Figured you guys would appreciate it.

 

In for 100 page thread

 

Got to be somewhere on this forum:

I recognize the name.

EDIT: Oh and obligatory:

 

So is that a motor contained in that housing? If so, thats pretty impressive that they got up to 60mph.

 

More torque than a Honda.

 

It's a gearless, brushless electric motor mounted to the spokes of a bike wheel. Similar to this:

That's cool. I wondered when the flaming penises would become relavent. I wonder no more.

 

That's the impressive part. If you watch the dyno, that thing is making 50-70 ft/lbs steady-state, and peaking at around 120 ft/lbs.

On a bicycle.

That's pretty much the most wanton and gratuitous display of senseless power I have ever seen.

 

9 peak hp and 120 ftlbs tq. hahaha!

On another note, where did they get that dyno from?

 

If I ever read that statement on a speeding ticket I'd frame it lol.

 

This thread is a major letdown.

 

3 ft/lbs per lb is a major letdown? That's probably close to the highest power/weight ratio of any vehicle ever created by man.

now go get what you need.

 

I expected to see flaming penises.

My laptop died so I got a library card and I sure as **** ain't gonna click that. I can't go back to jail, my momma cookin' chicken fo' dinnah.

 

Do want!

I bet it would do awesome wheelies

 

I take it you didn't watch the video all the way through, then.

 

i just got done reading the thread on the video filmer's OWN bike build. interesting but kinda ended without an ending.

apparently RC motors are the way to go.

 

I am thinking the builder was like, "Oh lets take some weight out of these hubs. I will drill these holes and connect them like this. Oh Jesus, I just decorated it with penises."
