OT: attached DC motor to kick scooter

My second attachment of a cordless drill motor to a manually powered transportation device. This attempt was to test the idea that a fork with a roller on its end pressed against a wheel at a slight angle would automatically press the roller against the wheel depending on force required to turn the wheel, and then automatically release the pressure whenever the wheel was rolling freely. The other purpose of this design was to allow freewheeling of the roller whenever the wheel was spinning faster than it was being driven. Unfortunately, what happens is that the roller stops pushing the wheel and the wheel kicks the roller out away from the wheel, the roller returns, and gets kicked out again. The reason for that is because the roller is attached to the motor shaft which is not freewheeling, and the wheel is spinning quickly. When the spring that keeps some tension on the roller against the wheel is tightened, the roller doesn't get kicked out as far or as frequently. Further tightening of the spring keeps the roller from being kicked out from the wheel, but that also defeats freewheeling, and freewheeling is about half of the purpose for the design.

The spring was removed for most of the pictures, it just goes from the motor fork to the wheel fork:

Newsgroups: alt.binaries.phish Subject: electric scooter

As you can see. The scooter wheel is driven by the roller. The roller is attached directly to the motor shaft. The motor is attached to a fork which is attached and pivots on a short fork. The short fork is attached to the scooter wheel. The reason the motor fork is made of two separate forks is because the roller must approach the wheel at an angle. If the motor fork were simply attached to the scooter axle, the roller would never move towards the scooter wheel.

Ultimately, I would like to design an electric powered scooter/whatever ultralight transportation device with in-line wheels for traversing rough terrain (or city streets, sidewalks, curbs, grass). Kind of like an ultralight electric powered skidoo or snowmobile but for dry land that takes significant advantage of downhills. In-line skates with 100mm wheels are a rough equivalent to a manually powered ideal device but hopefully the in-line wheel electric scooter will be easier to use. Currently working on how to steer the thing.

Have fun.

On Mon, 15 Oct 2007 23:04:50 -0700, with neither quill nor qualm, Gunner Asch quickly quoth:

Go for the larger mesh model. I use the caged model for hauling things around my back 40 to the burn pile.

I dragged a bigfoot panel wagon through COMDEX for a day once, its sides emblazoned with my DIVERSIFY.com name. That was fun. I velcroed it to my belt in back and just hauled ass up the boulevards with both hands free. Everyone who saw it either wanted one or thought it was a great idea to collect their heavy catalogs and other COMDEX goodies. One guy on a cell phone fell over it and cursed me. I smiled and suggested he could "either talk on the phone or watch the hell where he was going, huh?"

I used this one for the Gutenberg show in Long Beach a couple years in a row, and it wasn't nearly as nice as the bigfoot.

I re-assembled one for a friend just this afternoon, thread locker on the bolts, and replaced the hairpin clips with coat hanger wire. Gerry :-)} London, Canada
