LiFeBATT Electric Drag Bike Video
Posted: Sun May 17, 2009 12:31 pm
Hi All,
Six weeks before the event, we took the decision to enter a drag bike into the Alternative Energy Drag Race 2009. So, with a new CAD file, the team got started. 18 hours after finishing the bike, we won the Zero Emission class, with what is believed to be the fastest time for a 144V bike in Europe 14.998 and 92mph.
Specification: 144V 16Ah LiFeBATT X-1P Battery Pack, 2 X LEM200 D127 Motors, Logisystems 144V 1000A Controller, purpose built drag bike frame.
I must thank Paul Brandon and Andy Irvine at Kingston Uni who did a fantastic job designing and building the bike. And my team of LiFeBATT staff, who built up the 96 cell battery pack and ancillary electronics.
Also, thanks to Andy at EVMotorCycle.org for his video editing skills.
Cheers,
Ian
