      I agree! It looks like this thing would truly shine on a track with major elevation changes (like 1000 feet). You could always go to an overdrive ratio on the final drive. Make sure your ramp up rate is maxed out on the controller.

    Man you do electric builds so much different than everyone else I love it. I particularly love how you made it work to still have a gearbox that you can shift. Adds some of that raw feeling back to it which you really need without the engine noises. Honestly I feel like if you made the design a little better you could sell them

    • @CaseyBDook

      This is old school. This is how it was done in the 80s with actual cars.
      40 years later it's still epic.
      Electric vehicles have come a long way, but this kind of ingenuity is still necessary.
      White zombie is a drag racer that got rubber in all five gears. Electric drive. Datsun 510.
      From chat gpt because I am lazy AF.
      The White Zombie is a modified 1972 Datsun 1200 electric drag racing car that gained fame for its impressive performance. It was converted to electric power by John Wayland and became known for its incredible acceleration and speed. The White Zombie helped to popularize electric vehicles in drag racing circles and demonstrated the potential of electric power in high-performance applications.

  • @WireWeHere
    @WireWeHere 7 месяцев назад +20

    A cushioned rear hub might help with some programming of the ramp if it is or can be made available. Another thought option to test is setting an idle speed for the electric motor to force using the clutch as intended. A bonus being it shouldn't be prone to stalling.

    Half circle thing you're unsure of is Transmission vent/overflow it's a rubber grommet and a hose on the bike. Since the Transmission oil warms up it must be vented so to not create transmission case pressure.

    • @alexmigneault

    @Goatee_yay 7 месяцев назад +11

    My manual DR650 ev conversion has that slop in the dogs too. The rubber cush drive helps alot. BUT the best thing to do was adjust the controller's rpm (speed) PID loop to limit the rate at which the motor rpm can ramp up. This will only slow acceleration if you go too far. Finding the point right before that is a sweet spot for not slamming the dogs or limiting accel.
    You can also tune the current (torque) PID loop.
    I'm actually working on putting an encoder on my shift drum so I can have gear specific PIDs, no lift shift, etc.

      2 guards I believe in when it comes to moving stuff, chain guards and grinder guards. Both are common for dudes to encounter and failure can be catastrophic. Just takes getting stung by a wasp and torquing a cut disc to send a piece into your mid section. Chains are just nasty when they fail period, without a guard.

  • @Dylan-zj1lz
    @Dylan-zj1lz 7 месяцев назад +12

    With how the gearbox is setup (a standard motorcycle), which is designed not to start from 0 when in gear, the engine is always spinning, maybe if you could have the electric motor have a constant rpm? So when you have let off the throttle, the motor will idle at say 200-500 rpm? Maybe higher if needed, but that way it would force you to use the clutch and allow for a much smoother launch.

    • @TheDustyShredder
      @TheDustyShredder 6 месяцев назад +2

      Actually, 60 rpm is sufficient for this task. The whole point is to maintain dog gear contact while limiting wasted energy, why use higher rpms when they require more power?

    • @DarkAttack14
      @DarkAttack14 4 месяца назад +1

      A gearbox does not care if you start from 0 RPM or start at a normal Idle RPM.. its effectively an input and output regardless of your starting RPM

    • @noname-gp6hk
      @noname-gp6hk 4 месяца назад

      ​@@DarkAttack14A dogbox has a lot of internal slop on purpose. Yeah the transmission will output power based on the input power, but without a slight load on the dogs there's going to be some lash. If the electric engine had even a low minimum RPM as opposed to 0RPM, then the dogs would be kept in contact and you'd have much smoother takeoff.

    Very cool stuff Chris! I think you can probably program your controller to ramp in power more gradually to get rid on that drive train thump. The fact that you can flat-shift it through the gears is pretty awesome. It looks like it moves right along in 6th gear, so probably if you had a second battery pack and upped the voltage a bit, you'd have a real ripper. Glad to see all your gearing and the trans work as intended. That was a LOT of machining and welding to get where you are now.😄👍👍👍

    Nice, with a proper transmission like this, you could get away with a 12v motor and keep it at it's most efficient or powerful rpm band. EV manufacturers don't like using them because of wear (the constant torque is somehow worse than the beating of powerstrokes) but for a motorcycle or go kart, it should be perfect because maintenance is pretty cheap and easy to DIY.

    You're a talented man, love to see this kinda stuff....as a fabricator for many yrs these videos dont do justice to the real time it takes to fab such parts...
    Its Great to see guys still wanting to fab to go fast...
    Once again amazing job...

    That thing is bad-ass, it had to be doing about sixty miles an hour. HELL YEAH I definitely like it. I have to say It looks like an absolute blast for sure. it has a close ratio gear box, it reminds me of a Formula one car when you were shifting it. a person wouldn't want to make any fast inputs into the steering at speed? they would be facing back in the direction they came from faster than the blink of an eye.

    Chain tensioner may help the slop from the chain on the trans. Looks like a blast to drive!

    up to you if you try this ; use the output of the transmission as the input and direct couple with a spyder ,top gear (6th) becomes first and all the other gears are over drive gears.
    if you do try this expect the case to break since it wasn't designed to be operated that way.
    with the amount of torque that electric vehicles have this would be the only point of having a gear box imo ,the torque of electric vehicles is why most peeps are direct driving them with out gear boxes ,they simply dont need gear reduction to get them up to 1:1 speed. the only advantage i see in having a reduction is lower amp draw for longer battery life per run.
    something else to consider that i dont see anyone else doing is a 2nd battery pack for the return home when the primary dies.

    I have an ebike of similar functionality. I found short shifting about halfway up the rpm range is where all the power was. Take a look at VESC if you haven't already. If you can get through the setup process you can get a boat load more torque on the low end and with the foc implementation you can push your highest rpm up (30-50%).

    You are talented & you should focus on brand building,sponsorships,paid advertising & on line merchandise to optimise your financial benefit,im sure with more funds at your disposal would allow you to create even more powerful projects,I think more content of you using the builds once they are completed will be popular with subscribers

    If you could eventually make helical cut gears to swap out with the spur cut gears it could cut down on the sound by a bit, not sure by how much.

    You got to play with the final drive gearing.
    Go a little bigger on the drive side sprocket and adjust the axle sprocket to be 1 to 1.

    For a split second as u pull off and go into each gear it kinda sounds like a f1 car sound, can't wait to see it in the bike as I love dirt bikes but looks a lot of fun in the kart
