Here is the finished test bike for my new Hub motor design lots more information on Endless Sphere but wanted to keep this thread somewhat current. The hub motor is 10KW continuous 30KW peak. There is one more rev of the stator design I need to test, before I can start selling the wheel. Mark ---

My name is Joel and I work for marin-ev, I am also in process of making an electric motorcycle with an ac motor, 120 volts and Lithium batteries. I would like to know how is it that you made it to get the vin and all the paperwork from the dmv. I will be building my bike from scratch. I really hope you make it with your project, it is great. how many kws is your motor? and how many AH are your batteries? ---

In NY there is a division of the DMV called the technical service department and they issue VIN numbers necessary for the registration process. Make sure all parts have SAE numbers and are DOT rated. I have no clue how it works in CA. Call the DMV in CA and ask. Motor is 10KW con 30KW peak batteries are 32 cell LIFEP04 40AH Mark
