Two months ago I mentioned I was working on the design of an electric maxi scooter for the company MKLT and here I bring you the final result. It has been a project where I have had a lot of freedom and it is something I appreciate. This time I have been commissioned to do the most creative part of …
DCH1 CAD Drawings
Finally we can see the whole DCH1’s design! As you can see I haven’t used any plastic part or fairing that covers or hides the bike. The entire chassis is exposed and absolutely all parts are functional, like on a bicycle. With this bike I focused mainly in that it was «easily» manufacturable and practical. About the aesthetics, it has …
DCH1 Battery Box
One more thing that I cross out from the list “things to do”! The battery box is already welded, painted and with all accessories installed on the door. Let’s see what these accessories are about: -The box has two LEDs on the door, one green and one red which indicate the status of the controller (on, off, over-voltage, high temperature, …
Hub motor EnerTrac
I have just realized that I haven’t spoken about the DCH1’s motor yet. As you can see in the picture it is an electric hub motor from the company Enertrac. The price (€ 1,200 including shipping and taxes) is not cheap but in return you have an easy to install and elegant solution that doesn’t take up space in the …
Vitabana sketch
Checking and organizing old files I found this sketch* I had done some time ago for the Vitabana´s project. This is a project that was canceled more than a year ago and it was a shame because it was quite advanced. But there is no time money for everything… Let’s see if I can take it up again in the …
The Elipse is on the move
In this video we can see the Tohqi Elipse covering its first meters. The scooter is quite agile, the frame really stiff and the driving position very comfortable. The anti-dive system also works well. The front suspension system sags a little when you are braking but not as much as with a telescopic fork. It has caused me a great …
Caja de las baterias
Como les dije en el anterior post, ya tengo en mi poder todas las piezas para comenzar a soldar la caja de las baterías. Esta irá colgada del chasis mediante tornillos y albergará, además del pack de baterías, todos los componentes electrónicos de la moto, como son controladora, BMS, conversores dc/dc, contactor, relés, etc. La caja tendrá una puerta lateral …
Chasis terminado
¡Conjunto chasis/subchasis atornillado y terminado! Como las estructuras soldadas eran bastante pequeñas y tampoco necesitaba un gran acabado, me he animado a pintarlas yo mismo. Las he lijado para que no quedara ningún resto de óxido, les he aplicado una imprimación para metales y finalmente les he dado un par de capas de pintura en color negro mate. La combinación …
Subchasis DCH
Al igual que con el chasis, el subchasis también lo he hecho bastante modular y lo más simple y ligero que he podido. Lo he diseñado para poder ponerle una tija y un sillín de bicicleta. Está claro que no es lo más cómodo del mundo pero me servirá para cambiar la altura del asiento fácilmente y ver cual es …
