    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 Рік тому +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

    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).

    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.

    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.

    @stephenbeeson1521 Рік тому

    As an EE that works with electric drives I can say the biggest reason you don't see many EV's with gear box's is because if you aren't very careful you can easily destroy the thing with instantaneous torque or burn the clutch. Its much easier to fix the motor to the wheels and limit the continuous torque then try to control the motor speed as your changing gears. Also electric motors have much better torque/power curves then ICE making them perfectly suited to direct drive. I do hope to see improvements in this as it makes no sense to equip every car on the street with oversized motors/inverters when a gearbox can allow a smaller motor to do the same job, honestly most people don't need 4 second cars.

    I think you should try the table cloth test again with one modification to the attachment. Rather than tying the table cloth at one point in the middle, try adding a dowel the width of the table cloth. That would more evenly distribute the pull under the dishes. Tie it like a water skiing rope handle. That'd do it.

    I'm guessing the battery is shot on that Brammo.
    You could always get the battery rebuilt, tested first and then rebuilt by a battery builder, pretty much making it almost like brand new, even updating the cells to something better, which might give better speed and will give better range.

    14:26 so cool i love when adult people have fun like smal kids!! You made my sunday morning! When you have a Solar Station on the roof from your home, where you can load the e-bike for "nothing" and the way to your work is not more like 50km.away from you,its a perfect idea, you drive for free to your work,you can load in your job over the day,you have in the evening a full load bike, for the great fun on weekend, i need to drive a Yamaha R1!! Sorry for my bad english best wish Reiner from Germany

    This is very educational, I've always wondered where babies were made.
