Hi everyone, 1st post, found the community off youtube will prowse, hopefully someone here understands my crazy ideas lol
So I’m planning to build an e-motorcycle, 72v-96v system (haven’t finalized yet, I’m waiting on the order to test the speeds out)
Instead of order fairings(plastic coverings) for the bike cost like $150. I’m think of custom building a body or extension pieces out of solar to charge, so that I drive longer and charge on the go if I’m stuck.
The problem is how do I connect it to the battery without going through the basic process of (solar>chargecontroller>inverterDCtoAC>outlet>ACtoDC>96v Battery) I feel that’s a lot of wasted energy...But is it the only way?
I couldn’t find a 96v charge controller. So I was thinking to do (2) 48v mppt in series(if possible) to get 96v?
Or maybe separate the batteries into (2) 48v packs charge separately with 48v CC?(but that would mean A possibility of 2 different voltages when in series for the (2) 48v packs.
Some details,
I plan on ordering the qsmotor 17in 8kw, starting at 72v and incrementally increase your 96v as I’m comfortable with.(they say 60-80mph, I don’t believe them lol, so I will be testing it myself)
I’m not even sure there is a 96v charger, at least a fast one..
Any ideas? Also I can’t go too big on size b/c it’s a motorcycle, Because things are taking up space quickly, batteries, speed & charge controller, inverter, that are mostly large b/c of the high voltage. So is it possible to approach this 96v battery system with lower voltage to charge it?
Starting with SLA batteries for now, but will switch to lithium as I progress ($$)
Any inputs on any part of this project would be Greatly Appreciated!
Thanks for reading!
