Belt drive GSXR?

That may be so but it is not how it came across.

The approriate way to have done that would have been to start your own thread and send the guy a pm with a link to the thread if you wanted his input.

Basically you came across as a young know-it-all upstart.

I seem to recall having much the same discussion in the TTXGP thread (or whatever they call it)... I don't really see why electric bike builders cop so much flak cos people don't see them as a viable solution, yet the same are fine with riding bikes that are ploughing through the worlds supply of dino-juice

Maybe I am? but does that disclude the information that I posted from being as I described it?

relevant, interesting, thought provoking, well researched information?

What if this skipper guy was coming across as another old boy trying to teach me a thing or two about....well nothing, he just insulted me, regardless of how he came across he still called me a dickhead and he'll get the bite he deserves for it, which is in the content, if he'd come across as another old boy actually teaching me a thing or two about the relevant topic then I'd be humbled.

seems some others think you were being a noter

what is a noter?

bogan, some other dude and I had a yarn about the topic in the TTXGP thread, no one would have seen it cause only the seriously elite go into the racing forum (as opposed to wanna be racers in the sportsbike forum....oooh dig dig) the other guy in that TTX thread had some interesting emerging battery technologies, I even asked rouge if he was using li-ion but didn't get a reply.

too true....sorry. I have to take my hat off to the guy, the belt drive, the innovation and time that must have gone into this is truely outstanding

[nadroj]

and the fact he is building more.

It will be good to see a "work in progress" report with a few pics (if we haven't scared him off).

Thanks for all the great feed back an support, the new bike has been started I am just waiting for the batteries, bms, motor and controller, there has been a slight hold up in the factory so i am told two Weeks an they'll be arriving. I was looking at the shori batteries but it just couldn't fit in the budget, maybe next time. I will post pics soon.

[sugilite:Me]

Thanks for taking the time to give us an update. It's such a interesting project, I'm in awe of your mad skills!

[bogan]

I think the new version should get its own build thread, definitely worthy devoid of world greeny issues, and just keep us up to date with all the neat parts instead.

Oh, feel free to pilfer my sig pic too... the growth is inevitable

what type of battery? and which motor?

[roguenp]

Its a fairly new set up that I have sourced an they have made it all custom and water cooled not prepared to give out to much info just yet until I have it up an running. I am currently building the frame and swing arm from scratch so all parts bolt in.
