Haven’t tested higher speeds yet. Due to orientation motor needs to run in reverse which is the lowest speed, about a fast walk. Need to reverse polarity on the motor and hall sensor and test the higher speeds.
It might be a god idea to put the motor in front and the battery where the motor is now. Then the sprocket/tightining wheel wil not Get so Munch presure under driving forward. Sorry for my bad english:-)
Build a bracket and lift your motor up off the chassis. Put a large chain sprocket on it. Pop off that secondary clutch but keep the jack shaft and put a smaller sprocket. You should be able to get 35 to 40 km an hour out of it which is about the same as the original gas motor. I wouldn't go much more because after that these sleds just tear themselves apart. They weren't designed for high power or speeds.
I'm looking at like 20kw, 765w to a hp and even the lowest power sleds are 12 hp so you should be going for at least 10kw for that. I don't think that motor will last long sadly, loved the video though!
You could very well be right. Initially For this version was looking for something cheap and easy that would just move the sled. Will be looking to up the power and performance for v2.
Speak into the damned microphone! I have my computer connected through a home stereo amplifier. I have the volume cranked, and I am missing many words. Learn how to set an adequate volume when recording a RUclips video.
Awesome work! I was just sitting here thinking about doing this with an elan.
So was I be nice if it would go faster. I'd like to be able to use Milwaukee mx batteries to power one .
The original EV conversion was usually done with a forklift motor, so thats worth looking into.
Well done and very educational. Thanks!
Ditch the cvt designed for the 2stroke gas engine and go direct from motor to jack shaft. You're losing energy in that setup
I had this exact idea with a 70s Era skidoo, u can't figure our what kind of electric motor too use and from what, can anyone help?
Where did you get the pulley from that you put on the motor?
Topp speed? Any problem overheating the motor going fullspeed/ upphill?

Worth a try!
