I've been investigating various approaches to an ultralight assist. When I've touched my 300 gram S4020 motor after several minutes of continuous use it was...

Chris, Good to hear from you again! ... Which one are you suggesting? Are all Maxons inrunners? I haven't seriously considered inrunner motors as their Kv is...
... They have commutated brushed motors. An RE40 24V 7580 no load with an R of .317 Ohm. 317 rpm/V has an efficiency of 91%. Their gearboxes are 90% for one...
... an R of .317 Ohm. 317 rpm/V has an efficiency of 91%. That one seems to be slotless. Such designs have very high peak efficiency but seem to have limited...
I usually use the term gearbox as generic for all forms of speed reducers, SRs, but will differentiate here. I've been considering various possible approaches...
Elden, How about first stage of 5mm pitch (or even 3mm?) synchro belt and second stage of #25 chain? As you're not intending to use the motor on its own, you...

... I think a 2mm pitch GTS can be used for the first stage if a small motor is selected with 5000rpm minimum and current limiting. Adding chain and a...

Elden, et al: I think if we go to a higher voltage, higher speed, it makes sense to go to a three stage reduction. That's at least what I'm seeing for both a...

Eldon: ... I thought higher voltage was the start of this discussion? Higher voltage equates to higher speeds, and I believe current systems are stretching the...
I think I've found a very simple light way to build a system if the chainring is sufficiently large. I've been examining several different ways to build a...
Hi All, First post, loads of interesting ideas here-glad I found the list! I've been thinking for some time of building something rather like John's system and...
Welcome Arthur. I'd expected John to reply by now, but since he hasn't I'll try to answer some of your questions. If you haven't yet found it, John describes...
Hi Folks I'm back. Been very busy doing Art and having some great shows with a possibility of a big one coming up. I was shocked (pleasantly) by all the...

I noticed that the battery run time was very short even after being charged (Trickle) to something like 3 minutes. So I did some bench testing. My packs are...
Hmmmm... I wonder if super capacitor packs might be made trouble free and reliable for high numbers of charge/discharge cycles? How close are the best super...
Because their voltage is not constant, the electronics needed to use much of the capacity of super capacitors seems to mitigate against them. I've been...
