Reverse Trike Revolution, Inc.™

Reverse Trike Revolution is a Technology Consulting Firm.  RTR was created in the spring of 2006, and legally Incorporated in February 2009 in Tennessee.  Founders Charles Savoree and Michael Davis each have years of custom vehicle experience; ranging from motorcycles both dirt and street, to sand rails, muscle cars and drag boats.  With this knowledge, and their rapidly rising interest in reverse trikes, the decision was made to form Reverse Trike Revolution, Inc.  RTR is quickly becoming one of the leading promoters of homebuilt reverse trikes.  Currently RTR is working with alternative fuels, and drive systems in the arena of Green Technology.  Development of a High MPG, Reverse trike design for the Family is underway, and the prototype should be ready for road testing in the summer of 2010.

We have put together a DVD that explains how we designed and built our "RTR1000H" Reverse Trike Roadster.  It gives a list of the components we used, along with part numbers and where purchased.  We show our donor motorcycle, the frame and each component used, from the start of the build, to operating the finished motorcycle.  This DVD is FULL of useful information!  The DVD, although not a step by step guide, shows all of the build.  It should give anybody who is experienced, or isn't even familiar with Reverse Trikes, a good idea of how to quickly, and inexpensively they can build their own Reverse Trike Roadster.  Available in MPEG-2 format at only $44.95 USD.

EFM Auto Clutch Inc.

The auto clutch engages your manual clutch when your engine RPM's increase and then releases back at idle.  You still have engine braking down to idle and when taking off when done normally, it even sounds like you are letting out the clutch.  You can still use the manual clutch lever but with zero pull at idle and 1 finger pull up to about half the engine rpm.  You have more holding power with the EFM auto clutch than any other type on the market. 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th gear burnouts can be done with ease.  You still have to shift, you can use the manual clutch to shift, or just relax the throttle to up shift, and blip to down shift.

There is no worry about stalling in traffic or holding in the clutch lever while sitting for a traffic light.  This is a must for jockey shift bikes.  If you are an experienced rider than take advantage of the way you can accelerate from a green light.  If you are a new rider, you will ride with the confidence of just being able to twist the throttle and go, even if you're on a hill, or just turning around in a tight area.  The harder you twist the throttle, the harder the clutch will lock up.  Great for trikes and disabled riders.

Our  auto clutch product has been on TV, Two Wheel Tuesday, V-twin,  American Chopper, etc.  We received the V-Twin award for our product thru Grandeur Cycle, one of our distributors a few years back.  We do quite of few specials, for disabled riders  or veterans here with the auto clutch and we think that we can offer a performance oriented three wheeler, which is completely different can suite the riders needs.

Reverse Trikes in Canada

Are you longing for that reverse trike but can’t afford the prices of the current crop of turn-key machines out there.  Well there is a little shop in the Niagara Region of Ontario, Canada that can help you out.  They can custom build a frame and connect it to the bike and front suspension of your choice.  They can also help with different body options from full custom built bodies to using an existing body from a donor vehicle like a side car of your choice.

For more information please write to me and Mike and I will help you with your project.

New Saphion Lithium-ion Battery Technology 

Our goal is to deliver high performance, safe, cost effective storage systems to our customers, and one way we do this is by designing products with our Saphion technology.  Whereas traditional Lithium-ion technology utilizes cobalt-oxide cathode material, Saphion technology incorporates a phosphate based cathode material.

Along with the performance and cycle life advantages of Lithium-ion, this change in cathode material yields several additional advantages specific to Saphion technology.  And, because of these characteristics, Saphion technology is suitable for not only in the traditional Lithium-ion markets such as the individual consumer and enterprise markets, but also for emerging markets not currently served by Lithium-ion technology, such as the telecom, utility and motive industries.

Key Features of Saphion Technology:

* High Performance
* Safe/Stable Chemistry
* High Rate Capability
* Extraordinary Cycle Life
* Long Service Life
* Environmentally Friendly
* Flexible Form Factor

The safety characteristics inherent to Saphion technology result from the incorporation of phosphates as the cathode material. Phosphates are extremely stable in overcharge or short circuit conditions and have the ability to withstand high temperatures without decomposing.  When abuse does occur, phosphates are not prone to thermal runaway and will not burn.  As a result, Saphion technology possesses safety characteristics that are fundamentally superior to those of Lithium-ion batteries made with other cathode materials.

Saphion technology does not contain any heavy metals and does not exhibit the "memory effect" of Nickel-Cadmium and Nickel-metal Hydride solutions.  Saphion technology demonstrates excellent shelf life, long cycle life and is maintenance free.

