CHAPTER 10 - Delta-11tm Prototype Build
October 2010

The Delta-12 Electric Tilting Trike has proven the two-position seating position is viable (www.delta-12.com). The next step is to build and test the Delta-11. This chapter will document the building of the first Delta-11 prototype.



Delta-11 High Performance -2 Motor Design
(October 2010)





Raw Materials on The Floor



Total Weight of various pieces: 38.7 lbs. Approx. 20lbs lighter than D-12 rear end
(Aluminum pieces to be welded together: 9.5lbs, Shock absorber: 4.2lbs, Pillow block / jack shaft / shaft coupler: 2lbs. Steel centerstand: 4lbs, Rear wheel / tire / swing arm / brake / sprocket assembly: 19lbs)
High Efficiency Design with Single Motor
(2011 Concept Vehicle)



Top speed and 0-60 times sell bikes, but high efficiency is a more important goal. Our concept vehicle for 2011 will focus on achieving high efficiency.

Here is a high efficiency concept featuring a single motor. This lay-out (shown with side cover removed) shows placement of all electronics (charger, batteries, bms, controller, gages, etc.) packaged so that they can be sealed from the elements in a single enclosure.
