As the Hub Motor Turns and the LiPo Fire Burns. New e Zip motor. 750 + 750 = 2 horses.
A super reliable perfect heavy hauler and hill climber.
The 26" Dual suspension with the 1,000W front hub motor Sunder sent on the back and a 750 watt gear reduction motor on the front. At 36V though the hub motor is only 750 watt or 1 horse. + 1 horse on the front = 2 horses.
But what about the new e Zip motor ?
The 36V - 1,000 watt motor as I will get it shipped to Wall Greens about a mile away. The seller did not return my message and am willing to bet is because business hours are over. I do not see why they wont ship to Wall Greens if Wall Greens is willing to let me pick it up there. If not a different pick up location is ok as I got a van and my heaters should be in tomorrow, It has been really cold lately.
The Currie e Zips new motor will be the 36V - 1,000W - 3,000 rpm Unite motor with the 89T - #25 sprocket. A 250W upgrade from the second e zip motor. It originally came with the 450 watt gear reduction motor. It was 24V and after a 36V upgrade burned it out up a hill and installed a 48V - 1,000W Unite MY1020 motor which was 750W and 2,250 rpm @ 36V. I ran it almost two years before taking that off and about two years after that it got the 750W gear reduction motor.
My post above shows 28 mph gearing on a 26" wheel @ 36V and 35 mph @ 45V. with that 36V - 1,000W - 3,000 rpm Unite motor I ordered- If the old 44 packs can't do the trick for 35 mph I will be looking at a large 20 Ah - new - 13P Lithium ion pack so the Currie will see 35 mph next year. You guys are right. I really don't need to go 40+ mph. At 53V it might even go 36 mph. That is close enough.
I looked at the 26" dual suspension a few hours ago and thought , I hate to get rid of the pedal chain as it is a way home if the motor fails with out pushing. In other words if one horse dies I can walk so no pedal chain is like having a bum leg riding one horse.( supposed to have knee replacement surgery 6 years ago) :lol: But two horses is a different story. They share the load and if one needs time out 20 miles from home the other will get me back. Also hills will be a piece a cake with two horses.
Check out the rear rack that will be re enforced with steel for heavy cargo. The chain drive and battery rack will even the weight distribution with the battery frame rack and will have dual cargo baskets also back and front. Gearing for the 1,000W hub motor at 48V I think is 28 mph. It should run about 23 or 24 mph @ 36V so will be gearing the 750W gear reduction motor the same so 1,500W total power output for around 24 mph. What a beast. :lol:
DA. You appreciate e zip bikes and are a stickler for proper gearing. If I manage to pull this off I would like to hear from you. It might even deserve a graph for power up hills. I will supply a video with a speedo, That would be a Christmas present with one of your graphs. like cream cheese frosting on a fresh warm home made spice cake. :lol:
It will be my main ride and will keep it in the van. I will install the 1,700 lumen light with its own 12V power pack for night riding.
Thanks.
