recumpence said:Depending on how well this thing runs, I may price it at $10K. I added it up and the total for just the materials and outsource labor is $8,670 (retail).
recumpence said:Oh, I had a conversation with Bob from Astro today. He is building me some very wild motors for this trike. He has been calling me repeatedly getting excited about his findings. He tested one of my motors today all the way up to 30,000RPM! He said his controller shut down, but the motor survived! sweet! He said he is winding the motors (3220s) 4 turn Delta. That should put them at about 14,000 RPM under load. The primary chain is efficient up to 15,000 RPM. So, that should be ideal. The previous trikes were 6 turn Deltas. So, this trike should be 40% more powerful if geared for the same top speed.

Good to hear Matt. Do you think he will be willing to lift the 12000 rpm limit on other motors, say the two I am ordering?

Love those caliper, I bit it can stop this bad ass tadpole in a split.
Can't wait to see the burn outs, maybe a front wheel lockdown with Javex Bleach and sand under the rear tire smoke show :wink:
A fire extinguisher nearby just in case the rear tire catches on fire

Looks completely sick, what a build!
I knew deep down you already thought about this...recumpence said:Twin discs will have far less load than the one on the BMX bike.
The calipers never got hot on that bike, anyway.
