hi dudes
dont know if any of you here know me- im Madm3chanic, i own descendence cycles. its not really a business as such, i make about 10 frames a year (on a busy year, and there's a good chance a few of them will be for me), so mods please dont misconstrue this as an advertisement and delete my thread
im trying to design myself a 3.2kW 72V/20aH frame similar to a bomber or a raptor to get myself to work on, and after chatting with John Bozi on here iv realised that i would like to make it with a concentric pivot to the BB shell (iv done them in the past with pushies, so iv nutted that one out already).
basically im proposing a kind of open-source frame that i could make a few more of in the future if anyone wants one, and im open to all manner of suggestions and in all seriousness, would like the help as im a bit of a noob with ev's. id be keen to make a kit similar to the raptor but outline everything i did to make it including a full budget of the parts, how to do it yourself and where to buy them, basically so anyone can make themselves a kick-arse off-road ebike.
here's my first CAD's of the proposed frame- and i stress its really early first renders so dont judge to harshly
this is based around a 63 degree head angle, standard 200mm travel DH forks, 26" front wheel, 19" moto real wheel with a 150mm hub, a 275x90mm shock and a really decent cavity for batteries and the BMS/controller. it will get to 180mm of rear wheel travel with this shock and its a nice linear rising rate so wont blow thru its travel or bottom out (tho being a concentric it'll bob quite badly under pedalling, but frock it aint a mtb...)
im open to all manner or suggestions of aesthetics, materials, whatever, and as it progresses im pretty sure ill have lots of questions re. the build and wiring her up!
