Brushless motorcycle

But it's not 1/5 scale: It's 1/1 scale!!! :p

There's 2 videos in here. Take THAT gas powered cycles!!! :cool:

[adamzty]

That is awsome :wow: I wonder how much it would cost to build that

[cpee]

wow lots a dollars

[balang_479]

wowowwowowow...... incredible...

So A123 packs are that good?

[ElectricThunder]

I've seen that before. They have electric dragsters running around too (I think there's one that uses the Killacycle's setup; it runs 9's...:D)

Something to note here- these are brushed motors being run with these setups; can you IMAGINE a 1:1 brushless setup with some ridiculously heavy duty Kokam lipos? :eek:

[vaderbxman]

That's awesome that an electric motorcycle can do that.

And he can make a pass on less than 5 cents of electricity!!

SWEET!!!!!!!!

This one big battery pack.

Oh my crap... that thing is HUGE. wander how much it weighs.

[vaderbxman]

ZOMG that's HUGE!!!!! Put a mamba max brushless in that thing!!! :D

[ElectricThunder]

They should use some Kokam cells just for kicks. That'd be interesting; comparing lipo versus the A123 Li-ion in real world testing. Lipos have a distinct weight advantage, and a slight voltage advantage at peak charge. Would make for some pretty fast electric vehicles though...:D

More importantly though....where's the brushless technology in these suckers (the killacycle is brushed:()?!?!:D

Feel bad for the poor guy who had to solder on the tabs :eek:

[ducati777]

Bwahaha, that burnout sounded wicked. Powerdrill on crack!

[Vato Loco]

I got a123's 2s2p packs for my rusty pede, now to hit those speeds like that bike................Hmmmm twin 2s2p li-ions? ahhhhhhhhhh might just cook my MM5700, would be cool though!

I saw that a while back. Its prety cool. It can do several passes on a charge.

I am pretty sure its not brushless though unless they have updated it. I think its got a big old brushed motor in there.

OSU's Buckeye Bullet. its designed to do 300 MPH and as you can see, the thing is pretty much made out of batteries

theyre going for the electric speed record

[vaderbxman]

OMG how much does that thing weigh? And what kind of peak charger do they use? :cool:
