mon-goose to MON-STER

Ken, I'd go option B, but only every second hole, or option A with slots 2/3rds that size at most

ah man thats only 15 holes.. lame. im thinking stagered spacing and leaving a decent bit of metal near each screw so i get 5 or 7 per screw

Had a commute to work on the monster and it was about 3°C my fingers were frozen at work 630am.. so tomorrow I'll try my old full finger fox gloves. I think they are from early 2000s or before. I some how got them from an old friend from high school. Should do the trick.
 
Nice picture from last nights ride at eagle on the hill. (only part of image is showing due to high res)

Nice pic man. 8)
I need to get some trail riding done on my bike. But I am too afraid of how week the bike is, so I am not willing to see how much the bike can handle before it breaks down.

thanks. I sent it to John K who i got the motor from and he approved. should be on his website thats being put up some time.
got new brakes for the rear, 160mm clarks.
so i have to weld a mount for it to the swing arm. maby on the tube above the lower chain stay.
while ive got the motor off and its rainging for the next week or so, ill drill the side plate and install the new thermostat.
maby get the temp sensor sorted. i think it was giving me an incerect reading, out by 20 or more degress when i tested it.
yeah so im thinking
36 or more 10mm holes around the gear side hub plate. for air cooling. and
open up the holes near the disc mount. ~ 200%

So what do you like more? the Scott 29er or your mon-goose build? I guess its a difficult question to answer, does the 29er handle bumps better because of the larger wheels thus making it a smoother ride?

Good question
The Scott rolls really nicely at high speed I can weave around over man hole covers and jump off gutters into traffic at high speed to. The Scott jumps better two due to being lighter. The monster blasts up hills and power wheelies over small jumps like a boss and feels to me more like a mini motor bike. I'll have to video what I mean. Its something unique where the back wheel tracks the undulating ground but power wheelies the front wheel in about 1 foot in the air. And landing rear wheel first with the power on to keep the front wheel up for a bit is fun to. And power sliding on grass doing 180s I can do on both but the mongoose is better for that. Off the line the mongoose is an animal . I dragged a 2 stroke rc car and I was about even, and beat an old 4 cylinder hatch back. Was chasing a 100cc scooter no problem.

(which code url/adress do you use ti embeded the youtube vid ?)

for the dimensions to put a discbrake and use a post mount for a 203/180or 160 you need to respect those dimensions : I git them from the DH team :
SolidWorks%20Edition%20d%27%C3%A9ducation%20-%20A%20titre%20%C3%A9ducatif%20uniquement%20-%20%5Bmodif%20-dans-%20bik_2013-02-10_11-00-48.jpg


78.2/51/39.8 mm : the key, next you have to check were the load of the torque would go as a force to your frame so it goes in the frame the way it resist the more but again not that much torque on the rear brake...

Having a look at this post again. Thanks dan that diagram is good.
I have drawn cutting lines and drill marks where it looks right compared to my Scott spark post mount. I checked my measurements against the diagram after and it all lines up so I'll get the angle grinder onto it and. Got a pull the motor apart to drill holes to.

Bloody oath Rick :)
I'm just at the park now carefully trying to trip the new thermostat. With all the holes and 10°C air it isn't tripping yet but I can feel the hot air pouring out the top of the motor. I want to know the thermostat will cut out so I'll drive through wet bark chips some more.

Edit

After wot with regen braking on off very frequently,
i got home and the thermostat turned off. The motor is very hot yo touch and its a bit concerning.
I mounted the thermostat to the rear of the stator where as before the 100°C one was st the top so the heat would get it quicker I guess. Having more sir flow through the stator might make a bigger difference to the stator plate temp and the windings temp. Hopefully tomorrow I'll make a start on the disc brake mount. I pretty much just have to cut , drill and weld it then attach the caliper and hope I get it positioned correctly. Unfortunately the new disc is warped slightly, but shouldn't be a big deal.

Those fillings should give your brew a nicer taste even if your stomach packs it in.

What is this air cooled direction? Are you going fans too?

Hope your enjoying the process.

Crystalyte supplements mate ;)
Nah I must confess the beer was placed in the shot to convey the mood. I had the beer on the BBQ when drilling.
No fans. Its all good. Have you felt your motor after hauling beer up the hill to your man cave? Might be a good idea to keep an eye on it although the lower speed and not too many amps of your setup might not be an issue unless you abuse the frock out of it like I have doing drifting and burnouts and wheelie take offs over and over... hence the thermostat. Pissed idiot proof :D
 
PenD, I really like your style :mrgreen: , home brew while modding/building your ebike. The only way to work on a hobby. If I get into this house I just put an offer for, I will be doing the same :p

Hey man is that SCA hard plastic case for this bike?

I actually had a weird thing happen on ebay - I payed for that $55 case and somehow the seller couldnt claim it. So am free to now go back to super cheap to get the cheaper plastic case I think you bought.

Wondering on what the internal dimensions of the one you got are. If it you say its good I'm gonna go get one this weekend.

Keep cool and thanks for all the help on my thread.
 
ok, i finally welded a disc mount on the swing arm, it took a bit of fidiling to get it straight etc. i gave myself enough room so i can move it with washers if need be. its prety close to factory position i think but the disc is warped. I treid to bend it straight and its better but still off. thats one thing that shits me about buying brakes online, they seem to be bent.
anyway i can stop from 55kph to 0 in about 10 metres now so thats cool.
photos to come.
 
That is cool about your increased stopping power. Disk brakes are a must on any bike that hits constant speeds over 35KH. Big disks at that. Any pics of your mod?

yeah. i was going to go to bed, but here you go..

its clarks cheap $55 160mm disc.
I got the disc hot on the test ride thrashing it to wear it in and make sure the weld would hold.
all good :)
 
its "builders plate", usefull stuff. hose clamps are a bit shit imo but i have 2 big ones on the other side.

the weld look a bit ugly with no paint and the torque arms are raw steel, so i should pull it apart and paint it all now that it works. but i still need to do a bit of wireing to the little right thumb switch board and install the horn.
(wattage level 3 position switch, on / off, horn) hi/low beam is connected and working for 12 or 24 watt led :)
 
Today there was a break in the rain with blue skyes so I took the monster to the city skate park. Its pretty big with stairs and 2 sections , 2 has a "fun box" in the middle. I just find a pic hey..
Anyway I hit coping with cranks and chain ring.The had a big stack launching out of a steeper than 45° bank, twisted the bars. Scraped both shins allong the way. I think my helmet actually saved me to. Might no do that again although it was fun. Too much power for a small area and heavy bike on sharp kickers was a bit rediculous.
Had to bend back chain ring and adjust bar back to straight. The kids there loved it and wanted me to do a back flip. (Yeah right) anyway I am really interested in a 1kw friction drive bmx I think it would be awesome for a skate park.

LOL, Hows the brake holding up? need a bash guard on the crank now, stunt pegs and a gyro for them bar spins at the skate park. EFreestyling

:D

A bash guard would be nice. Bloody chain coming off is giving me the shits. A solid chain guide may be worthwhile to.
The brake is choice. Totally stopped me from running over "gromets" today.
I don't think a gyro would have helped me though.
The big stack would have made good video I think.
