Title: E-Busa at Loring
Post by: Frank on July 20, 2017, 09:29:06 PM
I did several runs at 50% for testing and one full-power pass with cool batteries: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aKpPurk5L7k (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aKpPurk5L7k)

Finally.. a ebike fast enough to keep up with interstate commuting traffic!  ;D

Seriously though, I liked the graphic overlay. the blue line smoothly goes up and around, making the rate of acceleration very clear.

200+ MPH, crazy fast.

It's wild how linear the acceleration is all the way up to 150mph/160mph.

Hmm, I'm seeing it but it's my account.  I have to figure out if google photos can be used for public access I guess.  It seems all the hosting sites are requiring $$ to allow third-party hosting.

That is certainly true of Photobucket. Surprise $$$.

they can be public for free, you just have to use the "share" link instead of your private url.

Insane! Can you tell us more about the bike?
Title: Re: E-Busa at Loring
Post by: Frank on July 26, 2017, 04:59:07 AM
It's a street-legal 2004 Hayabusa with stock bodywork (mirrors are removed per regs and the aftermarket fender is permitted).  Remy HVH250 motor, Rinehart Motion Systems PM100DXR controller, Lonestar "Sleeper" cells.  It's a fairly straightforward conversioin with steel subframe onto which the motor and batteries are mounted.  Weight is about the same as a stocker, useful range is probably 30 miles.  I think the aero is pretty good as I was able to close off all the radiator and airbox openings.  Small radiators to cool the motor and controller are in the back.

If you don't mind me asking what is the voltage and battery size for this beast.
Title: Re: E-Busa at Loring
Post by: Frank on July 27, 2017, 05:34:58 PM
96S4P, close to 400V hot off the charger.  The cells occupy a box roughly 8" X 11" X 22".

The pack is actually a drag race pack and that's where it will probably go this winter.  I'm planning to run lower voltage using some Enerdels I have.  Lots of open records in electric motorcycle classes!

Awesome conversion Frank!  Very cool.

Thanks, I ran it this year with a 50S pack: same range on the street (it would actually be close to 70 miles except the DC/DC converter stops working after ~40 miles).  With about 100 less HP it ran 158 or so.  Working on aero again, trying to do more with less.

Was the 200+ run on the 1.5 mile course?
Title: Re: E-Busa at Loring
Post by: Frank on November 26, 2018, 07:10:33 PM
Best speeds are 201.xxx at the mile and 206.xxx at the 1.5 mile.  I've made 5 runs >200 mph with that particular battery pack.  I think I posted a video link to one of the passes earlier in this thread somewhere (but I have *very* lousy internet connection so don't want to search for it, I could lose this reply).
