Someone needs to wash that flux off those boards..

Well, I put in some work on a mount extension after breaking the belt I had for the previous setup. I'm now running a 72t sprocket on the wheel end for 1:5. Before where I would cog too hard to start from a standstill, now there's just minor cogging. It climbs hills with a lot less strain...

Those clones are pretty poorly built, otherwise people wouldn't start with Genuine Honda parts to begin with. The front frame's pretty horrid on those, for example, compared to the aluminum cast one Honda puts out. I put this on the back burner since I bought a onewheel, I may revisit...

I could cut out a new carbon fiber extension to use with the enertion mount - or aluminum, I have stock of both and a shapeoko 3, so I'll probably redo the mount before I do anything else. I've got a variety of sprockets printed out, 56t, 60t, 70t and belts from 320t up to 480t, so it's just a...

Can you make it? It's very well thought out but very difficult to implement.

Oh yea, some observations. It goes faster than I want to go already, but cogs on startup without a push and won't climb a hill unless it's at speed. I'm guessing dual motors is the answer to both problems. After 5 miles, the ESC is totally cool but the motor itself is pretty hot. At 10 miles...

In the end, I ended up not running a 3d printed motor mount, I bought some caliber trucks and an enertion mount a year ago and ended up running 14:42 due to lack of belts and mounting options. After putting a few hundred miles on the setup, I got tired of all the gear up top. I wanted to keep...

I really appreciate the photoshop - I hadn't considered that space for batteries. I had checked out the options on hybridautocenter, sourcing a pack of tesla cells, etc. I guess if I can get 15 miles of range I'd be pretty happy, that would get me to work and back, 20 would be better. Do you...

Not me in the photo, though I'm sure once the EV conversion is done she'll take it for a spin. For batteries, in order to save space and in order to meet the ME0708's amp demands, I was considering some of luna cycle's newer 48v Panasonic GA 18650 packs - two would meet the 100a draw...

Hey all, I built an electric onda board based off info I've scraped off the site here over the years, and I often commute on a BBS02-driven hardtail 29er. I primarily ride a long, low Honda Ruckus as a commuter vehicle, and I'm planning on building an EV ruckus. A few years ago I built a 170cc...

Nice first post. Looks a bit like a copy of the Scrooser http://scrooser.com/en/home/ Only, Romanian instead of German.

What stops the torque of the motors from pulling up on the angle of the mount? I don't see any grub screws and the truck looks round.

Yea, I just watched the first video again and what I thought was a variator is just a sprocket.. neat.

What's the advantage of variating an electric motor? I thought running it through a secondary gearbox (especially a CVT) would be a big drag?
