I’m proud to present you the very FIRST Electric bicycle drag racing ever. That happened at the Pont Rouge drag racing lane www.dragpontrouge.com using the following equipment (This setup is more dconfigured for torque(160lbs trust) and range (210km)… and not drag racing from now… a next setup is being prepared for this summer 2009 -Mongoose mtb -crystalyte hub motor 5305 on a 24″ wheel -100V 23Ah lithium battery -100V 100A controller (recorded 85A at 91V during the drag race) -143lbs total for the entire bicycle… next setup will weight much less! -battery 82% charged.. the 18% was to travel from my house to the Pont Rouge drag lane Time slip: – recorded 67.9km/h (1/4mile) -reaction: 1.064 -60FT: 3.032sec -1/8 mile 14.385sec at 66.8kph -1/4 mile time 25.093sec at 67.9km/h – head wind of 46 km/h TOO HIGH ! NEW race to come on 23 june 2009 with 2x better setup! Doc -
hay doc, I though I would share with u what i have been working on. regenrtive electric scooters and have achived it. basicly two scooters put toghter but not connected electricly and bolth have regentive costing (no freewheele) 1 pushes the other and charges and u use whatever one has the highest volatge. the other one u probly won’t belive but electric scooter without batterys.
@MrJetjoe rear motor are enough.. believe me!
Voltage is not power…. power is voltage time current =) and i use both !
watch more of my video.. you’ll see i built another one.. a DH bike that top 106kmh using 15-20kW of aceleration power
i ssay put a frount moter thats geared for the top end u only gained 1 mph from 1/8to 1/4 mile defently run the same reargear . voltage = power
you can make yourself a carbon fiber frame,handle bar and other components that individualy don’t weigh much but in summed will be considerable weight loss
what the spec ?
Wear Lycra and pedal – faster
ok nice;)
Time slip:
- recorded 67.9km/h (1/4mile)
-reaction: 1.064
-60FT: 3.032sec
-1/8 mile 14.385sec at 66.8kph
-1/4 mile time 25.093sec at 67.9km/h
- head wind of 46 km/h TOO HIGH
top speed?
that’s the point heh
heh that the point
Thats like saying…”feel the wrath of my 250w Cammy CC hub” LOL
I figured it would be! How many volts and AH is required to successfully move one of those mothers? I only have 20AH 48v. Thats my most powerful. Thanks.
i most have missed it,what was you time and speed?
Naw man, I’m proud of him for achieving this. Plus 25km/h is really slow, slower than many speed limits i’ve seen for e-bikes. Also, racing is not for the rich, I can beg to differ… Although Dr.Bass’s Bike here would be rather expensive…. I’m sure he saves a lot on the batteries!
Range = Lots of batteries and/or low aerodynamic profile. It’s as simple and tried and trued as that. Convincing people they need to go less than satisfying speeds is not convincing in a Western country like the US, but it might be elsewhere in other places that don’t obsess as much about time.
Yes it is.. a Crystalyte 5305 mounted on a 24″ wheel
thats pretty cool, is that motor brushless?
Dr.Bass : To save the planet all we need is 25kph and lots of torque to go up steep slopes. Long steep slopes.
The bicycle should look like a regular bicycle…light and safe.
Drag racing is a hobby for rich countries with lots of resources.
Range ,range, range and torque….that´s the avenue you should explore for us.
Congratulations !
Andres fron Santiago, Chile.
awsome !!!!
:):):):)
I think your 1/4 time is faster than my car’s hehe
Can’t wait to see the next race you will get more speed recorded than this.
feel the wrath of my goldenmotor!!
nice vid doc
