.... back in green and feeling great ....
Reminds me of the numerous times during my testing when it went WFO, and had to slam the e-stop. Lesson learnt: if you're handy with electronics, make some fancy gauges, do not assume booksmart electronics skills will in any way translate to power electronics skills!
Looks and sounds pretty nice though eh!

In the not too distant future, batteries will be part of the body and not even in some container!
And maybe they will also be self-charging solar powered if they can combine the spray-on battery tech with solar cell tech...

eeew, what a waste of power, plus it'll sound tinny unless you use big heavy expensive speakers that'll reduce performance all just to stroke the noise pollution ego.
one of the benefits of electric would stop people who moved into a race track area (and somehow didnt know) from complaining about the noise.....but that's really a problem best solved with a kick to the teeth in my very own opinion.
at the port nelson street race they run the circuit anti-clockwise, it's far more dangerous as there's less run off on some hairy corners, but at least the people of nelson dont have the exhausts pointing in their direction as the bikes go down the straight....
Ignore previous post I just read your other one....![]()
You don't get to be an old dog without learning a few tricks.
Shorai Powersports batteries are very trick!
Very true tigadee for the next bike the motor an batteries are the frame so no need to double up on weight by making a frame and then having to make a battery box an brackets to hold them.
This is always an option too
not sure how it'd go walking across the road with a 10mm spanner in one hand and a 12mm spanner in the other though haha.
totally removing the batteries would be good, but you'd be stuck for parking and going off the beaten track (unless a smaller battery was used?)
OR! BUILD A RACE TRACK WITH IT! rougue, what would the power to weight ratio of your bike be if you didn't have batteries?
No way! a brushless DC weighs about 25 kilo, stripped down alloy frame maybe 80 kilo? 105kg with 200hp![]()

bros with an empty tank would be the thick end of 160? 180? and have 0hp haha
No I think the feasibility study for EV that every manufacturer went through started and stopped with "if we dont make one, how will it effect sales"
I dont think EV will be anything more than a brief fad in the car world and a neat project in motorcycle terms.
what are the rego laws for EV bikes? I might build one this summer after I've built my valve amp, stripped the rover V8, rewired a zypher and mucked around with raspberry pi's and micro's for data logging on the race bike...then I might make an EV....lol
:faceplam: I meant neither of them will produce any power at all. There is going to be a lot of weight required to receive the RF power which (similarly to the empty tank) can't just be ignored. Also 150kW received would probably mean over a megawatt? (I can't recall the efficiency, but I'm sure it is pretty shit) being transmitted (and that is assuming only the portion with the bike over it is active). With that sort of power, well, you wouldn't want to ride with a cock piercing...
Personally, I want to hear a lot more about the plans from roguenp which are being realised, than the unrealistic 'what if' ones...

haha oh right, I get ya, yeah I guess you'd need a sodding big inductor, but you could probably work out a way to build it into the rims or something, my intuition tells me that an inductor would weigh less than batteries, but I might be wrong, I genuinely cbf doing the calcs on that one....
