Has anyone attempted to make a virtual differential?
My thought was to integrate a 3axis gyro into the motor controls to reduce the power to the “inside” motor when leaning hard into a turn. It should greatly improve the turning radius as well.
One more idea, moving the electronics to follow the automotive type system, where you use the CAN bus as they would in a car. One central computer that tracks all the other computers (ESC’s, light control module, battery control module, etc.). I got that idea from the ESC with a battery meter thread.
That would be awesome and is definitely doable with an update to the VESC FW. I wonder if Vedder or any other contributor would be willing to implement this.
So, after 2 rides alongside guys on motorcycles, I began to realize that a 12S6P with 30Q cells doesn’t provide enough range (around 35km) at an average of 35km/h with 165mm wheels. Then I started dreaming about riding the whole N2 road of Portugal which has 738,5km and began to think about how could I achieve that, riding as much as I could during the day.
I noticed a few builds with “extended range packs on top” that have a parallel connection but it might not be enough, so changing batteries would be the best. However, when I was first testing my build I didn’t use threadlocker and lost a screw in the first ride.
Any ideas? How the hell does Boosted allows you to quickly swap batteries without any threadlocker and lost screws?
Wow, well now I’ve seen everything, a human battering ram that can be used in the snow, I bet the vikings wish they had this back in the day, might’ve need a stouter lad in there though, the doors tended to be sturdier back then
