    front suspension forks w/front wheel motor

    I am going to do some more research regarding geared motors and Clyte motors with respect to torque, efficincy and speed under heavy load conditions and start a new thread addressing these areas specifically. As for the for the front forks I am thinking I will either need either motorcycle...

    front suspension forks w/front wheel motor

    Wow, I'm getting allot of great information here. A geared motor for hill climbing that would freewheel when not in use is a really interesting idea. It would really help in conserving energy too. Does anyone know what the beefiest geared motor on the market is?

    front suspension forks w/front wheel motor

    You rate your pack at 5.2ah which would be 2.6 per battery. The web info I got on the Milwaukee batteries show them at 3.0ah. Help me out here, is it 2.6 or 3.0? Thanks

    front suspension forks w/front wheel motor

    . Thanks for the input. That is very interesting. The results from fiddling around with the simulator does seem to support your idea. The efficiency gets better and the watts go down. The only draw back is the lower thrust. As long as the the thrust doesn't get to low to pull the payload up a...

    front suspension forks w/front wheel motor

    Great info! Here is my conundrum. I want to have the capability to climb steep terrain at a slow speed like 5mph with the highest motor efficiency possible in order not to excessively over heat the motors while still retaining the ability to travel over level ground at about 20-25mph. Finding...

    Bomber forks.

    I've never used the nuvinci but I have a Shimano Nexus 7-speed hub and I love it. They now make a 8speed hub too.

    front suspension forks w/front wheel motor

    You can e-mail Kenny at Clyte but hear is the info I got from him. He said he will custom make motors up to a 5316 but there is a minimum order of ten motors. I will order the minimum order and keep four or five of them and probably sell the extras. I'm a wrench turner and fabricator but not...

    front suspension forks w/front wheel motor

    Granted it will be heavier than a mountain bike but it will be much lighter than a gas powered dirt bike. With two wheel drive and big knobby tires it should be able to climb much steeper grades than a dirt bike and at much slower speeds. I plan on using a 72volt 40ah lipo battery pack. I may...

    front suspension forks w/front wheel motor

    Help! I plan on putting together a off road bike using dual X-lyte 5 series motors. The bike will be used to traverse steep mountain terrain. I have many questions regarding this endeavor. One big question is using front suspension with the big crystalyte motors. I have been reading that the...
