Hyena
10 GW
I was referring to the rear wheel hub - I assume he's using a standard-ish one with the mention of 9 gears ?boostjuice said:Hyena, which freewheel/s are you referring to? GB output freewheel, freewheel crank/chainring or freehub?

What is the battery capacity of the down tube ? Iooks like it'd hold 8 6S 5ah packs ? So 12S4P or 24S2P ?
You mean 12S ?AussieJester said:The battery capacity within the frame is 15ah worth
of 6s batteries...

Timma2500 said:Hey i just saw your build thread Simon, the Black Vigilante looks awsome! That'd be great if you could come along, the more the merrier Would be a good chance to see the Black Beast in the flesh too.
Yeah i'm down in Boganham ah i mean Rockingham... Cloverdales up near Kewdale isn't it? Can you tell i'm a banana bender fresh off the boat? lol
Kids are terrific disease carriers / spreaders, too good (the little turds!!!) in fact, i'm always catching a bug off them..

Cheers. I wouldn't have the faintest idea on range etc on this build, the gearbox never lasted longer than 5km before stripping teeth off as per the pics above...waynebergman said:Very nice bike by the way. Do you know what kind of range could you get out of your set up here say on a flat road going 30mph and no pedal assist, I am assuming with the ability to gear your drive you can get some good efficiency out of this bike?
The Norco frame itself is 6061. The sides i used were 12mm 5083 marine grade plate machined down to 5 and 10mm and the top plate was 3mm 6061 sheet. I'm pretty easy going and adventurous when it comes to welding different grades of ally together, but i figure if you over engineer what ever it is your joining, you can usually get away with it. At work we normally only use 6061 sheet, plate, tube and rhs/shs. With the exception being some 5083 from time to time. 6061 will normally play nicely with most grades.waynebergman said:I am guessing you have fabricated the motor mount and battery holder out of 6061 aluminum. I am curious if a person finds a frame that is a candidate for such a project are you having to worry about the series of aluminum that the frame is made of or do you just go for it with the 6061 stock for the customizing and weld it to whatever the frame happens to be made of. My guess is that 6061 would work with most Aluminum frames but I am not sure.
Yup, that happened on several occasions, normally after about 3 - 5km of riding - i never got any further without busting the planets!Hyena said:Wow those gears were really minced! What was the story with that again ? And what did you replace them with ?
Lol. If only the bike sounded like a turbo on song i'd be a happy camper... its from a mate's old Nissan CA18DET we squeezed into a Datson 1200 uteHyena said:I like the pic next to the turbo housing, that'd make a good inconspicuous gearbox side cover hanging off the side of the bike
This build is long finished Sam, however its soon to be rebuilt on this thread: http://endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=35302Samd said:Subscribed.
