Yes, that's true. Dont you think i could lower the speed of the generator before starting the hub motor. Then the generator won't produce as much as 250w.
Or, perhaps i could buy one of these. They seem to work on many different voltages...
Wait.. I just realized that the force on the engine output shaft is about as strong as the force on the wheels pulling it all forwards. Dont you think the plastic hose coupling would spin and melt right away as for the high load?
And Mr. Sparkle. I will not have a controller as it cost quite a...
What i meant was that i believe the engines pulley wheel spins at 3600 rpm, as it has a small gearbox with the ratio 3,0 or 3,7. I am not sure exactly how much that is however the crank spins at 7000. I think 3600 rpm is the standard for small engines, or so i heard anyway.
I don't actually...
Thanks a lot Jim, you sure know allot!
I am actually going to the nearest scrap yard next week to salvage parts for my project. I have already started making the trailer, i have welded the frame so that it fits in the bottom of an old metal box. This way the electronics and motor stays...
My budget has gotten tighter after some problems with a motorcycle restoration...
Anyway, I think i might have a better solution than using SLA batteries. Or let alone any battery.
The idea is to find a small dynamo and connect it to the fuel engine and then connect a 48v regulator to it. If i...
No, it is perfectly legal. I already checked that.
No combustion engine propelled vehicle is allowed to ride unregistered and off the streets. Only 250w ebikes or segways are legal to ride without registration. The generator does not propel the bike, and therefore its still considered an...
Indeed it would be a much more affordable option. However, it would not be legal to ride offroad. And i also do not have the drivers licence.
The trailer option is however more affordable than purchasing batteries for long range. Those are extremely expensive.
And also, its always fun to take...
I want to build an electric bike that has a small lightweight power generator for maximum range. The law here in Norway prohibit gasoline powered bicycles and electric bikes are limited to a maximum effect of 250w. Recharging the battery takes a long time and therefore having a power generator...
