Do you have a link for the friction roller shaft. I might do one of these just for the portability.

Glad you are having fun! Once you go with RC motors, you never go back.

Indeed. It's funny how R/C motors are just oh supposedly so much worse than hub motors, but then it seems like everyone who has gone the R/C motor route never goes back. I know I'm not. I wonder if that says something...

recumpence said:Hey Todd,
You can check to see if your controller is seeing full throttle by looking for the LED on the controller board to light up. If it lights at full throttle, you are fine.
As for kill switch, you can use a large contactor. For me, I just make sure the battery leads are within reach to pull the plug if I need to. I have had to do that once.
Lastly, yes, the guy who bought the PK has a 50+ mph friction drive recumbent.

Storm said:Super clean! but how did you mount the setup to your bike? your picture doesn't really show it.
Storm said:So I see, mounted by a piece of angle, NICE Now if only the rollers were available.....
Matt, don't suppose you could persuade some pics of that out of him? Was it a bike or a trike?recumpence said:Lastly, yes, the guy who bought the PK has a 50+ mph friction drive recumbent.

The final version will be hidden by my panniers (with the batteries mounted low inside them) so I thought I better get a picture before there's nothing to see.
