9/7/2021 6:18am Exactly. I expect if rule changes were made, we'd see production e-bikes within a year, because this is within their current capability range.

9/7/2021 6:07am they do vent to atmosphere as far as im aware, but a 4 stroke also builds to a higher temp than 2 strokes and can heat their own tanks faster. Then the rate at which the fuel absorbs heat and starts to boil and build pressure is at a faster rate than the small tube venting to atmosphere can handle. Eventually its enough pressure to blow the tube off altogether. Having a large diameter, keeping the fuel cooler and making the tube a mechanical connector instead of just a slip on piece would help prevent this.

9/6/2021 7:11pm The ability for E-bikes to finish races came up in the Alta thread. Directly related. Are you gonna stand there with your mouth open, or are you gonna say something?

9/6/2021 6:19pm Electric is better with a cool down period for the electronics..... imo.... maybe three 20 minute motos with an hr in between for charging.... on the pro level, they will run a new pack every race and just switch them out (packs are 4 digits, doubt the privateers will have many if any spares)

9/6/2021 6:16pm With regards to battery packs getting too hot, there is technology available today to solve the heat problem. For example, I've incorporated water cooled cold plates and a cooling system into my Alta pack and into a pack I designed and built for my KTM supermini project. However, since typical ambient temperatures are only a handful of degrees lower than the safe operating temps of most Li-Ion cells the only solution on hotter days is to "pre-cool" the pack to sub-ambient (45-50F) temp using a water cooler or "chiller" as shown. This allows much more thermal headroom and you can...

9/6/2021 9:36am A. 3 20 minute moto's with battery swaps in between would immediately move E-bikes into the competitive pro fields. B. 30 minute moto's with a mandatory pit stop for all would immediately raise the bar in entertainment, and possibly allow e-bikes a chance. IMHO B is a better choice to grow the sport. The strategery alone would keep fans from...

9/6/2021 9:22am Both GH and Pala are terrible places to attend a race if you're ready to bitch about dust, sunshine, and lack of lush scenery. Both are amazing places if you want to watch the best in the USA do their thing on a track with conditions that the average weekend warrior like me would be puckered AF to ride a single lap. Even the prettiest track of all time in southern CA, Zaca Station, was brown and dusty during these summer months. California is a fuggin desert amidst a 20 year drought. As a race fan and Southern California native...

9/6/2021 9:20am Zoom had a really good weekend on a green bike, 1-1 at Vet Masters at 3 Palms.. Mark as you said, battery swap is the only way forward at this time. Even for moto the batteries are too hot for the 2nd moto and a swap would be mandatory. I had dangled the question with current solutions in a thread...
