P R O J E C T "Y" KILLABICYCLE World record 17 june 2009

[Achim]

Doc,

Same from Switzerland, It's 23:00 here but I'll stay up until you have uploaded a video!!!

[Kurt]

Perhaps Doctorbass and his killabicycle have reach 88 miles per hour and he has made the time jump BACK TO THE FUTURE!

Eagerly awaiting the results

Kurt.

Slick build Doc, I can't wait to hear the results and watch the vid to see what that thing can do. . My thoughts are with you.

update! update! update!

[oldhaq]

That certainly is one awe inspiring machine you've built there doc, it's something that I would love to ride over anything else.
I have no doubt the world record is yours.
I'm sure you've given aspiration for some to follow in your footsteps, myself included but maybe not quite as extreme as you.
I used to love ripping the roads and tracks up on ICE bikes, but It's now DIY e-bikes only for me.

it's almost midnight in Doc's time zone. still no word.

i hope he is just celebrating...

BUMP!!!

UPDATES!

Today and yesterday was very busy days preparing the bike and the making of an episode for extreme hobyist like me!

That was very exiting!

ok ok.. want to know the results?

Real GPS measured Speed: 94.3kph (58.6MPH) official speed today!

so that match the official speed recorded bt the american record in the Bonneville desert.. lol.. same speed.. so we are both to have the same speed!... BUT.. My bicycle DOES HAVE PEDAL !!!.. His "bicycle doesn't have pedal... THIS IS NOT A BICYCLE!... So in fact... I have the true eBicycle that have the 58.6MPH guys!!

Recorded current: 170A.. min Volt 87.9V.. front wind: 25kph

AND... I've succeded finally to tow a 16000lbs schoolbus !!!!! with mt mongoose ebike on a new 20" wheel max current 90A and max motor temp: 57celsius after the first run.

guys.. i'll have a tons of link to share with you with video.. alot of TV news and reporter had filmed me for this event.. so i'll post the link as soon as i find them!


Today accomplished work: and at lease one world record!

58.6MPH GPS (recorded two times)

and towed a 16000lbs scholl bus!!!

Doc will go to the bed and will come back tomorrow.. a bit tired and need to recharge his bionic battery!!

Wow... I would have expected a little more speed from 15 kW and something like 11+kW (>70% efficiency) output. I know you probably modeled it using the simulator - can you give a data point as to its accuracy? I'd think the drag coefficient of your bike is probably somewhere between .4 and .7. Uploading the profile's data (It can be saved using the simulator) would be helpful so I can investigate it further.

[liveforphysics]

Wait a minute, I can make my GPS say 64mph on flat ground anytime I want, I could re-gear and go faster if I wanted. I'm using a full size bicycle, and can pedal. No fairings or anything either, just LiPo on a bike with twin RC motors. With a re-gear, I think Matt's PK-ripper might be even faster than my bike.

I thought you were going for the 1/4mile drag racing world record for an E-bike. Did you get to run at the track?

Videos and info my friend!!! We are all on the edge of our seats here! Get us posted, and then sleep later

[gogo]

If he had a 24 KPH headwind, that would give him an effective 74 MPH top speed in still air. And yes, I'm also dying to find out the 1/4 mi. E.T.

quote " ...s'est ensuite rappelé qu'il n'avait pas gonflé ses pneus à leur maximum ... " = .. Then he remembered that he had not pumped the tires to their maximum...

Ahahaha.. .. it's all in the fine details !!!

[Lapwing]

[TylerDurden]

I need to learn French. That said, it's easy to tell Doc is a natural talent. The segments are generous length... very nice, considering the media's penchant for brevity.

Well done Doc!

[karma]

nice work doc
