Dirty's heated clothing, heated glove thread

i Cant take any credit for the controller to be fair, its an ebay standard 12V PWM motor controller, pot included with 3 leads for pot, 2 for volts in, 2 for volts out....nice n simple, but as it takes most of the money to buy one, a homebrew solution would be nice, and built for probably a few $

I think I stopped building circuits because everything is on ebay for less than the components costs lol
Hey the ones with reverse usually have a rocker switch / switch with them to enable reverse function.

Hey gingey what kind of plug are you using, is it a big anderson? I wondered if you ever forgot it was plugged in and tried to walk away from the bike

Good to hear you are toasty it would have been funny seeing you with a big grin and steam coming from your clothes riding along in the frost hehe

LOL

at the moment, im running an XT60 to some lipo  ( which on its own could heat me up if I discharge it too far boom hehehe)

most likely I will use the small 30 amp andersons, as they disconnect quite easily......or a car type cigarette adapter to battery

For work, ive wired a desktop power supply for use whilst im stationary

At 65 watts, it really is soo hot, I reckon you would be good to at least -10C in a windproof cover, jumper and t-shirt

Yanno, if you took that radiator out, you could fit about
A dozen 48V10Ah  packs in that spot.
100 mile range anyone?

I know, I told him but he owns way too many bikes. This is my favourite, his Friday night ride



It has a pizza warmer carrier, boombox sound


And some spiffy beer taps!!


hehe

rofl......guys, honestly, if I had that bike, I wouldnt leave the garage

[DirtyGinge]

So its been cold...-3 c, and testing everything out....nice n warm

So to simplify things, I got a 12V regulator and PWM controller fitted to the bike, then put a ciggarette lighter socket on the end, now I just plug right into the bike......hmmmmm......

Also looking up 12V microwaves, cheese sandwich makers, kettles.......a cigarette lighter socket really has some uses it seems

You should get a winch and offer towing services

Found an interesting link for 12 volt items you might like here.

Of course this may take the fun out of making your own but they do look interesting.

Combine the heated clothing with a Sinclair X-1 and you'll stay warm and dry, plus you won't need glasses to keep the flies out of your eyes either.

The X-1 electric vehicle can drive 10 miles for just £0.10p (based on an average weight passenger using pedal assistance)
It requires no fuel, just a lightweight rechargeable battery pack (24v Lithium Polymer pack supplied, secondary pack available as an option at extra cost of £50)
A super efficient MCR pancake motor is linked to rear wheel by fixed gear drive chain (motor rated at 190 watts, wheel size: 16")
Front and rear disc brakes provide 100% stopping power
Adjustable suede covered handlebars to suit any position
Waterproof Acrylic bubble protects driver and includes integral roll cage frame bonded to monocoque chassis
Reclining nylon seat - highly comfortable on long or short journeys.
Superlight construction using carbon fibre lower shell and steel chassis (weight: 30 kilos)
Requires no driving license, insurance or road tax to be road legal (insurance recommended, subject to territory)
Strong visibility to other road users such as cars and lorries (built in front and rear lights aid visibility)
Can be driven in UK by anyone over age of 14 (including on cycle paths)
X-1 dimensions: 209x140x69cm
From RSP £595

Visit the Sinclair Website or take a look at the video on YouTube to see it in action.

I would want a drop down wheeled stabilizer mechanism, so you can keep your legs in the dry when you have to stop at traffic lights and junctions, along with doors, suspension, wing mirrors and some decent gearing, as the very low ratio single speed is no good for speed.
I'm sure the addition of a modified 16" Magic Pie drawing 60Amps @ 48V would quickly get it up to a reasonable top speed.
