont think anyone here measure there bikes performance in thrust. Most can only tell you how much power is going into the system.
With this in mind.. I would rate my H4060 like this
500w = mehhh
1500w = nice
2500w = well ok
4000w = heh heh
6000w = oh heck yeah
12000w = millennium falcon

Here's my batteries, ten in all. Just waiting for the BMS, couple more weeks. Then my favorite E-Wizard (Ilia) is going to beautifully wire them in 120v-18a configuration, I think? Still not decided on the controller, Lyon, Adapto or something else? I'll rely on Ilia for that too, he knows way more...

This is why i always wear a full face helmet. Nice work man taking the photos. That was not the happy smile i was expecting. Hope you recover soon

The only settings that you can really program in these controllers that change the bike is the current, both phase and battery. Increasing these will consume more power. If efficiency is what your after and your happy with how it performs then i would suggest leaving it as is. Are you using regen? Y...

Now this is a really rough sketch as all i had was a pen and paper and no drawing skills and im at work in a very remote place :oops: The idea being that there are a few rails up the side of the case that these torque arms slid on. These clamp to the swingarm. I say a few rails as it would be ideal ...

Ypedal wrote:Are caps like Lead vs Lithium ? .. can both of these be the came capacitance but be so radically different sizes ?

Im 99.99% sure that this is true. It all comes down to cost at the end of the day.

With 2x the power but spinning twice as fast it is more efficent?? Yes. It's more efficient, at that torque level , because the copper losses are the same and the iron losses are still a minor factor but in order to double the speed, the voltage has doubled. So, losses have gone up a relatively sma...
