Electrified Downhill bike

ES is back up fellas. Server issues.


The bike should wheelie under power just fine. The wheelbase is short enough and I will have about 5 horse on tap. Probably won't see me popping wheelies though, I need back brakes first.

The stealth bike is pretty cool, but they are very pricey. You need an 18 fet Infineon controller and a Xlyte 5305 on 72v to have a setup similar, about $800 before batteries. Divorced drivelines like mine are MUCH lighter for the power (25lb vs 8lb), about the same price and power, and are much easier to service.
