Winter Quarter 2010
|
|
This quarter Alex and me are working with a few people to build the motor and battery mount. The design and fabrication will be my senior project at UW and everyone else is getting 499 credits. We're planning on cutting out the aluminum plates for the mount at the school's water jet CNC machine.
We've been learning a lot about how to fabricate such a complicated mount set up to fit the warp 8. There are new pictures in the photo gallery.
In recent news, Alex cut out the bottom of the old gas tank and painted it a new clean white color.
Our agenda for this quarter is to:
-Do FEA on the motor mount
-Determine placement for the controller, DC-DC, and charger
-Build the battery frame after I get exact specifications on how the BMS will be set up
-Fabricate the motor mount with UW's water jet

This looks amazing! You should bring this technology to Europe. How fast does this beast go?
The bike may be done some time this spring. It should have quick acceleration (on the order of ~4 second 0-60mph) and top speed (around 130 mph) depending on a few details still in the air.
