would this be a good conversion for a direct drive?

Very cheap for a 3-6Lipo 120A esc?

I have two of those ESCs.. they cog a lot up to 25% throttle(no matter what you do, load or no load..).... after that it's smooth sailing... other than that, the ESC works great... programming is easy also...

Sike, it's 745.7 watts(round to 746) is one horsepower... just so you know, it's a very handy number, I use it a lot.

Aaah OK. Thanks for the info ZPB.

That's still a whopping outrunner. I wonder how fast it can carry my butt on a bicycle?

I wonder if these figures would plug into the speed calculator? LOL

Mount this motor up where the pedals normally are. Then get that 6 geared step sprocket that mounts on the rear rim, only mount it directly on the motor shaft. Then it would be easy to find the gearing that the motor likes. Even better, would be a setup that could be shifted "on the fly"

Chain drive and run it off Dewalt 36 volt packs. It should boogie.

Ummmm............This doesn't sound like something I could make the Darwin Awards with does it?

LOL

You will need a killer steering servo and a good gyro to make the bike stand up. However it would be worth it to have an rc bicycle!

Ummmm, This Bike will have a human Pilot. ME!

Dual steering servos, a left and a right each having ten apendages.

And I hope my semicircular canals aren't so full of fluid that I lose my equalibrium. LMAO

I have a 26" bike with a speedo on it.

Earlier in the spring, I used a 3520 outrunner on it. Made a special mount with a rubber wheel that would power the front tire.

My "Top Speed" run resulted in it carrying my 180 pound butt at 28 mph on 4S Lipo.

Range was about 4 miles on 4000mah.

28mph, is not slow on a bicycle, thats for sure!

My current 2 wheeler is capable of over 200mph, but I have only seen 195 so far. Had to back off as the road was coming to an end, and I did not want to!
