Re: Let's Build a Hybrid Cycle

Well if you mount the motor closer to the hub you get less torque. And it will probably be harder to build as it would have to be smaller.

Chinese are quite far as far as electric bikes go. I am not sure if technology comes from there, but at least they are producing them on large scale.

Motors on the rim may have low gear but at least they have better torque. And typical electrical motors operate at high rpm so the motor mounted at the rim has at least comparable rotor/stator speed.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
