i don't plan on using these for the actual bike. that will take a custom pack with a couple thousand cells. i'm currently going to do experiments with different types of motors to find out which is the most suitable (ac vs dc, stepper vs induction, etc.) using small motors of each type. optimal would be a dc motor (no inverter=less parts=less complications) with high initial torque that could sustain high rpms for an extended period of time, eliminating the need for a transmission.<div>

you might find these batteries a little small for a motorcycle, even if you use the whole box of them.<br>

certainly! i'm not even sure how many i'll need. i need to start looking for motors as well. something with a lot of torque. these experiments are being conducted with an eye towards building an electric motorcycle powered by a li-ion pack.<br>

Great! If anyone else needs some, perhaps you can share one or two<br>
with them.<br>
<br>
I'll bring them to noisebridge and put them somewhere obvious. I'll<br>
put your name on the box.<br>

i can use them. i'm doing some transportation design experiments.<br>

I have another box of those batteries, even bigger than the<br>
previous<br>
box. I can't think of what to do with them, and I'd be very<br>
happy if<br>
they were put to good use.<br>
