Working on a prototype for my company. Its an ATV tired ebike. We have been building small, FAST, electric vehicles for 2 years now, but this will be the first 2 wheeled. Defiantly new to the bike world, but well experienced with Motorcycles, ATV's and the small Electric Vehicles. We have a full shop with several CNC machines, Mill, Lathe, plasma, etc.
This bike will be similar to a Motocross bike (Suzuki, Yamaha, Honda, etc) but use ATV tires and an electric motor (And still have pedals, although mostly for legal compliance as a bicycle). Im starting the prototype using a 1000 Watt Hub motor, mounted just behind the seat, but we have a decent budget for this project so will probably try a few different motors till we have the power and reliability we would like.
Here is my start in autocad. Still a lot of this drawing isnt the way it will be, and a few items arent to scale, but its the basic idea.
Any input is appreciated.
