CVT Nuvinci/ worthless for hill climbing

[Zomby Builder]

NuVinci Rocks

I have had a NuVinci for over 2 years now. It has never slipped. I shift gears while climbing the steepest hills. It still has guts/geared to go after my Honda 50 maxes out. I don't know where you dreamed that it is worthless. It is obvious to me that you have never used one. I had a GP460 powering one that was the BOMB. (Over 4 HP)

Did you title this thread to just get some attention? Or WHAT??? Check out my pic gallery. Set it up proper & it will climb a WALL!! No matter how fat you are.

ZB - the OP doesn't seem to be particularly open to input.

Indeed.

The Nuvinci gear-hubs for bicycles are worse than useless, they can't handle more than 26 gear-inches of torque with human legs meaning that any motor will make them slip

Indeed.

If the HT makes a comeback -- & a big reliable comeback I would build another with a SBP kit driven by the NV. This would be the S***!!!!

All right I getting one! Been looking and reading on this subject everywhere. If no one has broken one? This sounds like just the ticket!

jawnn, Dave Staton reported that he used a r/s EHO35 / nuvinci bicycle to pull a pickup truck across a parking lot, from a standing start.

bulletproof... I dont know how many hundreds of miles I have on mine. Its mated to a sick bikes jackshaft and neither show any signs of wear AT ALL.

I believe the story about the truck...

and the guy that said the torque doesn't transfer through a fluid obviously doesn't know jack about this thing.

 

[jawnn]

still nothing

SLIPPING is not the issue here, what I am asking for is photos of how to use this thing at its maximum torque, which can't be as much as I need.

speed verses grade by weight?
