    Off-Road Range Guess?

    Yea but there are a lot of people like me, 65 and still woods riding and 25 miles would be plenty. By the time I hit 20 miles I'm starting to think about the cold beer at the truck. I live in Alabama where everyone thinks electric cars don't work and won't have one because they can't go 3000...

    Off-Road Range Guess?

    Maybe tapped out but they doubled the range of a Tesla S. I didn't say it was the end all we need, what I said was advancements are made daily and it only gets better.

    Off-Road Range Guess?

    I read an article that lead to this company, Our Next Energy this is a start up in Michigan with a new chemistry and looks to be maybe the next step up. As with all tech, it starts at one place and continues to get better and better. Consider the VCR, when they came out, the size of a suit...

    YZ250F 2014 Build With QS 138 70H V3 Motor and 450A controller Part #1 and Part #2

    I didn't know if the 90H was a bigger motor or not. I guess any of them would still be limited by the capacity of the controller. What little I know about the Zeros, it seems they use one motor in different bikes at different power levels. I watched your battery build vids. Nice work. I saw one...

    Don, I watched you videos, nice bikes. Have you used a 90H motor and besides the gear reduction, what is the difference between the 90H and the70H? Thanks.

    YZ250F 2014 Build With QS 138 70H V3 Motor and 450A controller Part #1 and Part #2

    I see a few of these on Amazon, is there anything I should look for or look to avoid? They look to be chargers for ebikes or EZGOs. the ones I'm seeing are pretty reasonable. I think I gave $75 for the hobby charger I use for my race bike. LOL, I know the guy that owns the store where I bought...

    YZ250F 2014 Build With QS 138 70H V3 Motor and 450A controller Part #1 and Part #2

    I have a '72 Suzuki T500 vintage race bike, I used a 16v pack with 8 16850s to power the ignition, in a total lose using a Ford pickup and reluctor and a GM HEI module and a Dynatec dual fire coil. Big spark. Cool to hear about the 21700, less items to deal with. I saw mention of charging but...

    YZ250F 2014 Build With QS 138 70H V3 Motor and 450A controller Part #1 and Part #2

    Don, I guess a better question about the KTM battery would be did you use the same cells as the Yamaha and the same voltage and was it built in the same style? The Yamaha has a frame that allows the battery to stand up between the 2 top rails but if the KTM 150, I think is like my 300 it has a...

    YZ250F 2014 Build With QS 138 70H V3 Motor and 450A controller Part #1 and Part #2

    If gets 40 miles single track it would be more than enough for me. I love riding but I'm not fast, I don't try to be. I just go to have fun. Do you have info some where on your battery builds? Check this out. at the very first of this vid you can see me working the start of a test at one of the...

    YZ250F 2014 Build With QS 138 70H V3 Motor and 450A controller Part #1 and Part #2

    Don that clears it up a pretty good bit. Do these motors hold up well to the extra amps ok? I currrently have a KTM 300XCW and I ride single track in the woods. I like the idea of a 150, seems it would be a good size for single track non-race bike. 63AH @ 72 volts, do you have an idea how many...

    Off-Road Range Guess?

    Well I'm a member of NATRA, we held National Enduros for years. What Stark needs to do is send me a test bike to use for...say...the summer, LOL, to see how well it holds up in real life trail riding. I'm 63 and weight about 250 and not at all fast so I would be the perfect test rider. LOL...
