Actually come to think of it, 30 mph isnt bad at all. i used to aggressive inline skate and 30mph is no joke. i think i'll just shoot for that for now. i'll whip up some graphics when i have some time that isn't consumed by school or work....

I see where your coming from, I'm at 2kw right now. Four would be relatively easy. But 8!" Jeez. If I could figure out a way to get a motor mounted longitudinally it might be doable. So my design right now, rouch calculation is 30mph, still not bad.

Also for gearing does anyone know of a very small cvt in production? It would elininate direct drive allowing freeskating and les bump when changing directions and greatly in prove acceleration. I've never seea mini cvt but I would not want to use a centrifugal clutch since it would be wasteful and make power regen impossible.

Ok ladies, I had to register to join in on this. I read the whole topic, laughed, cried, and tossed around some of my ideas with your. Since your all so hell bent on making these I might as well help/join in. Bad points: Perpetual motion, fans, sustain pedals, 160hp motors, splitting scooter motors in two, graphene (give it 5-10 years), and air in general Good points: Lipos, small motors (not hub motors since they fall apart on bumps and have weak acceleration), pressure activated throttle and braking, larger wheels (100mm?) Just my judgement on this whole deal. And now a question of my own. How many watts would it take to get an 85kg person to 60mph in a tucked position? (The whole deal is if I can compile a setup that hits 60mph theoretically I'll actually start trying to build these. So far I've come up with a setup that involves a backpack, foot pressure controls and 1000w motor in each skate. Seriously though, I've tried for a day or so to figure out the drag at 60mph in a tucked position and I can't do it. Even the force of air resistance would be awesome. Cheers, keep thinking, nothing gets done without it.
