I had the opportunity and time to pay a visit to our friends at
Thunderstruck Motors today. Definitely like a kid in a candy store for me. Piles of lithium batteries, motors, controllers, and EV's of all shapes and sizes.
Roller was nice enough to take time out from his busy work to fix the recent flat tire on the Jackalope so I could take it for a spin. It now has a Nuvinci hub CVT which gives it stump-pulling torque in the low end and enough gearing to take it over 50mph! Way cool.
Notice how the swingarm pivot is lined up with the motor shaft, but the motor is mounted on the frame. Verrry smart!
