Been a keen F1 follower since I was 12 years old watched it at all hours with my dad.... every year the rules change to make it "cheaper" and "slow" , every year the engineers claw back the speed they loose due to rule changes and make them as fast as the year before lol... it's ...

I run Turnigy CA120 have no extra cooling and Kelley controller, hasn't missed a beat..
very easy if you use the right controller and gearing...

I have extended a steel Isis works a treat, insert tube inside after cutting then weld it up.. Cool, could you post a pic of that? Might end up going that way and is your set up an off roader or more street pedal? Am going to run the KX gearbox as I already have it, we'll see how it goes. yes there...

my only question is why would you want to?

the point of a mid drive like the gng is, running it through the gears so you can change ratios on the fly to
suit the terrain/riding type your doing...

I don't see the point only negatives, aside from it being a back up if the mid drive fails...

I have extended a steel Isis works a treat, insert tube inside after cutting then weld it up.. re: how does the dog box shift.... fast! at any speed you should hit up tooman2 he's modded a ice gear box and fitted a Turning rc motor to it, there's video floating around of him whipping a ktm dirt bike...

screaming for a mid drive setup ...

Also ive read multiple places with RC motors on e bikes are pretty inefficient at acceleration. Meaning a 4kw RC motor in reality is just like a 1kw hub motor at acceleration. If your fine with this than fine go with RC. But RC motors in my opinion just aren't a good idea anymore. Please explore th...

try reading the non hub section of the forum plenty of information there and yes that motor has been used and many like it

make a sturdy jig, it's a must to keep things straight when welding
if you can afford it go with 4130 chromo...good luck

KiM

fantastic work you have done here matey, I been following the thread with great interest
I think now this is the best mid drive option available with your upgrades...

KiM

Perhaps you can take a "store bought" swing arm like the 50cc and just make extensions that bolt into the axle mounts that are there.

^^^^exactly what I would be considering

Thought i would add an update for our boi CHRiS...i have been handed the task of fiberglassing the seat and lower fairing pieces, i have a tad more glassing to do and a fair bit of sanding but, here's how shes coming along CHRiS--> IMG_20140228_180746.jpg Underside of seat pan is complete ended up w...

went from blowing highly modified 12 and 18fet Infineons that promised world performance wise, to a Kelly controller....... night and day difference, throttle control on the Kelly is amazingly good power deliver smooth and constant.. Will Never go back to cheap infineons for "rc motor" app...

Jesse, I'm sure if your allowed on track with your frock bike it will putt about nicely

I'm assuming that the jackshaft isn't going to stick that far out once you're done, right? Otherwise I'd be worried about hitting my heels off of it. I'm sure that will be trimmed flush with freewheel adapter where are you planning on putting the batteries?. like to know also...Not allot of room le...

yes send it back for paid warranty to Castle, done this to many times with CC160s

Same as with cars a current bike license will required to test drive any electric motorcycles and or scooters I presume CHRiS? And laps on the track with e-bikes...allowed? if so, flat track higher speed setup well have to be implemented I.e change a single sprocket....start duct tapping more batter...

if your set on a gear box, ThuD has upped plans for his two speed dog box
that can be built with basic tools...I have two of them one hooked to a Turnigy 80-100
the other on aTurnigy ca120 bloody fantastic!! do a search for 2 speed dog box

apologies for late reply Jay, 're: car..I can drive a stock automatic my right leg with a brace on my ankle is well strong enough to push accelerator and brake... I bought a Ford XLS one tonner has been lowered and xr6 front end fitted dual fuel too so cheap to run $50 worth of lpg me close 450km-> ...

is price a big issue?

I'm a incomplete paraplegic myself and am a fan of mid drive setups yrs they are harder to setup and more maintenance
but are hard to beat for off-road application.. have you checked cyclone kits out possibly gng

best of luck...
