    Land Speed Record EBike

    Does anyone have a line on decent savage Zero motors? I'm assuming I'd want the whole system motor/controller/batts. But need to do some configuring as the battery boxes currently are structural and constrained. Thanks!

    Land Speed Record EBike

    I remember your video well and continue to be blown away by it. I'm not sure what the cd of this is, somewhere south of of .11 with about the smallest frontal area possible. So the 1 hp on up categories make a lot of sense. So in my view, 1 hp or so is an EBike. I think the Lynch motor used...

    Land Speed Record EBike

    This vehicle is/was the record holder about 20 yrs ago. With 2 LA 12v car batteries it traveled 66 miles in 1 hour and hit about 107 mph at the Bonneville Speed Flats. Working within the original design I have certain constraints but with decent Li-ion batts and a modern motor I'm expecting...

    Land Speed Record EBike

    Howdy: I'm in the process of building up a tiny land speed record vehicle and also mid to high speed efficiency runs. It previously ran a Lynch motor mid-drive and I will be updating the entire drive train. I am considering using a Surron motor, at least initially. I would like to program the...

    Mid-drive mounting for multiple motors

    Welp, that kind of confirms it. I should select the 2-3 motors first then create the necessary mounts. I'm planning on a 1hp hub motor and then switch to 1 or 2 larger motors depending on the intention. I'm hoping this vehicle will have the aerodynamic potential to set some distance/efficiency...

    Mid-drive mounting for multiple motors

    Thanks, this makes sense. I think what I need to do is create removable mounts for each type. This was originally setup for a Lynch motor.

    Mid-drive mounting for multiple motors

    I'm in the process of putting together a rear triangle for a tadpole type trike. I am wondering if there is a mounting system out there that allows to try out different types of motors in a mid-drive configuration. Eg: Using a a hub motor in a mid-drive configuration but then for different...
