Hey guys! I've started messing around with SolidWorks again, and while home sick from work I bashed out a rough draft of a drive unit designed to work with the Turnigy C80100 "melon" motor. It uses two internal jackshafts to achieve a 6:1 reduction internally, and then as of now I have it finishing with a 30t sprocket for #25 chain; pairing it with a 60t sprocket attached to the rear wheel would give you 12:1 reduction (and thus a top speed of about 50mph on a 26" bike). The gears and sprockets are all straight off McMaster, and the side plates would be custom machined (with 4.875" standoffs on the corners to hold it all together). I'd love to get feedback and user thoughts on efficiency, ease of assembly, and anything else you guys can think of!
