    Stark Battery Tech Thread

    Super caps actually can have a very high power output but your right the energy density is very low in comparison to batteries. Super capacitors have been used in some hybrid drivetrain designs as they can be a good buffer between a gas engine and an electric drivetrain for certain...

    Stark Battery Tech Thread

    In 2024 Nordic Nano was seeking 20m funding to build its pilot line. Shortly after donut labs invested in them for an undisclosed amount of money. Based on what I was able to find they are in the process of now building a full scale production line based off the learnings of the pilot line. My...

    Stark Battery Tech Thread

    It appears donut lab is using Nordic nanos battery tech on a pilot line in a facility they are working on bringing to higher capacities. Not entirely sure but it seems like their solid state battery may actually be a super capacitor which makes me wonder if the donut battery is a mixed super...

    Woods riding

    I think one important thing to note is it's a lot easier to ride over your head on an MX track compared to single track. At least that's been my experience here in the NE.

    The mini track I have been ripping in my back yard. The house came with a horse arena that I turned into jumps lol.

    AMA and Electric Motorcycles in AMA/FIM races

    Could be usable energy assuming max thermodynamic efficiency of gas combustion or an established and more reasonable efficiency value. There are a lot of details that could get worked through but the point would be to limit on energy instead of power. Let the teams figure out how they want to...

    AMA and Electric Motorcycles in AMA/FIM races

    An idea I had a while back would be caping classes based on stored energy limits. It could even the playing field and create unique strategy to racing. An example would be to cap stored energy at 10kWh. For electrics this would be a simple battery capacity thing and for gas bikes it would...