Simple Digital Systems EM-4

Stand alone, programmable fuel injection for automotive, marine and non-certified aircraft applications.  Suitable for street and track use.  The new EM-4 is the latest evolution of our highly successful EM-1, EM-2 and EM-3 systems used in some of the fastest performance vehicles in 44 countries worldwide.  The fourth generation system features improved digital, hard filtering and circuit protection, easier, more flexible programming, a noise resistant, single chip, ECU design and batch fired injectors for reliability and ease of hookup.  Our systems are very popular when swapping engines without factory electronics into different chassis.

A programmable engine management system like the SDS EM-4 series allows the precise changing of fuel delivery and ignition timing according to the individual requirements of the particular application.  
Unlike other programmable systems on the market, EM-4 does not require a laptop for programming.  This feature makes it far less expensive and much easier to use than it's competitors. 

The SDS EM-4 can replace the entire factory EFI system on most engines or upgrade older carburetted engines to port type fuel injection with ignition control.  EM-4 uses speed/density to calculate engine airflow rates. The advantage of this method is the elimination of the bulky, troublesome and sometimes restrictive airflow meters/ MAF used on many OE systems.

By selecting the correct MAP sensor, boost pressures up to 60 psi may be used. EM-4 is designed to control port type injection only.  It can be configured to drive low or high impedance injectors and gives a good idle even with very large injectors fitted.

With SDS, the programming software is embedded- nothing to load and values are retained in memory even with power off.  Programming can be accomplished with the engine turned off or running.  Four gauge modes permit real-time monitoring of all sensor inputs to the ECU.  A mixture trim knob permits a full + or - 50% change in pulse width from the programmed values.  Major SDS components are housed in quality aluminum enclosures and we offer a 1 year warranty on parts and labor.

The EM-4 series has been extensively proven in over 14 years of development, testing and real world use on a variety of street, race and special applications.  It has been successfully used on cars, boats and amateur built aircraft.

Here's a very inexpensive Korean built engine made by 'Hyosung' (used to build products for Suzuki) that could possibly be used for a RT kit.  It comes on a few different model Hyosung motorcycles including the Hyosung GT650R with an approximate advertised price of $4200 (05' model) - $5800 (06' model) depending on whose website you're on, GV650 Avitar Cruiser $6199, GT650 Comet Street Bike $5300, GT650S Street Bike $4000 and there's a new GT650X Street Fighter model.  I'm sure you could buy a complete engine as a replacement motor for a reasonable price considering these whole bikes appear to sell in the $4200 - $6200 range.  One member mentioned that the motors by themselves are only about $1200 USD.  Here's what the Comet looks like and the motor - 

hyosung-gt650rp-engine1.jpg (69900 bytes) hyosung-gt650-comet1.jpg (50611 bytes) 

These 650cc bikes weigh around 400 - 480 lbs depending on the model and the spec's I found relative to these motors are:

This compact water cooled 650cc 90 degree V twin, DOHC 8 valve engine incorporates the latest technology and produces 79 horsepower compared to Suzuki's SV650 at 70hp.  That’s 5hp more than the Suzuki SV650’s claimed output to which the Hyosung derivative will always be compared.  Torque also gets a bit of a boost, up 6.9kg-m at 7600rpm to the Suzuki’s 6.5 kg-m at 7200rpm.  A three year warranty is offered on the engine with 18 months covering the rest of the bike.

Designed in Hamamatsu, Japan, it sets a new benchmark in V-twin performance.  It has dual 39mm Mikuni downdraft carburetors, CDI ignition, 6-speed transmission, low restriction stainless steel exhaust, environmentally friendly secondary air intake system, which meets all world standards, including Euro 2.  Also has roller bearing cam shafts, 2 piece spring dampened bevel silent primary drive gears, dual squelch combustion chambers, oil cooled, etc.  Note: some say oil cooled, some say water cooled, so maybe this varies by model.

Here's a few places you might buy this engine:

The PAL-V, a personal air and land vehicle that's a cross between a gyrocopter, a car and a motorcycle / trike.  On the ground, the slim line, aerodynamic 3-wheel vehicle is as comfortable as a luxury car.  But has the agility of a motorbike, thanks to its patented cutting-edge ‘tilting’ system.  The single rotor and propeller are folded away until the PAL-V is ready to fly.

Airborne, the PAL-V flies under the 4,000 feet (1,500 m) floor of commercial air space.  With land and air space reaching capacity, this is some of the last free space.  The PAL-V is highly fuel-efficient and powered by an environmentally certified gas or diesel car engine.  It runs on petrol or diesel like a conventional car and can reach speeds of up to 125 MPH both on land and in the air.

