    Thinking about getting another e-dirt bike: Which One?

    Yes that was me at Pala. Nice to connect a link to a face. Mark911's article is quite informational also. The battery heat and size, and weight are the 3 major challenges in electrifying a moto bike. My friend in Florida has been working thru these challenges. Unfortunately none of the majors...

    Thinking about getting another e-dirt bike: Which One?

    I want to just say that this bike isn't ready for production yet. Nothing is 100 percent ready for the market. If they want to buy now, they would be helping helping the development. But, everything is more expensive now than the "KIT"s will be in the future. Hopefully he will have the web site...

    Wow, your battery build looks so professional. And so does the bike. I wish I had the resources of a machine shop. let alone that spot welder. Mine is a garage build. Why going away from the Headway to 18650? Weight and size. Just rough estimates to get 72V 675A out of the 40152S's was...

    Mark, Thanks for the information. You made me think hard on all the different current charts out there, and special charts for every application. There are really none for our world. There is one that refers to Ampacity for Nickel and all metals as well as resistance...

    Mark911, I have used Lipo cells on my KTM for about 8 year., Two different packs, first was Calb 40AH prismatics 10C for 48V 400A, now I have Headway 40152s 3 groups of 16. Both combos were about 52-54 lbs, but the 40152s give me 45AH but have a 15C rating for a total of 675A. My KTM is...

    Thanks for the reply and great info. I am running 20s7p for 140 cells per pack. I tried many different methods of spot welding for my bus bars, but could not get the size and material I wanted to work with spot weld. I wanted copper for the conductivity and lower heat build up, but in...
