Theres plenty of simple wheels on the market already. I like seeing something with a little more luxury and more creature comforts. Its not that difficult to figure out what plug goes where to replace a broken part. I heard the same arguments about suspension "adding to much complexity", which is just crazy imo. Suspension is a total game changer and absolutely worth adding a few more screws to the machine. Its not like the added complexity is adding specialty tools or complex engineering calculus to the maintenance. Its inevitable that these machines become more and more complex over time. Im still waiting ti see more redundancy built into systems. I want to see a dual board machine, with the ability to swith to a backup control board in the event of damage to the main board. 2 1 Quote

Averian Posted May 11, 2021 Posted May 11, 2021 Since I come from the motorcycle world this reminds me of an old school air cooled engine design instead of a liquid cooled motor with an active fan on the radiator. Personally, I'd rather put up with a little noise from an active fan for our hot California weather. Going off road at slow speeds (especially hill climbs) or with plenty of starts/stops can often heat soak a design like this if you can't get enough air moving across the heat sink. A good active fan design would totally take care of that. It's especially annoying that the heat sink on the V12 will also easily get covered in dirt/mud which will further lessen its effectiveness. 2 Quote
Waulnut Posted May 16, 2021 Posted May 16, 2021 I'm not familiar with the electrical components, but the red,blue, black cables look like they are easy to disconnect with unplugging. Is there any advantage for that simplicity? Quote

I have used those those style of bullet connectors in some E-skate builds and they stay in fine, I wouldn't worry about it since those wires should have any forces pulling on them. 1 Quote

Pogo pins... watch batteries... and FETs rated for only 100V ?! Some guinea pig needs to do a cold-weather full-battery braking test before one of these would get my money... 9 Quote

There is not only lack of required margin for fully charged battery voltage, but clearly ringing and turn-off Vds spikes were not taken into account. Clearly a design flaw. Serious one 3 Quote
