Dear Friends,
I plan to at some point set up an electric bike. I am enthused by technological advancements that have come about there like the lithium ion batteries and refinement of the hub motor. And that firm in the UK has a control computer that is really top notch.
I'm a bit put off by the speed though. I need at least 32mph to get my interest and the systems out there seem to fall short of that. This is where the engineering proposal comes in:
Hub motors on the front and rear. Has anyone done that? The only engineering concern that i can see is that the front and rear hubs motors have to be perfectly in sync as far as speed/output. That being accounted for take-off and cornering characteristics of the bike would be mind blowing I would think.
