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. |

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.
