Re: Let's Build a Hybrid Cycle
problem I see with purely rim-mounted driving force is how low a gear ratio that's creating, seems I'd need to really pump those motors to get any decent speed(heavyer rims WOULD help kill any "squaking" but I don't think that'd be an issue). My logic train goes that by having a larger portion of the rim as an effective motive area, I can probably get the best of all the drive ranges...least I hope so!
as to power concerns ,I was thinking I'd tap a capacitor array for that; good cycles on caps, and they just might stand up to the -40 weather we experience here in winterpeg better than batteries
