Hello Ben and other fans of EVs and efficient vehicles! Awesome job on your electric motorcycle! I have a question, have you or anyone else here tried a brushless motor in an EV? There is or was an ETEK brushless motor (and one or more clones of it by other manufacturers) that sounds like it would be perfect for this kind of application...since it would be even lower maintenance than a brushed motor.
I ask because I have already got Secrets of EL Ninja and plan to start building an electric 'hog' of my own sometime in the future.
Also, before I forget, is it possible to ride an electric motorcycle like yours in the rain? (From an electricity point of view, not so much from a vehicle safety point of view, I know roads are more slick when they're wet...duh.) Will rain hurt or destroy the motor or interfere with electrical operation of the vehicle?
I have to ask because I live in Orlando, and we get rain in the afternoon pretty much every day during the summer...
Again, congrats on the electric motorcycle!
