Electric Ninja

There have been some pretty significant changes on ZX-E. We're going with dual k91-4003 motors now. I completely redesigned the motor mount and managed to incorperate the battery mount into it.

Here's a solidworks model Alex drew up of the bike frame with the motor mount design inside it:

Finite Element Analysis:y

We were able to build a mockup of the design seen in this picture. Notice how the motor mount and battery mount are incorperated into one piece. The motors are also offset for a few reasons, to keep the cg of the motors towards the center of the bike, and to reduce the forces on the motor shafts.

I also have one of the earlier versions of the Synkromotive controller we'll be using in the bike:

The project is really shaping up and we've finally settled on a design that is simple and effective.