Its straightforward autogyro flying technology means that the PAL-V is economically and technically feasible in comparison to other forms of air travel.  Like a helicopter, it has a Very Short Take Off and Vertical Landing (VSTOVL) capability making it possible to land practically anywhere.  It can be driven to the nearest airfield or helipad and, because it flies below 4,000 feet, can take off without filing a flight plan.  The autogyro technology means that it can be steered and landed safely even if the engine fails as it descends vertically rather than nose-diving.  Lift is generated by the forward speed produced by the foldable push propeller on the back.

At less than 70 decibels it is much quieter than helicopters due to the slower rotating of the main rotor.  A license to fly the PAL-V is more accessible than one for a helicopter or plane because of the regulations controlling autogyro craft.  In the United States and soon in Europe the infrastructure is in place for ‘digital freeways’ that provide a safe corridor using GPS technology to aid regulation and avoid collisions for low flying vehicles.

What makes the PAL-V attractive is the convenience of fully integrated door to door transportation.  Providing smooth transition from road to air without having to change vehicle.  The versatility to allow the driver to change their mind.

Such flexibility and independence would appeal to business and recreational users alike.  Its capacity to reach destinations inaccessible by road combined with ability to fly low means that the PAL-V has potential applications from first aid/search & rescue to surveying and observation.  Or simply offers a new personal experience.

John Bakker, a Dutch entrepreneur working closely with Spark design engineering and other partners, is developing the PAL-V.  The concept was inspired by living in one of the most world’s most densely populated countries, with a can-do approach to space issues.

Private jet ownership is becoming more popular in affluent society.  With further investment this hybrid prototype can pave the way for an affordable and feasible alternative.  Soon private flying will no longer be the exclusive domain of executives and celebrities.  If congestion or obstacles block the destination – fly.  If the weather is too bad to fly – drive.  Driving and flying combined in one vehicle that could cost little more than an executive saloon car.

ElectroSport’s superior engineering and proprietary manufacturing processes are built into our Motorcycle stators and regulator rectifiers.  ElectroSport’s computer controlled wound, triple laminated stators provide the power when you need it most and are designed to offer more charging power at critical low speed "RPM" operation and significant output gains over stock during normal riding conditions.  No other stator comes close in value, performance and ease of installation.

For our Regulator Rectifier lines, ElectroSport innovations have been developed to stop overcharging and dissipate extra voltage quickly.  This provides the optimum power balance which keeps your motorcycle's battery fresh, charged and ready to go each and ever time your ride.  Best of all, your ElectroSport Stators and Regulator Rectifiers all come with our industry leading technical support and warranties.

ElectroSport HID lighting: The single brightest advance in HID lighting

HOW IT WORKS: Electrosport offers the first HID LOW and HIGH beam kit.  The ElectroSport kits contain dual filament HIDs with the correct focal point and the fill pattern is perfect providing you the best visual pattern.  Other kits are only a single filament or have an electrical adjusting shield.  Why sacrifice driving performance or safety to these inferior systems?.

A BETTER HID: With ElectroSport HID, when you make the switch from HID LOW, to HID HIGH beam, the LOW beam stays on at the same time with no loss or drop in lighting, providing you with massive lighting for even the most extreme driving conditions.  Imagine going from about 100W stock to 500W with ElectroSport HID lighting.  And, you won't blind other drivers because we have designed the lighting pattern and fill to match the OEM specifications.

Most OEM HID systems, such as those found on Mercedes only offer HID on LOW.  And the same goes for most aftermarket HID kits on the market.  Remember to check, if it's a single filament bulb, then its HID with LOW beam only.

THE BEST BULB COLOR: Don't be fooled by high numbers.  The ElectroSport color is set at 4300K, which is the best fill and near pure white daylight.  The higher the number, the less correct the lighting will be.

OTHER LOW and HIGH HID KITS: When you switch from LOW to HIGH, it takes time for the igniter ballast to power up the light.  What this means is that your driving blind.  With ElectroSport, you get true HID on both LOW and HIGH!

PATENTED: Over 1 year in development and testing.  The ElectroSport HID is designed to not blind on-coming vehicles by incorporating the stock beam pattern.  ElectroSport HID Lighting features the highest european driving standard (E) rating.  Features, non glare design, with the perfect HID ball placement for the best lighting arch.  ElectroSports HID single bulb design features the first true HID LOW-HIGH H4, 07, 04 replacement.  And this is the first dual filament HID ever made.  It's so good, it's patented.

