Thyron Van Vurren (Taz) rode Voltron Evo in the eFXC series at Queensland Raceway for round 5 of the FX-Superbikes, October 28-30 2016. There were only two entries for electric bikes this round, so the organsers put us in with the pro-twins and naked bike class - a rag-tag bunch of bikes ranging from Aprilias, KTMs, FZRs, Ducatis and a Vincent 1600. This is onboard footage of race 5 (Sunday Race 2) where Taz set a new electric lap record of 1:15.6. 600s are pulling 1:12s around here, so we're pretty impressed with these times. As Voltron was racing with a 6 kWh battery we had to pull in after 4 race laps, but the future of motorsports is blindingly obvious. Check out the wheelie down the start/finish straight :)

Dat wheelie though, and the lap!

@OVER-bENGINEERED 6 лет назад

Wow. A 6kWh battery is about a sixth of a gallon of gasoline. Excellent work.

It's fantastic

WOW , negative amps , is that regenerative braking on a race track . holy smokes .

@ribbit876 7 лет назад

it's a problem we deal with and the reason the slipper clutch was invented. Not to mention auto throttle bliping etcetera. I race an 01 Suzuki and deal with this myself. it's a problem racing because you can't turn the bike till the rear is settled. when Bramma was racing here in the AFM I believe Eric Bostrum had turned the regen off for this reason. I was surprised when I saw Chris used it . For the most part it looks like it works well enough. Maybe more compression damping on the forks for tracks with long straights to keep more weight on the back tire .

@ribbit876 7 лет назад

looks like regen is locking the back tire at the end of the straight messing with turn entry.

@PaulWayper 7 лет назад

I always thought that pure regenerative braking could never lock the rear wheel up - since when the wheel isn't moving it's generating no power and therefore has no resistance. Active power deceleration could lock up the wheel, but to my knowledge none of the standard controllers offer that. +Chris Jones?

@ribbit876 7 лет назад

I sort of misspoke. It's not a lock Per,say but the back wheel with no weight on it starts slipping (or hopping ) under regen. The wheel is still turning or trying to .

@PaulWayper 7 лет назад

Well, under heavy braking on any motorcycle the weight comes off the rear wheel, so it's more likely to start sliding, especially if also applying rear brake. I've done that numerous times.

Hi Paul, the regen is only set to about 10 percent of the maximum forward torque. So about 56 Nm. Any more than this you will definitely lock it up. But some regen is important for steadying the bike especially through flip flops. If it freewheeled you wouldn't be able to adjust speed with a chopped throttle alone. You can set the PM150DZ up to do regen through a pot, but its just one more thing to think about.

Will this motorcycle be a production model???

@jonescg 5 лет назад

Would love to take it to production, but sadly the market for $50,000 electric superbikes is quite limited.
