Hi Chet,

This was the first time, using the rim of a bicycle.

Hi All,

I wanted to do a better way to make Fenders or even bend PVC, this is by far a simple way to make any design using a heat gun.

That's really nice work.

Hi Mark,

Its a 3 phase 1000w hub motor, not the best choice due to load climbing hills.

I have a 1000w DC motor that would work better but added chain and gearing would increase weight.

hey Tommy

What voltage system are you running on that motor/controller? 36v? or 48v?

Some of these controllers are multi voltage. Not sure how they determine shutdown when batts are low when going from one voltage level to another.  But I would think that a 1000w, even with the weight you are claiming, should climb hills quite good. My 500w, shown below, can maintain 15mph on its own up a fairly steep grade. 25mph max. Bike is about 75lb and Im 220.   So im just wondering if the trike is actually putting 1000w into the motor, or can it be that it needs more voltage input to do so.  Some are 72v and more. 

The pic below I just took last night. Replaced a bad hall sensor.  Also repl another so all are the same. Had 1 go bad before. Replaced it. This time the one I already replaced is still good, so the originals just aint worth a crap.  Dont know why they would go bad.  Too much flux?  Maybe bad supply voltage to the halls.  Too much.  But seems ok. Could be a once in a while blip.

Hi mags,

I'm using a 48v battery bank, but my 12 cells of lithium battery is only about 44v, I will need to add one more cell bank to get the 48v.

Lead acid will really push this trike over 30mph, I don't know how many amps I'm pulling yet.

Still have to add the meters and speedometer to get a better reading.

I use a WattsUp meter inline. Gives voltage, amps whats real time and AH and WH .  100Apeak 60v max, I think. Never had it that high, but you can look up specs if you like.  Use anderson connectors. Great connectors.
