    Hotroding Triad 750

    Hi all, I built a sweet electric bike from the advice I got on this forum about 7 years ago. Since then I've been diagnosed with MS so it's strictly 3 wheels for me now. I have an extra Triad 750 in my workshop which has a 16" 750 watt 48 volt stock system. and 65lbs weight. I'm going to turn...

    48V to 72V-flick switch for turbo?

    Thanks for the answer, so I just have an amp switch on a 72v battery.

    48V to 72V-flick switch for turbo?

    I'm thinking of doing a front & rear drive on my modified scooter. Partly for added range and added oooomph. What I was wondering was if I ran them at 48V, with the 72V controller could I click a switch to go from 48V to 72V?

    Hotrodding advice?

    Kind of obvious but a good reminder Yes I've been thinking about making it tilting since first getting it up on 2 wheels and not being able to steer! Hit a vice that time!! My first thought was to put a radial bearing at the connection of the frame to the rear flat frame, and maybe adding an...

    Hotrodding advice?

    You're right Dogman it is scary! Aside from "loosing the seat and seat post" which I can't do, any suggestions to make it more stable? I was thinking of making the 2 back wheels bigger and maybe adding a hinged section with another 2 wheels to extend the wheelbase back. I can do pretty well...

    Just realized I might have posted in the wrong place, I was just going for exposure.

    Hotrodding advice?

    Hopefully I'll be able to put the picture. It's a Triad 750, delta trike, front wheel drive. I'm going to build an extension to extend the wheel base back, and make it more stable. It isn't very stable now at 20 mph.

    Hotrodding advice?

    Having lost all faith in my stock System, I want to hotrod my 750 direct drive 16" wheel. I'm going to wire up the hub with thin jacket, old quality, 12 gauge wiring through the hub, I want to lose the Halls sensors, and get a controller that is sensor-less, run 72 volt. My first question is if...

    Most powerful scooter hub

    im going to build a stupid fast, long wheel base, tadpole trike with tandem seating and a 0.3 drag coefficient body, is this the most powerful hub motor in the world?

    Hotrodding 750W 48V hub motor

    Wow that's quite the story Voltron! Yes I agree, it's already kinda scary at 20 mph! I've got plans to make a bolt-on rear section to make my wheelbase longer and the scooter more stable. I'ld like to put a mountain board truck so it can lean and steer, but I've since found out that I have to...

    Hotrodding 750W 48V hub motor

    Thanks for the answer Spinning Magnets, I'll have to read it a few times to understand it! But bottom line is it sounds pretty hazardous, I think I'll just go to 72v, can I just add a 24v battery to my 48v in parallel, of the same type. Or do I need to get a specific 72v battery?

    Hotrodding 750W 48V hub motor

    I was going to ask this in separate post but since you've answered me and your a knowledgable guy, is it possible at the flick of a switch to go from 48v to 96v, series to parallel with 2 48v batteries? I realize I'ld have to change the controller. Also I'm not really sure how or what increasing...

    Hotrodding 750W 48V hub motor

    Thanks Voltron, I've got a 750W 48V cast aluminum wheel with a disc brake. That's good to know that you've gone to 72V with stock wiring, I want to upgrade my wiring anyway but I was thinking to remove the 5 hall wires to give me more room in the axle for bigger power wires, but maybe that's...

    Hotrodding 750W 48V hub motor

    Thanks for the replies. I think I will go to 72 Volt, I want to upgrade the wires through the hub because it blew the yellow wire from rubbing on the inside of the cover, I'll go with 12 gauge silicon coated high voltage wires. Since I have to change my controller anyway I was thinking of...

    Hotrodding 750W 48V hub motor

    Hi I have a spare 16", 750 watt, 48 volt scooter hub motor and I want to hotrod it with better power wires, bigger battery 60 V? 72V? I'll machine air holes in the side covers. I'ld appreciate any advice I don't want to make it too fragile. Thanks

    Tilting Three Wheeler-"eBikeboard"

    After having bought a Triad 750 a year ago, which is really fast but scary at speed. The Triad is a fixed delta trike, and although its fun in a straight line as soon as you corner at any kind of speed the inside wheel lifts and you cant steer or brake any more and you're praying that you wont...

    Turning fixed delta trike into leaner...

    My old Mac is acting up and I cant pull a picture from iPhoto, but my delta trike is a Triad 750-(16" 750 Watt scooter wheel in front, 2 9"X3.5" wheels at the back), short wheelbase. I wont be doing any major modifications, because I use this as my medical mobility scooter, and it works great...

    Turning fixed delta trike into leaner...

    I can't figure out the best way to make my fixed delta lean... Either putting a mountainboard truck on the back axle... Or a pivot on the front end to the fixed rear platform? The pivot should/would? be as low as possible, below the axle of the rear wheels? I know it's all about physics, but...

    Turning fixed delta trike into leaner...

    I have a fixed delta trike and I want to turn it into a leaner by putting a heavy duty "channel" mountainboard truck on the rear axle. Anyone try this?

    riding an electric wheelchair on the road?

    Last year I was diagnosed with MS, and did a weekend's worth of internet research into a "medical mobility scooter". I've raced motorcycles and downhill mountain bikes, and followed F1 since I was 11 in England, (because of one of my mums boyfriend), funnily enough he was a speedfreak mod. All...

    First Annual Ebike Day in Canada: May 24, 2015

    That's great! I'll be there... I'ld love to organize some kind of competitions, I know there's an uphill in September and I'll be there too, but I mean like drifting trike races or speed records, efficiency, go kart tracks. I think it would be lots of fun and help EV sales and custom builds and...

    Anyone get a "Lyric RNG3R"

    It's an e-trike I just found out about, "Delta", with leaning and suspension on the back wheels (looks like a skateboard truck). It's not quite as fast as the Triad 750, but it leans, which for me is HUGE.

    Fastest Medical Mobility Scooter!

    So I did my first modification; went from a cheapass 140mm disc brake setup, to an Avid BB7 200mm disc brake set up. It required more work than I thought, the Avid's disc bolt circle is slightly smaller than the stock one so I've had to slot the holes up a little. To get the disc on I had to cut...

    Electric drift trikes

    Yo Arlo, I just got a Triad 750 into Canada no probs, VERY easy to convert into a driftalicious funmobile. Check it out, REALLY good power to weight ratio, good quality, and good price too.
