Hey Dogman,

Awesome build. Great to see a quality, heavy duty workhorse ebike. You need to change your signature now to reflect your new ride!

Not a monk, but I do have a St Bernard. I'm dogman because I'm a dog whisperer. Not quite in Cezar Milan's class but I can make freinds with any dog however mean he may be. I have blown the minds of many people who's houses I was remodeling. I'm in the yard with the man eater working away on the house, and the owner comes home and says, NOBODY has ever gone in the yard with that dog! My wife says I am a dog that looks like a human. When I met her she said I had to pass the her dog likes me test. I knew then I was going to have a happy night. Turned out to be a happy 31 years.

This thread has been dormant for quite some time. But the motor has not been so dormant. After a few thou miles this motor got moved over to my racing bike, and did some testing. Then it was a bit of waiting whille I beefed up some things on the bike, got batteries and controllers sorted out.

This very same motor is now being fed 100v, and is going racing Oct 30, 2010. See the race bike thread here.

The trusty E-Bike kit 9 continent motor has gone racing and not only survived but did well! With vent holes, no overheating issues, and the wires into the hub did not cook. I did put 12 guage phase wires on it from the controllers to the forks, but left the wires stock into the hub.

Running 40 amps of 100v, I was reaching about 40 mph on the kart track. With a long straighaway, 47 mph is possible. Gasoline bike riders eyes were bugging out all over, when they saw this thing take off after a corner. Only one guy was faster, and he got black flagged. Unfortunatley, I mis read the flag to mean everybody, and got off too as I was leading the race.

I'll get em next time, with my ebikekit.
