Do the fire engine drivers in the U.S. charge an appearance fee for something like that? |

The temp sensors should have been used to reduce the power/speed of the bike to avoid sudden shock or overheating. But they needed to do testing to find these issues and that costs money. One of the things I have learnt about a new bike is you take it for some short easy journeys to start with to run it in. I know at least 2 people that would strip a bike down and rebuild it before even attempting to start it, that way they would know every bolt was done up right and the bits that needed lube were lubed. A poor connection on the battery could generate some heat. --- End quote --- I wonder if, going forward, more emphasis should be put on being able to 'eject the core'? Though I suppose that if even basic temp sensors aren't even present then it's doomed. --- End quote --- I don't think any company will have battery eject for an off-the-shelf bike, too many legal issues. But having a pin you can pull in a hurry and have the battery pack fall out the bottom is probably a good idea for home built jobs. |

Please see below. But I agree that the "tobebike.com" website looks fishy as hell. No details about the company at all, not much about the products, and the "order form" is a Surveymonkey form. :-- |

As above its looks to be another POS made in the USA ;-) More specifically the frame is made in the USA (Wynnewood, Pennsylvania) and then the Chinese stuff is bolted in. The ebay listing I found states "10,000w+ TheOtherBike TOB, QS 138 70h, 72v 45ah, VOTOL Controller (not SurRon)" I wonder if this person used to sell Audio stuff in the past as I get a whiff of snake oil. 3kW motor but it can do 20kW --- Quote ---USA made frame New design Dirt bike with pedals or pegs (your choice) Changes in parts available by request --- End quote --- eBay Store is, https://www.ebay.com/str/ebike1com and it doesn't look like they have sold much for a while. https://www.tobebike.com/ registered on "2022-09-23" Now the site may seem a little shoddy but I know a few engineers of mechanical stuff and they ain't computer types. |

300mph, I hope the local county sheriff doesn't book him for speeding ::) --- Quote ---Motor: 3kw Can Do 20kw --- End quote --- Anyone know of a Mosfet that can 'do' 20kw? :o 72v 45ah is how much energy dissipation? Maybe it's all air cooled, like the smoking legs of the rider? Through the primary power bus bar: 3000W @ 72V ~= 41A 20000W @ 72V ~= 270A :bullshit: Which yields on the normal setting just under one hour of riding. Or roughly 40 miles on the flat. At max amps though, the rider has a mere 8 minutes to ride as far from civilisation before the bike turns into a mobile crematorium. A paltry 6.66 miles >:D :clap: MADE IN AMERICA |
