Greetings to all
Im a new user from India and this is my first post after joining the forum. but ive been a reader of the forum for many years .
so I started building this electric off-road freeride type bike a couple of weeks ago
decided to build from scratch and design and make the frame.
my prior experience in making an e-bike was what I did for my son couple of months back with a 350W motor and a custom frame built from mild steel angle bars
so this time I decided to make the bike a little more powerful ( which can do wheelies) and started buying the required components. I was kind of hooked on to RC motor mid drives thanks to builds by Tom Ttraton and Patric and Shumaker and also to the sticky index and blogs by a fellow submariner spinning magnets
I went on a buying spree and ordered a sensored RC outrunner by flipsky - 6374 and a VESC 4.12 controller which is yet to arrive . but now im really in a dilemma if this would suffice the requirement of doing effortless wheelies on the bike.
Im thinking of a 12 S Sensored set up with the vesc 4.2 controller which is capable of giving 50 amps continuous and very high burst current(claims > 200 amps )
as for the drive mechanism since the motor is a 190kv ill be using a reduction of 1:18 with two belt reduction drives of 4 each and a chain final reduction of 2.
total estimated weight of my bike will be less than 40 kg and my own weight is 72 kg. ive already built the frame and the main frame without the zoom shock absorbers weigh 7 kg.
It would be great if anyone in the forum can comment of the flipsky motor and vesc 4.12 controller would live up to the expectation of doing wheelies. if the motor and controller are not fit for the task then ill keep aside the plan for making a reduction gearbox by CNC milling and look for other motor oiptions such as a QS V3 motor being run as a mid drive.
kindly advice
PS: I am desperately trying to figure out how to ass pictures but somehow its not working the way i read it in the forum. im unable to drag and drop and also unable to add files. it says : It was not possible to determine the dimensions of the image. Please verify that the URL you entered is correct.
maybe the size is big
