Hi E-guys('n girls)

I saw this and thought it was pretty cool:

It looks like the large rear sprocket is mounted right onto a 3+ speed hub for better power range. Cool eh?

Here's the article I found on that bike: Here

And the builders other bikes: Here
 
Thats my buddie RWP's Cortina.
the power packadge is way too strong for the internal gears of the sturmmey-archer or nexus 3 speed hubs.
the reduction unit is a production model form member Recumpence here. sweet bike for sure. It melted the motor at the willow springs race :(

That was # 130 at my Willow Springs race on June 18th.

The bike and rider were pretty fast but it burned up like most of
the other 9 ebikes.
Only the 2 slowest ebikes finished.

For a fair overview, what's an estimate on the number of ICE bikes that died or didn't finish?
Click to expand...
There were about 76 riders.

One ebike did not race on the track
so
6 out of 9 eBikes did not finish.
At least one was a tire failure #111

There were maybe a half dozen?? gas bikes that had
some kind of problem.
Out of the 67 gas bikes there weren't any
major engine failures on the track that I know about.
I see #25 Morini and #75 DNF

#5 Sportscarpat had problems with his 9 hp Morini and didn't
race it in the final race. His Morini's were very slow and he left early,
didn't even stay until the prize ceremony......

#6 CCC 11 hp HF had a chain derail while battling it out for first with #8 magrider.
#81 AGK the 20 hp HF had a front tire problem the last race but lapped
the 2nd place Morini in the previous race.
 
Great Breakdown MBR. Most importantly, nobody was hurt(ego's don't count :p[well, not as much])

Dang, I'll bet the two E-bikes that finished weren't overcooking(amping?) half as much, eh?

I can see this coming soon...

*Announcers voice*

"At this years race,
Introducing quick change motors....
Having sparks? Pull over and park...

While the burnt one has a Thermite reaction...
Throw on a Fresh One...
And get back in the Action!!!

Sunday, Sunday, ...Sunday!!"

Whoo! \,,/

Cool, E-race-bikes are really taking off with power-to-weight. About once a month I see articles about 'improved efficiency' of Batts.

hey mb'r, I put "19 t shirt' in google image search, and this came up.
