Tech Help / Re: single / duel controller
« on: January 04, 2012, 01:12:00 PM »
this has been a very brain heavy couple weeks , what started as a simple "build an electric bike" has turned into a quest to build something i can be proud of.....the more i research the more i want to build something that will perform and at the same time teach me about a tecnology that will do nothing but move forward , from what i have read in the last couple of weeks the fun stuff is in the experimenting , but first i should build something that will teach me some stuff , so the plan so far it for twin agni 95rs and a zilla control , this coming week is " battery " week , more readin and head scratchin , i know these choices will not be to all taste's but the "2" speed idea intrigues me ,and i can start with the single motor and add the second as the build progresses .
To answer the question as to what bike , i have a VTR 1000 , i wanted to build something on the bigger side not a 250 mini thing , the frame of the VTR lends it self to " hanging " motor and battery pack as once the V twin is removed the wishbone frame will lend it self to low battery placement and a good center of G.
I have my own CNC machine shop which i have run TOTALLY off the grid for the last 4 years ,so in the last four years i have done a lot to learn about power generation and storage and conservation , its time to burn that power on two wheel and have fun !!!!!
