Motor mounting

Posted by alex on August 30, 2009 at 11:22 PM

So going with the Warp 8 means we are going to have some difficulty mounting this beast in the frame. Direct mounting it to the front sprocket means the outboard side of the motor would stick out the right side of the bike about 5 inches or so. So we are planning on a mount that would hold the motor more in the center ofthe bike, with an intermediate shaft between the motor driveshaft and the rear wheel. This allows us to use 2 sets of gears, which results in more fine tuning of the final gear ratio as well as allowing us to usea smaller rear sprocket (as opposed to the huge rear sprockets found on many direct drive e bikes). Pics can be seen in the photo gallery.

Sorry. I put 'em back up. We might be doing a forward facing setup with bevel gears. Shhhh :)
