Do a search of www.endless-sphere.com

You will find the batteries and the builder of that bike :D

No Zero product uses Nano-tech cells.   

That is my personal bicycle made for racing and general hooligan activities.

"No Zero product uses Nano-tech cells."
maybe they should!

I followed your project all the way and must congratulate you on a great job.

What was the single biggest contributor that has enabled you to leapfrog existing setups? from reading the blog it looked like the ability to have 100 hours of time to maximise the software to bring all the components to work together reliably

ZF6 discharges at 6C tops. Turnigy goes up to 130C burst.. a bit of overkill.

I assume the Zero battery is more optimized for energy density and longevity than power density.

The Zero battery is designed with maximum safety and longevity as priority #1, followed closely by energy density.   

Nanotech cells offer extremely poor safety and consistency and reliability.  They are amazing for EV racing and RC, but you would not want them in much else.

Even though we built that bike at my shop, LFP isn't allowed to store nanotech batteries there. 

They are in no way suitable for a production EV because while it's true that nobody else matches the price/energy characteristics of nanotechs, sometimes the whole "most bang for your LiPo buck" thing becomes all too true...

We have more build pics and notes from this project and I may get around to putting some sort of writeup together one of these days.

Wicked bike guys! Love the drag race vid. I remember a video of Cedric Lynch riding it, what did he have to say about it?

I'd love to read a write up on the bike if you put it together.

Is that the zero motorcycles van at 1:47? lol
