    I've actually worked on one of these motorcycles. Despite all the cells testing fine outside the bike, the BMS refused to allow the controller to activate. Very frustrating to work on when all the dealer tools can't be used anymore. Eventually I had to give it back to the owner, and as far as I know it's still sitting in his garage if anyone else wants to take a crack at it. (In Miami).

      @@marsrover001 Thats a shame. I suppose this is one of the problems with tech not many people are used to. Its hard to find many people who have enough in depth knowledge to be able to properly diagnose it.
      Same thing happened with fuel injection, emissions devices and most new stuff that isn't just obvious. I just wait until things have had a chance to mature so someone else gets the headaches.

    I agree with you about having gears with electric motors is something manufacturers are missing the point on. I've built a single speed electric pocket bike that could hit 40 mph eventually and now I have a 6 speed ebike that can only go 20 ish without pedaling but being able to change gears doesn't overcome my battery trying to go up hills

    • @oddojaggins
      @oddojaggins Před rokem +1

      @CryptoCrusader33 yes I can, they are both 48v systems that use 18650 lithium ion cells, only difference is my pocket bike is 20 aH and the ebike is 10 aH. I can ride the pocket bike for hours as long as I stay away from the hills which will overload the bms if I don't let off the throttle, if I had a two speed transmission that was good for hills and flat it would be perfect

Does about 20mph. Love the looks people give me when I'm riding uphill without pedaling. My favorite bike I owned was my 85 Honda Interceptor. I lived in Florida then so that may have contributed to all the great memories, but it was a great bike. Thanks for all the effort you guys put into your art.

    I actually got to work on one of these exact bikes a few months ago from auction. Someone at the auction house unplugged the motor temperature sensor that was bad and throwing a code, causing the water pump to run constantly but no longer showing a code (bike just assumed the motor temp was like 500 degrees Fahrenheit). I looked up a new motor temp sensor on the parts diagram, and you have to replace the entire motor assembly, it is not available as a separate component. We were worried the ESC (or motor controller, whatever you want to call it) would not be able to limit motor current based on temperature even if the cooling system was running, and decided it was in our best interest to send the bike back to auction with issues disclosed. Maybe the bike would have been ok to ride but I didn't know.

Overall I think they missed the fun factor on the bike. I had an FJ-09 at the time, and the yamaha triple motor was just so much more fun for half the price.

    I live in Southern Oregon not very far from Ashland, Talent areas, so when I heard the name Brammo I got a little excited. They started their bike thing in Talent, Oregon and have sadly turned their manufacturing equipment over to Cummins. I don’t know if this means they went out of business, or if they’re sharing tech. Either way, it’s good to see entrepreneurs putting little places on the map too.

    Honestly the clutch on an electric makes things a little more iffy if you depend on it. The only thing that matters is the control unit and that even if it takes a direct hit it won’t change any of the power outage.
    For the same reason you might feel nervous starting one and not being able to “rev” the engine. I’m not a gasoline motorcycle person but I have experience with electronic control systems and the QC on them is as important as brake actuators for semi trucks.
