There is hope finally for the 60v gng owners.
As most of you know, the biggest difference between GNG's 48v and 60v versions of this kit, is the primary reduction upgraded to a chain instead of the belt. And the chain upgrade is an improvement over the belt version of the 48v, but it remains problematic. Primarily being extremely loud. Why many people have attempted various modifications, the most popular one is the #25 chain upgrade, which provides somewhat of a quieter ride than the stock gng #219.
Where the 48v version of the motor comes equipped with a shaft that has the small belt pulley machined right into it. The 60v version comes with a very short shaft, with 2 flats and uses a nut to lock in place the sprocket.
The restricted amount of the shaft that extends out of the motor, the 8mm flat shaft diameter and the lip that is machined on the shaft, all contributed to significantly reduce the possible upgrades or modifications that can actually fit.
LR might just have solved this problem once again. A while ago, LR sent me a prototype upgrade part he made for the gng 650w specifically. It is a screw on small driver pulley for his "primary belt upgrade" for the gng kit. it screws right on the thread used for the nut that normally locks the sprocket and it sits on the lip that is machined on the shaft. The counter rotation of the motor to the thread keep it in place. Making a primary belt upgrade for the 60v kit, literally a bolt on.
He sent it to me quite a few weeks ago to test it out, and see if it survives my stress test at 4kw. But i've been stuck with major house renovations and moving this last month or 2. But tomorrow I'm going to be removing my 48v motor and installing my 60v with the new pulley bolt on upgrade. I'll post some pictures and results of my tests.