Book:  How To Build Composite Aircraft - $38.00 USD

You will learn how to assemble kit aircraft made out of graphite/epoxy such as the Lancair IV and Stallion and how to build plugs and molds for these type of aircraft and where to buy the materials at low cost.  Once the molds are built, you will learn how to vacuum bag parts using prepreg materials.  You will also learn how to build your own aircraft design out of composite materials using a low cost method for shaping fuselage and wing parts out of Last-A-Foam and the wet layup method to build sandwich structures.

There are some interesting fiberglass body shaping techniques out there from guys doing radical custom bike building.  Some are doing the glass over foam like the TriMagnum, and there are 
some other guys doing fenders and bodies by stretching spandex over a wire frame or foam buck, then painting on resin to harden the cloth.  This gives a base shape that is stiff enough to layup additional layers of glass.  Sure beats mold building for 1-off builds.

SPRINT® is one of the unique composite technologies developed by Gurit.  Not just a product range but a whole philosophy, it encompasses the way the composite materials are manufactured and processed.  The result is a patent-approved, award-winning product range, which offers exceptional finishing and performance properties.

SPRINT® materials consist of a layer of fibre reinforcement either side of a precast, precatalysed resin film, with a light tack film on one face.  Unlike conventional prepregs, SPRINT® fibres remain dry and unimpregnated by the resin until the curing process.  This gives SPRINT® materials their outstanding breathability, and achieves autoclave quality laminates from vacuum bag processing.

· High strength and toughness
· Improved handling characteristics
· Autoclave quality from a vacuum bag process
· Drapable and conformable
· Light tack for use on vertical surfaces
· High quality surface finish with less than 1% void content

electrathonamerica.org - Electrathon America:  To create and develop a sport that improves public awareness and understanding of electric vehicles through continuously improved vehicle and event rules.  Located in Springfield, Oregon.  Electrathon is a national competition for lightweight, high efficiency electric vehicles.  Power is limited to 67 lbs. of production lead acid batteries, which amounts to a little more than one horsepower over the hour. 

The rules are simple enough to allow a wide variety of creative designs, and although it's open to everyone, most of the competitors are school teams because the sport offers an affordable test of imagination, skill, discipline and teamwork.  And, striving to foster an ethic of efficiency, it promotes the development of alternative energy transportation in compelling style.

Ceramic Coating

There are many applicators of ceramic coatings out there.  You can have confidence in Classic Coatings to do a quality job for you.  We are one of only a few Approved Applicators of ceramic coatings, and are ISO 9000 registered.  This means that you are dealing with an applicator who knows what quality is and stands behind their work.

Ceramic Coating, is recommend for use on parts that are exposed to extremely high temperatures such as headers or exhaust pipes, often referred to as exhaust coating, header coating or high heat coating.  Ceramic coatings increase part longevity, reduces friction, produces more usable power and protects parts from thermal fatigue.  The coating is applied to both the inside and outside of the part.  Classic Coatings does not charge extra for this inside coating like some companies do.

This durable ceramic coating runs between 2 and 4 mils thick and provides a hard finish which is resistant to rust and chipping.  Ceramic coating can be applied over chrome, aluminum, carbon steel, stainless steel or cast iron.

Design your own car!

Enjoy car design even if you don't know how to draw cars or you'd just rather have the flexibility of doing it on your PC.  Car body styling whether it's on exotic cars, a futuristic concept car, or a practical everyday sports car, lets you express the car design and car concepts of your dreams.  You do not need to know how to draw a car to be a car designer with Sports Car Designer on your computer.  You really don't need to know how to draw cars like a pro in order to design cars like a pro.

sportscardesigner.com

"This is a nice and cheap ($20.00) software that can help you design a three wheeler.  It lets you manipulate the layout and styling to design wide-ranging types of sports cars.  It's much easier to play around with different concepts than slow and hard to learn CAD, but when you do come up with something you like, you can export it as a DXF file for further development in CAD software.

Choose an engine (configuration, number of cylinders, bore, stroke, induction, dry or wet sump, transverse or longitudinal, etc.) a move it to the location you want.  Change the driver location and positioning (recline, knee up/down, foot up/down).  Choose wheelbase, wheel style and tire sizes, and ground clearances.  Shape the body with the easy-to-use Arc Tool.  Choose and manipulate roof types (coupe, open cockpit racer, convertible top up or down).  Move fascia, door, and rocker cut lines. 

Add mirrors, lights, ducts, flares, and aero aids like wings, splitter, dive plane, or diffuser.  I ordered this and will get it next week.   It looks like a great design tool and would help out in designing three wheelers.  And below is a link to a locust building forum where the designer talks about the product and tells you how to load it into a 3D program RHINO and make a 3D model with the DXF file that it generates.  I hope this will help with some one design or just buy it to play around with for fun for $20.00 you can't go wrong.  Jeff
