    $30 Shipped Lightly Used Curtis-Albright DC Line Contactor, 60v 100Amp

    Selling a used DC Line contactor. The label is worn off just from storage for quite a few years, but it worked perfectly fine when it was taken off of an electric bike build. I will sell this for $30 shipped to the lower 48 states. Let me know if you have any questions! Thanks, Daniel

    Belt Driven Etek Trike

    Oh yea, I've seen her pull about 7000 watts under full acceleration. :twisted: The motor is rated for 4500 watts continuous and 11000 watts peak. She's a beast!

    Belt Driven Etek Trike

    Hey guys, sorry for the late response! My notifications are messed up and I didn't realize that you all have been posting. I'm not sure how the power of this thing compares to those two motors. Are you all talking about the 80-100 Turnigy motors? The biggest benefit of this motor is the...

    Belt Driven Etek Trike

    Sorry for not responding for a few days! I'm running a 15t to an 80t, 8mm htd pitch belt drive. I don't have the exact specs on the motor, but based on the top speed and gearing, I think it is around 60rpm/volt. It has a maximum RPM of about 2600 rpms I believe. The motor actually has beastly...

    Belt Driven Etek Trike

    Thanks Bubba! I think it is the one I texted you about a little while back. Let's meet up sometime so you can ride this thing! Also, we can definitely make a little trip up to Fletcher sometime. I go all of the time. The shop is lookin' nice! Grindz, I like your tow setup! My center of...

    Belt Driven Etek Trike

    I get the most confused and funniest looks from people when I'm towing my bike down the road! I have the max amperage on the controller set to 200amps right now so she has great power. Her acceleration is quick and very smooth off the line. The torque is incredible and I love being able to...

    Belt Driven Etek Trike

    The pulleys are for 8mm HTD belts. It's not quite a circular valley profile. The Etek motor with the Sevcon Millipak controller gives the option of running regenerative braking and I have mine set to regenerate to 30% of it's capability so that I can still somewhat roll up to a stop without...

    Fan cooled 3220s are finally here!

    Those motors look amazing. We can't wait to attempt to push them to their limits!

    Belt Driven Etek Trike

    Hey guys, It's been a long time since I've posted on here and I've since been through a few electric bikes and now I'm onto a trike. I just wanted to post this on here to show everybody what I've been having fun riding around recently! This project started about 2 years ago when I acquired a...

    General E-musings.............

    These are all great points! I definitely agree with all of you. My setup now is a rigid Trek 830 with 25ah and Matt's drive with a 3210. This bike is very efficient. I can see 60+ miles on a charge because I pedal between 21 and 25mph with the road crankset I put on it. That being said...

    I guess we've been holding out long enough...

    Thanks for the segue, veloman. Tommy called me today to express his concern of the underpower. They are starting to get into the mountains of NC and experiencing this load for the first time. These mountains aren't as bad as what they'll be getting into either. Their efficiency dropped down...

    I guess we've been holding out long enough...

    I'm not sure on the efficiency of the trike on just battery power, but I assume it's around the 60ish wh / mile, maybe more. That motor is working really well and has plenty of power. They'll definitely have to turn up the amperage when they get to the mountains though. On the first (and...

    Tommy and Jesse Do America (trip thread)

    Hey guys, I'm starting this thread to allow you guys to contact the riders if you are interested in meeting with them or if they potentially need to find some help and a lucky ES member might be of some great service. They won't be updating this thread much, as they'll be updating their...

    I guess we've been holding out long enough...

    Every morning they wake up, they get in an insane thumb wrestling match to determine who steers! There's normally a lot of blood and innocent bystanders normally have to be rushed to the hospital as well. I think that they will just alternate steering as each of them has the desire. Since...

    I guess we've been holding out long enough...

    Hey guys, Sorry it's been so long since a post, but we have been running around like some leaf cutter ants trying to get this thing put together. I just wanted to let you guys know that it's finally happening. Christian and I are sitting in "The first wind powered brew pub in America" (must...

    Suspension pivot question for the experienced metal fab guys

    I've wondered this for a while, but how did you wind up in Costa Rica? I studied in San Jose for a month and I really love the country. I'm assuming that you're from the US? Just looking for tips on how to end up in a great place like that! :D Daniel

    I guess we've been holding out long enough...

    Sorry, but I just got a chance to measure that for you yesterday. We have them seats at 23" apart on center. That gives us more than enough shoulder room. It could probably be .5" to an 1" narrower and be almost, or maybe even just as comfortable. Daniel

    I guess we've been holding out long enough...

    We definitely do appreciate all advice and help. We have only really been working on the mechanical aspect of the trike so far, and have put a lot of thought into the solar panel as well. We're going to try to make it tilt down towards the left a little to get the most direct sunlight in the...

    I guess we've been holding out long enough...

    Sorry I didn't respond to your post, Matt! I won't be one of the riders of the trike when it goes across the country. Tommy is trying to talk me into riding my Trek 830 across though... Can't decide. We'll be sure to keep posting up pics as we make more progress though! By the way, I...

    I guess we've been holding out long enough...

    That does look good! That really smooths the flow of the trike. We wanted to use the existing tubes on the seat to maintain adjustability, but if we could figure out a way to rig it up like that and keep it adjustable, we just might have to. Maybe on the next tandem - RC powered one...

    I guess we've been holding out long enough...

    It has 20" wheels all around. It weighs in at around 83 lbs. It's about 53" wide, 80" from the front of front wheel to rear of back wheel, and about 93" from the rear of the back wheel to the tip of the boom. It's pretty big and long! We have been pedaling it around and have had some traction...
