Finnish firm, RMK, debuts electric motorcycle with hubless rear wheel
- Thread starter robmack
- Start date
Initially I was going to omit the truth but I may tell them. They asked if my sportster had mods, I told them that my sportster had very little stock because it had allot of damage when I bought it and I'd repaired it with aftermarket parts. They asked me what the replacement value would be, I came up with a number on the spot and that was the end of it. Lot's of insured bikes out there with modifications.

All those AA batteries aside whoa Billy Lane. J.S.
This is what I think is needed for electric bikes to be more accessible to the general population.
Humping 30 lb batteries out of a rack from neck height improves things?
I'd rather have charging racks at convenient locations (like Bixby racks) where people without easy access to power (eg apartment dwellers) can charge at work or near a subway stop.

Do you even lift bro....
to be fair tho, if that petite girl can do it most guys shouldn't have an issue.Sure there is room for improvement. But as @DownUnder stated, if a petite girl can do it most people should be able to.
Not only that, there’s better ways to do it…but this is a starting point. If range is an issue I’d prefer to swap a battery than sit for 20-30min waiting for a charge (assuming no one is using the charger).
He’ll pay someone to sit there and swap them out, or set up manned kiosks that people ensure there are charged batteries.
For short range vehicles, I still like the idea of supercaps. I'm not sure if they will be viable though. Basically connect to the charger, send a lighting bolt into the cap and ride away. Charging time of seconds. It would take longer to authorize payment and complete the required safety checks prior to releasing the lighting bolt. Put a big cap in the charging station so the grid sees a relatively constant load. Not as practical for big long range EV's due to cost, energy density and size of the required lighting bolt.
Never heard of supercaps…will look into it.
Here are the specs for one. Energy density (kg/kWh) is an order of magnitude worse than Lithium batteries at this point. For this cap, you could charge safely at 20 A which is about four seconds. You can charge at double that rate if you want. Lifetime >50,000 cycles.
Thanks for that @GreyGhost. I was cleaning out my stuff at my parents house yesterday and saw an OLD Electronic Eng text books. Glad I didn’t throw it out.
Electric systems and software programming were my weakest courses in university. Barely passed either.

Empty battery cases make for good promotional videos.
The batteries are identified as weighing 9kg as per the mfg.
Its a company out of Taiwan…Gogoro.

It looks like it was made with lego.
