Just a few progress pics for the curious. It's not a huge amount of progress but at least it feels like the project is starting to move forward! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)
This is a pic of the taper lock hub. It's the reason for my question about flywheel distance. I have about 5 cm of play here so I needed to know where the flywheel was SUPPOSED to end up. Thank you Demick for the fantastic data dump you gave me! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) The amazing thing about taper lock hubs is that you can remove the bolts completely and the thing still won't come off! Attached image(s)

When you let off the pedal the motor doesn't stop. In fact it will keep spinning for a VERY long time. You just aren't ADDING any energy. Since there is no compression like a gas engine it will just spin forever. Actually thats a difference in how you drive an electric car correctly. You get it up to speed and then take your foot off the pedal. It feels like you have cruise control. When the car slows a bit you just give it a little pedal and repeat.

Oh and on the subject of shifting.... You don't have to use the clutch at stop lights since you can't stall! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool_shades.gif) You don't HAVE to use the clutch to go again either (I do though.) |
