make me an offer ...

sent you PM

I don't think there's a single person in the electric motorcycle community I'd trust more than Dr. Bass.  Just sayin.  You accuse him at the expense of your own credibility.  If you have any at all, after waiting two years. 

...and hashing out issues on a purchase, as well as slandering someone on a thread?  Such ridiculously bad form.

Please, I know who you are and reading you blog.

If you spend a lot of money on something which turns out not work as it should. How would you react? Even if it was 600 days ago. What would you do, throw your money? Dont you want to solve this? My plan was to finally use this motor this summer...

I know it was some time i bought this motor, i say it clearly in my post below i bought it 2013. But motor was never used by me before i tested it in my setup. NEVER.

It is usual for this community to collect parts one after one for several years and not on same time. I bought it long before i bought right controller and battery pack. It is usual that welding, and rebuildning frame take time...

I found this fault before i did a test ride and my motorcycle was on central stand... There is not many amps you can load to a non loaded motor. 35A? From my point of view this fault was there from beginning, i do not know if Zeros have grounded frames, in this cases it is hard to discover.

I know clearly how i used this motor and how well i stored it. So if i choose to accuse someone that decision i do because i know what i did, what thruth is and how i tryed to solve this isue before i post here.

Here is what i have for sale:

Motor:
SOLD 1-Agni 95R  30kW, top shape near new: 750$ ( retail 1500$)
2-Agni 95R  30kW, top shape 1500km  : 700$ ( retail 1500$)

I want to warn about buying from Doctorbass. I bought a motor from him 2013, the one he describe as in "top shape, near new".

The shipping was delayed, the reason was "commutator need to be cleaned, and brushes need to be changed", here should first warning bell be ringing... Near new motor need new brushes and cleaning...

But ok. I needed a motor to future build. After several weeks I received my motor and tested it with a car battery. no problems. It spins fine.

Now when I finally manufactured a mount plate for motor and mounted motor in my motorcycle frame I accidentally found that I have my battery pack voltage on the frame and motor shaft. I measured resistance between motor shaft and motor terminals and there is 300 Ohms, I also measured with isolation tester at 250V and get below 1. It means I have no isolation between motor shaft and commutator.

According to Cedric Lynch, Jozztek, and Alltrax the motor is fault and need new  armature. Shaft need to be isolated.  But according to Doctorbass there is no problems with this motor, "he used it self few month in his Zero".

His solution to my problem? Install a grounded brush to motor shaft to get rid of battery voltage there. That on motor described as top shape, near new.

So if you want problems buy a motor from him.
