Hi everyone,
I have read a few threads here and you guys are great! Lots of nice projects too!
It's just a quick and dirty build for now on 2 crappy lead acids, but this is just temporary till my Lipo's get here. I badly need to add a second stage to the drive train as it's like its' in 5th gear all the time right now. I have gotten it up to 34.7mph but that's with it drawing a steady 90+ amps! The little Power Wheels battery sizzles when I do that!
It cruses at ~15 mph at ~10 amps though, and I have made a few 10 mile round trips to my local bike shop like this so far.
I have a lot to do to get it to where I am really happy with it though, the #1 thing being the gearing. I would like to have the ability to use the bike's stock rear gears to their full advantage for low speed/high torque for off roading and high speed/low torque for high road speeds.
It's been fun so far. Thanks for the inspiration guys!
Here are some quick pics of my project in it's first stage.
Great to meet you all!
Later,
Jay
