The saddle sounds really interesting, I'd love to know what sort of durability you get out of it - really cool! Makes me want to try printing a replacement for an existing bike just to try it out! Very cool stuff man, love your work.

Currently getting what I believe was Samd's bike at one stage in the past on the road in Qld... just had it out on the road for a test and tune on the weekend. Just waiting on some gauges and getting the engineering done - hope to be riding it on the regular in a month or two. Did you ever end...

Nice choice of bike to convert, they're super light weight, it's crazy. :thumb: I picked up a RS125 myself last year that was already converted then sort of left about and never road registered as it was built as a university project. The batteries were pretty average and only 42V from my...

Don't disagree that there are big spenders in the HD fan club but I feel a Venn diagram comparing EV lovers and HD lovers doesn't have much overlap. Happy to be proven wrong but any time I've been at a HD dealer they've been pretty anti EV and even the old V-Rod was too different for them...

Wish those subtitles would translate - looks like a heap of fun. What was the general consensus?

The first couple of eps were so so - hopefully it picks up. Would love to take a HD livewire for a spin but they're $50,000 here! Burn in hell. Cannot be a big market segment at that price.

They fuelled a test jet over 60 years ago with hydrogen, heck they could even switch between JP-4 (Kero) and h2 on the fly to do their testing. One of the reasons it was not pursued further was a giant condensation trail behind a high altitude spy plane was not exactly ideal :lol: More info...

Perhaps the cooling has something to do with fast charging and the same system can be used to pre-warm the batteries? Curious as to why the structural idea is dumb though.

Apparently the Nikola 2 works. So a single vehicle, sure. No idea how it works though, hopefully not by towing it to the top of a hill.

Is this parody? It feels like parody, please tell me this is now parody. Losing 90% of water in a process that creates water from Hydrogen? Sorry, what? There's too many posts to read in this crazy thread, so I've lost track of who's tongue is in cheek and who's finger is up their nose...

Uh they did the figures... and well the money will (potentially) flow out of Nikola into GM, not the other way around. Hardly buying into them, just gives GM another potential revenue source. There's little to no risk for GM, they're already walking down the path that Nikola wants them to...

Snip snip Why are you acting like Tesla's aren't under 100k? Even in Australian $ you can pick up a brand new Tesla for under 100k. Tesla 3 in AUD is like 75k? Well below that in USD which is where Jack lives. You're both talking different currencies maybe but even so.... If you want to...

Even if you halved your cobalt usage per cell.... each year they produce more and more cells. Of course they're going to secure cobalt, they want to keep their supplies in check and don't want the cost to spiral out of control. I have my doubts about any battery revolution overnight but...

Could be great news for people doing custom builds, more secondhand batteries in the market if they outlast the cars they're in. :mrgreen:

Sorry for the confusion. A (good looking) waterproof opening for charging in the motorcycle tank is really the primary aim of the game. If a standard motorcycle filler cap was large enough to accept a standard phase one cable into it I'd possibly look at just mounting a standard cable. Most...
