... snip ... snip Too low for what? Lower will be easier to balance. To test this, you can make a very simple prototype from a kid's scooter and try it out. ...

Eric, ... It would be interesting to find out precisely which bikes with low Centre Of Gravity didn't handle great when turning and in what circumstances. ...
... I've just uploaded a graphic to the Files section of the FF group page called "EVFF Layout.jpg". You may find it interesting. I thought I'd uploaded it...
... This is not borne out by experience, though if you go extremely low, perhaps there is a potential problem. What "extremely low" is I cannot say. Static ...
... Looks a reasonable layout to me. It might be difficult to keep the chassis and bodywork mass down to 150 lbs. These things soon add up. The difference in...
... Not really. It doesn't use engine power (if that's what you meant). The original (patented) eco system uses a large wheel that pushes a couple of levers...
... I remember that discussion, interesting to re-read it*. I stand by what I said. Suspension is a *factor* in high-sides. Maybe not the main factor, but...

... Eudora, archived messages and search. A working memory helps. ;-) I've got this list back to 17/10/2001 before which I had a disk failure combined with...
... I know. I'd like to try, though. I think with a properly triangulated tube-and-sheet frame and a lightweight body of vacbagged FRP I could get there....
... Comstar wheels ... ? ... I assume you're referring to stored energy (energy density of gasoline vs batteries) rather than the rate at which it can be...
... Which are? ... Correct. Auf wiedersehen! ______________________________________________________ "..Um..Something strange happened to me this morning." "Was...
... No, not the approx. 10kg of fuel (full), just the tank. I weighed a spare tank, but forget what it weighed, and it is too cold and wet to go and weigh it...
Which is lighter? Well, much like the length of a piece of string I suppose that all depends, doesn't it? If you are willing to spend the money you could...
With regard to the comment that AC drives are lighter, but need higher voltage (eg 110V AC) Standard industrial VFDs (variable frequecy drives) are basically a...
Common DC drive setups are from 48VDC (motorcycles, golf carts, fork lifts) to 144VDC (most on-road vehicles) to 200 or 300VDC for high-end applications...
... There's no problem running AC drives from batteries. It's done all the time. The problem is getting the voltage high enough to be worth it. Most automotive...
... Why not? The fuel itself roughly equates to the energy stored in the batteries (or perhaps the chemicals producing that energy), and the tank roughly...

... Sounds good. Thanks! Auf wiedersehen! ______________________________________________________ "..Um..Something strange happened to me this morning." "Was it...
... What understatement? It's plain truth. Of course a motor rated for 96V at 100A cont. would fail if run at 144V and 600A continuously day in and day out for...
... [Re: Low C of G] ... Sounds like you've been receiving your opinions from people who haven't actually built anything Eric. Facts available on this list...
