| Vehicle | 1979 Honda CB750R The Super sport was found in the back room of a local Motorcycle shop. We will have set it up as the Factory sponsored race bikes of the late 70's with correct fiberglass and tank. It was street legal, but is now being raced in the Historic Moto Gran Prix. | ||
| Motor | Motenergy ME1003 Permanent Magnet DC This ME1003 is a Brush-Type, Permanent Magnet DC motor with very high efficiency. Capable of 11.5 KW continuous and 23 KW for 1 minute. For voltages from 12 to 72 VDC input and 200 amps continuous (400 amps for 1 minute). | ||
| Drivetrain | 420 Chain drive (4.2:1) with Motenergy's new ME1003 motor. | ||
| Controller | Kelly KDH12600D,24-120V,600A I would have liked to continue using Alltrax, but their controllers voltage stop at 72 (90 max) and we are increasing our capacity to 105 volts. Kelly,s Controllers have gotten better with the newer line of Opto-isolated units. I will report my findings after the first race of 2013. | ||
| Batteries | 160, 3.32 Volt, Lithium Iron Phosphate We have this in a 26S5P configuration at the moment but as of 10/2012 we are now racing this motorcycle. We will adding 30 more cells and upgrading several other items. | ||
