RACING A 96V ELECTRIC MOTORCYCLE! Can my 72V bike keep up? 

Let's go! 8kw for the win 💯

I had to tune my footscooter down to 30kw . It was too violent at 40kw . Just too crazy ! It has 2 fardriver 84530s I had to rebuild the front end because it exploded with 12kw . The single motorcycle fork was destroyed !

I have been riding sports bikes for about 20 years, but these ebikes are so much fkn fun lol. Because they are stealthy and nimble, the power delivery is smooth but alarming at the same time 😅 I absolutely love riding them.

​​@@eonreeves4324 To me it's weird because when your in sport mode there's no drag slowing you down like there would be if you were in a low gear and red lining it.

Forreal! Real motorcycle feel almost like a Honda Rebel

Bro. You have no clue what another fardriver, and a front motor would do to that bike ! It's like x7.5 quicker ! No joke ! I don't understand the science of it ,but my 40kw foot scooter has proof enough! It pulls so hard ! I had to beef up with big pit bike forks . The last front end exploded on acceleration.

@@Vmaxfodder I know and exactly what you mean, honestly that’s too much unless that bike is made to drag race only … 40kw is nuts! Plus you will be pulling much from the battery 😅

@@rolandroland1485 it's a foot scooter ! 660 capable

Probably Maguras but the Regen is so strong with the Fardriver, upgrading the whole brake system is almost not necessary.

@@JB360_NYC true but if the bike shuts off for some reason while you’re going fast, could be lead to a crash. Maybe get front maguras only with bigger rotors

@@khanrides for sure if I'm going Maguras I'm going 220 on both

Exactly! That's what I said 💯

Seconded. I flipped over mine doing barely over 30 because I got them riding through sand on the road with off-road tires ended up with a few injuries and bought a helmet and damper as my lesson takeaway now I’m building a super sport motorcycle with a 4kw/20kw dual motor and probably a custom made 96v 60+ah battery (haven’t decided on amperage yet). The damper is a must e-bikes tend to get really squirrelly at high speeds because of the light weight and high center of gravity

That's a good point! We definitely will have to test his speed without them.

Sal sells them in his shop actually. If you're interested in one he can totally sell you one. www.e-streetbikes.store/

Oh yea nice and wide open over on the NJ side. Sal is going to be getting a new battery but my bomber will probably stay as is with a few aesthetic touches here and there.

@@JB360_NYC it sounded like Sal needed the battery but yours sounded like the build was basically done. Looking forward to eventually seeing it!

My controller I'm running is a Fardriver 72680. The battery is a Stealth Bomber Molicel pack (20S18p) from E-Street Bikes: 50ah, 650a peak and 200a continuous.

That is usually normal especially for the QS motors. What I've seen people do is apply heat syncs onto the outside of the motor to help regulate the heat. They use these: a.co/d/0AYg0AM

Get a bigger motor

My bike is running 8kw nominal and his bike is running 5kw nominal.

For range higher voltage and for power higher wattage. But honestly I would choose higher voltage ⚡⚡

Nice! A topic for discussion on a possible podcast 🤔❓

@@ErockRodz let's do it!

​@@JB360_NYC wattage is just voltage x amps right? More amps = more torque More voltage = faster wheel rotation The amperage is like the opening diameter of a hose and the voltage is the flow rate. Like a garden hose with water flowing out at 50mph or a fire hose with water flowing out at 50mph. 😅

@@eonreeves4324 not necessarily in certain situations. With higher voltage setups, people tend to get more range because less amps are needed to create a certain amount of watts. In Sals case, his 5000w motor is not as demanding on his 96v pack as it would his 72v pack.

Yes sir!

@@JB360_NYC ok thx

Yup, the only thing base that is stock is the frame and battery box.

@@JB360_NYC Are you guys going to do a feature on it?

@@notsoanonymous2458 oh yea, it'll be featured on Sal's channel hopefully by Sunday 🙌🏻
