Hi everyone! As my parts are going to start arriving this week Im getting in early with my build-log. This bike has been inspired by gwhy's talk about e-trials and betarambo's current Oset build (still waiting on your write up mate!). While this bike wont be strictly a trials bike, it will be for scrambling/trials/hills and technical riding (maybe skate park too). Its going to be starting life as a 48v system but when a bit of cutting and welding is done it should be running 72v and will be an ongoing development as I see where the smoking point of this motor is.
In the beginning it will be running a 24 inch front wheel with a 3 inch tire. the rear (until I get the swing arm sorted) is a Pirelli scorpion 90/100 16" which should be a snug fit on the wide rear Oset rim.
Parts on their way:
Oset 20" 48v
DNM Downhill Forks
24inch Halo SAS Dirt jump wheel
24"x3" Duro Wildlife tire
Pirelli Scorpion 16 inch rear tyre
4x48v Earthx lithium batteries (to be replaced by a 72v 40ah lifpo)
This will be the temporary setup while I develop it more.
I get the feeling the disproportionate sizing of the wheels and the longer front end will give it the 'Huck Bike' look that some of the older downhill riders on here may recognise =)
To be considered:
72v Kelly programmable controller (BL or BLDC is dependant on motor choice)
possibly a TC100 in the rear laced to a 24" downhill rim. would like to keep it mid drive for weight distribution so maybe an Turnigy 150cc will find its way in there (open to suggestions)
Frame gussets
New rear sprocket carrier from Oset (as available)
Stay tuned for more as the parts roll in. Cant wait to get started!
If you have any suggestions or criticisms, feel free, just keep it friendly.
