Design Concept
- Use downhill mountain-bike parts that have been proven to be light, strong and effective up to a 50kg weight with an 80kg load, thanks to the Sur-Ron Electric Bike.
- Use twin Sur-Ron direct-drive 3-5kW Axial Flux electric motors
- Use twin ASI BAC4000 BLDC Controllers (or VESC Vedder BLDC Controllers)
- Outer skin using the GABoats technique (Geodesic Aerolite Boats) - http://gaboats.com
- Inner frame using 3D-printed fibre-reinforced "nodes" connecting continuous-fibre-reinforced pipes on a Fibre_Reinforced_Pipe_3D_Printer or getting carbon-fibre or hemp-reinforced tubes, based on the Divergent 3D "Blade" car manufacturing concept https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPv7PwS50OE
