Alpha Kits Sold Out & New Brain Box !

Post date: Jun 24, 2011 3:08:35 AM

Sorry folks. We have sold out of the a Alpha Kits for now. We are not planning the next production run until we have had a chance to incorporate learnings from the Alpha units, and be able to provide a more complete keit that will hopefully include the new "Brain Box"

The "Brain Box" will be an electronics interface that is all you need between your throttle of choice (button, hall or pot) the battery and the ESC. It will take care of:

- limitting maximum power

- enforcing minimum speeds before the drive engages

- smoothing out drive engagement and disengagement

- and sending the correct signal to the ESC

So no more modifying servo testers, no more tweaking ramp controls, no more worrying about burning up your motor or ESC. And eventually this will allow the drive to meet all the legal limits of various regions around the world, like max power, max assist speeds, pedal first etc.

This has also reinvigorated a more compact Commuter Booster design based on a 50mm diamater motor. This will be targetted at a more modest <1000w power limits, and due to it's smaller size will fit smaller framed bikes. So stay tuned.

If you would like us to keep you updated on progress, and when the next production run will occur, please leave us a message at commuterbooster@gmail.com
