It is similar to m-BAJA powertrain calculation. First of all, you should find drag forces on the vehicle then find out the torque on wheels, after that decide your reduction on the basis of your motor output torque. Its depend on you that which type of transmission system you choose (auto or manual). Then find […]
It’s better to use fox or Polaris suspensions designed for ATVs. Most probably there would be a need of 6 Inch play in the wheel and considering the motion ratio of 0.6 there would be a need of 10-inch play and therefore no bikes are designed to this spring compression. You can use bike suspension […]
E BAJA ATV does not require CVT. Only Motor and a gearbox do it all of the power transmission to the wheels. As the voltage varies through the throttle, the motor’s torque and RPM are varied…so no CVT required for variable transmission.
In case you are planning for making a BAJA roll cage(m-BAJA or E-BAJA), you can consider the option of using AISI 4130 Chromoly steel tubes. They are pretty strong and quite lightweight too.
