Vector bike and frame owners.

Yep, V3 QS 4T 11kv. My plan is to be able to commute at 50-55mph. So this is why I went with the higher kv version. I didn't want to rely on the efficiency gouging field weakening (OVS) to hit speed. I am now in the research/design aspect of motor/controller cooling to sustain it. I'll post a video soon and you can see the amps. It was pulling about 110A constant down the straightaway while pinned. I have no plans to cruise at that speed haha.]

That is just freaking crazy cool! So what would you guess the 0-60 time is? I'm pretty sure I'm just about ready to buy the 205 in the 5T variety. My calculations say I should be able to hit 55 on 24s with a 17" combo although I might do a 18 rear and 19 or 21" front. 18" should hit 58mph. I really only want 45 mph but I don't want to have to get another motor anytime soon. Right now I'm maxed out at 38 hot off the charger and 37 at half pack.

So what are you thinking about doing to cool yours and how does it do just playing around at say a 30 mph average. Wish I could just be happy with what I have but heating up quick sucks with the MXUS motors even when keeping things low key.

0-60 no idea haha, I'll have to grab one of those apps that can measure that. It's fast to me, but I'm coming from a Crystalyte H4080 with a Mini-E. I'm running the QS with the Max-E so it has soooo much more available torque. I have to lean forward from about 25mph or less to keep the wheel front down.

My plans for cooling are intake holes around the axle brake side, perimeter slots on chain side and internal blades. I'm hoping that should keep it cool.
 
I'm thinking about trying CowardlyDucks fan idea. After a really hard run today I put a fan facing the hub and it cooled it down some 20 degrees in like 10 minutes. Got me thinking that if the fan(s) was pushing air on the inside it could cool it that much faster...it was one of those "Duh" moments and it all seemed so clear!

High guys, this is my first post on the forum and my second ebike build. i got the frame from Artur about 3 months ago and have been riding it now for about a month now after finally getting all the parts together and just love it.

This has become my daily commute to work which is 26km each way, weather permitting, and i have a total of just under 700km on it.

For now i will post a few picture of the finished bike, and later i will update the post with all the parts i have installed.

its made by a company call massload out of Taiwan. found it on ebay a few month ago but haven't seen it since. its a little short but works ok.

Do you guys think it would be a good idea to make a motorbike stabilizer on this bike? Maybe it will safe a riders life / bike riding at 80 km/h :roll: :)
 
Stabilizer? Not sure what you mean, steering damper? If yes then if you like to try go for it. Those add little weight are rather low cost and help you keep wheels lined up on uneven surface, potholes and coming down after a wheelie.

If your thinking of the upper crown hydraulic dial type I know they work great for fast sportsbikes. I think the cost of those kind of outweigh the benefits. Upwards to a 1.000 $ seems steep to me. But hey it is your wallet - if deep enough go for it. Even enduro rideres buy them.
 
You can pick up one of the regular piston style dampers for cheap from stock bikes on ebay. I thought about adding one when I was in the planning stage. I haven't run into any problems at 50mph on the street and 65mph on the track. I do have a 19" 1.6" 244 on the front, its a heavy bastard, that probably helps smooth things out.
 
I did my first test ride today. Totally awesome bike. Artur rocks.

1.0 ready
I still have to change many things. This is the first version ready to ride.
Has Lyen controller. mxus V2, lipo 18s 2p 16ah. Dual disk brakes at front.
:) oh yeah
 
Love the graphic screen layover - looks really good and informative. What did you use to make it?

Going kind of fast there in between crowds and with lots of people around, personally I would let off the the throttle a little around people just for the benefits of the e-bike users. I rather go fast in city traffic then in public parks and other areas where crowds gather.

Am I getting old and grumpy? I kind of sounds like my old man saying this....yet I can not stop. Must be a stroke then.

I was not going fast near ppl.. not faster then on normal bike at least ) Look the 2nd part, with less ppl in video and with high speed ))
 
Getting the final bits and bobs in place now.
What size seat clamp fits the Vector? I know the seat post is 27.2mm but what size seat clamp should I use?

Also I got the wrong headset last time, so this time I will check with you guys before placing the order.
Will this headset fit? http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/no/en/fsa-the-pig-dh-pro-headset/rp-prod275

I wonder if the FSA pig pro will maybe be too wide to fit the burtech stem:

While I am at it, will any square tapered crankset fit the Vector?

I just took both my frames to the local bike shop and had them fit the headsets and the forks for me
I am pretty sure it was a standard 1 1/8 headset i think the head tube of the frame had a 34mm ID
I think Artur is selling headsets you should contact him
