First successfully ride (26th of March 2017) .

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Test drive before taking part at an energy exhibition (e-mobility)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Element E @ my home town with around 1800 visitors at 2 days opening.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

First official test run @ 1/4 mile (May 2017) German Race Wars, Eisenach, Thüringen). I finished via roll out over the finish line after 29 seconds. So at 85 kph I got a complete system cut off from controller. I was a little bit frustrated but happy that the system worked again after switch off/on the system. So the next two weeks I tried to find out which parameters I have to set inside the controller.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Our main event my brother and I take part: Speeddays King of Germany, Alkersleben (Thüringen).

4 days of fun. GSX-R 1216 of my brother, GSX-R e600, GSX-R 1000 K2 (K3 engine, SRAD fairing)

 

Time slips of my e-motorcycle. In every run I had to fight with system cut offs. But I found out when I put back the throttle and start acceleration again (5 times @ 1/4 mile distance) I reached finish line with my actually best time slip 14,468 sec. @ 157,21 kph.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Getting new controller Kelly Controls KLS 8080I 14401 (144V nominal voltage, 400A peak phase current).

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

August 2017: Tops peed record @ Bamberg air field (GPS measured).

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Last official test run with little bit weaker controller. But it works without any problems (no system cut offs).

15,380 sec @ 172,37 kph. So slower in acceleration but with higher top speed at the end.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

 

New controller (Emsiso emDrive 500)

Technical datas: 62kW cont., 100kW peak, 800A phase current, 125VDC

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Water cooling system is needed from now!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Check up of new position and connection to check that controller is ok.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

 

The controller itself has an osci function to check the correct PI regulation.

I needed 16 hours to understand the new software. But at the end the wheel was spinning.

You see the blocked motor signal (40A). My trailor where I made the tests were shaking!
