New youtube channel + Ads?

What's up?

Well I have recently made a new youtube channel which will replace my old one as I have decided I will start to do reviews, blogs and build vlogs and post these to my new channel.
http://www.youtube.com/user/electricblogger/

I am also hoping to make more blog posts here and keep you guys updated more often.

You may be wondering what the hell is on the top of the pages/bottom of the pages and on the sides. These are ads I am running through adsense to try and get some money together to fund this site.

So I hope you guys are doing well and it would be good if you could subscribe to my above channel and support me.

My Google Global Science Fair 2011 Entry

Hi all,

Just though I would let you know that I have been involved in the google science fair this year. First time it is running too.
Should be interesting. You can probably already guess what I submitted.

Electric Motorbike Burnout!

My first burnout on the electric motorbike EVER! :)

Time on my hands!

So, turns out I actually had some time on my hands.
Did as much as I could.
I did:
Mounted rear taillight & all indicators
Strapped in batteries and tidied up cables and wiring
Mounted left over loose parts
Road tyre for front wheel and checked brakes
Fitted fixed BMS, which works perfectly now

I drove the bike around for about 7ish KM and used 15% of the battery, till the LVC. Which means I would get around 40km range within the LVC, so 10% remaining.
Don't really know where I would drive for 40km, but that seems like a probable range.

Another thing I noted is the front forks. WAY too much travel and the bike is not straight, ie. front forks too small/need stronger front internal fork springs OR new forks all together, BEST BET.

We are currently working on a forum for NZers to discuss their EVs and organise meetings and stuff. Will let everyone know when we have sorted it out.


Just a note that I have bought the polycarbonate for a fairing and the plastic sheet is merely to protect it from NZ weather at testing time :mrgreen:

Some Headways just came in, for a downhill style scooter. Thread to come.

Bms is coming - update

So, I sent out the BMS a few weeks ago.
It's been fixed, apparently the screen was the problem.
Will be here in a few weeks.
Then bike can get finished.

Haven't really got much time though; work, another website, gamma electrix and just other stuff.
So Ev's are on the sideline at the moment. But it is summer holiday after all.

Check out the RFID Kits and pre-built units: http://www.gammaelectrix.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=11_14
They are **on order** by the way.
