Video

We rode June 24-30. It was decently hot during the day and pretty cool at camp at night depending on elevation. I'd say temps were just about perfect. We maybe saw 10 minutes of rain the whole week, and it was welcomed to keep the dust down.

nah this soundtrack slaps

We used a ME-1304 and I believe we targeted that over the 1507 because it is lighter with similar continuous power and higher peak current. Also we got sponsorship help with motor and controller combo so price was a big factor. The top speed with the 70T sprocket is about 65mph, and the top speed with the 52T is about 105mph.

@@joeyvortex Thank you for the info, your videos have been very helpful. I look forward to your next video as I want to learn more about the final result. Stay safe and keep it up!

@UCV3ipUIVBltybkf8o3dqoeg I can buy a bunch of parts and put them together. Still not research it is borrowing existing ideas. You should patent it before someone thinks of it: )

You are spot on man! We got a deal in these batteries. They aren't bad for battery life and safety, but their peak discharge current is a limiting factor. For true performance, a high discharge and dangerous battery would be preferable. I might swap them out in the future with an NMC pack.

@@joeyvortex hey man what is an NMC pack? I am looking for some high-discharge LiPo packs. Turnigy multi-star is one, but they are all sold out and I guess their quality is going downhill now.

@@petertwiss356 NMC is Lithium Nickel Manganese Cobalt Oxide or LiNiMnCo. It's another Lithium ion flavor but they make some high discharge cells that are really light and small and you can get 5C continuous and 20C peak.

@@joeyvortex thanks Joey, sorry I do know of that chemistry. I thought it was maybe a brand, looking for a pack source for a build myself. thanks!

peter cotto lol you wanna turn ur bike into a death trap

For sure man! We need more current! If you want high performance, sometimes you have to get a little dangerous. I might swap out the battery pack eventually for something with higher discharge current. These batteries aren't bad for a daily commuter, but they are limiting.

I went lithium ion smaller and higher discharge rates. Less cycle life though

They cant help you as every manufacturer has a different wiring diagram, Without enough information about the components you are using nobody can help you. Go over to endless sphere and ask your question there but make sure you have a list of all your components, Also the manufacture surely has a blueprint of the wiring for the components you bought its unheard of to not have them. Hard to believe they didn't come with a wiring diagram. Seriously think about your question it's lacking so much information are you even building anything or seeking attention? If you are serious then be serious with your question and provide the right information.

Sorry dude, I just saw this. I can send you the wiring diagram. The full report with all the drawings and specs is published at the University.

It's actually further away from the swingarm bolt than where the original engine sprocket was. We wanted to put it as close to the original location as possible, so the motor is actually as far back as it will fit.

You want it as close to the pivot as possible otherwise your chain will loosen and tighten way too much when the rear shock compresses. Forever Computing it's obvious you have never been on any kind of motorcycle. Which makes it so weird that you would offer to advise. Did you not hear they put it in the original location in the video? What makes you think you're more qualified than the engineers a KTM? You're strange, do you always offer advice without knowing a damn thing about how something works?

@@FarmerFpv Awww - you think I never been on 2 wheels? Keep thinking that sunshine.

70T

Man that looks Amazing. I have almost the exact same project that has been consuming life for the past year. Now I'm into the tuning phase, and have no idea how to proceed with adjusting the drive parameters. I hoping you can help with this. You are the only one that I've seen using that Servcon gen 4 size 6 controller, with that motor combo at 72 volts. Although I'm using the Me1302. I think they are pretty similar. Looking forward to he next video. Great work!
