This unit is fantastic , it will operate completely submerged .I must tell you it is very cool . The Handlebars on this unit are 4.5 feet high and even they are under the water . More demonstations to come . Please Keep watching . PS Specail Thanks to all who help support our Electric program .

  • why is it making a clacking noise? is that in the drivetrain? awesome stuff.... when the motor dies in my landrover swb im gonna convert it to electric..... will be pretty expensive getting the cells here in nz tho

  • @toadecks Hello, The noise was an old chain that has since been replaced . This unit is in constant use and has not let us down .Thank you for watching and please check us out at alseasonsev  on the web .

  • How did you make this set up? I have a few old dirt bike and ATV frames that could make great donor bikes to a project like this.

  • @stevensj13 Hello , What are you waiting for . Thanks for watching .

  • ATV Submarine ! Like it !! But the e - KX80 is much better...want to see it in action : )

  • @Kleinstadtamoebe Thank you we will work hard to provide another video of the kx soon . Thanks for watching .

see all

  • @FarleyCharlesUlysses A gasoline Engine ATV wouldn't have done any better....

  • @14omega28ok I didn't see it leave the water on it's own power. Driving in and getting stuck isn't very inspiring.

  • @speedy02 Well thats true.But who the fuck drives their ATV's in the lake? I thought thats what boats were for lol

  • @14omega28ok Actually My Kingquad is snorkeled and i have been in deeper water with no problem.

  • @speedy02 ROFLMGDFAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­! your gasoline Engine powered one wouldn't even make it a quarter of the way

  • fail!

  • @EETechs The motor specs are here w w w reliance c o m/ pdf/ pdf/ aced/ W06803-A-A001 pdf. You will have to fix this. I had to butcher it so youtube would not censor it.

  • @toadecks ICE cannot increase their torque and HP as more load is applied. BTW, the Tesla's torque curve is a rev torque curve that they derived by taking a family of load torque curves and putting them all together which makes it into rev torque curve. I have proven that electric is more powerful with a youtube video that is entitled: "Gas vs. Electric torque battle".

  • @toadecks An example we can make is to look up the torque specs of your typical 300 HP @ 3,571 RPM 3-phase AC induction motor. It's peak torque occurs at what is known as breakdown torque which is at 3,464 RPM and its value is 1,208 ft*lbs. The Ford Power Stroke is 400 HP at 2,800 RPM, but only manages a terrible 800 ft*lbs. Keep in mind the electric motor torque curve is LOAD TORQUE not a rev curve. Also notice that under more load the electric motor is also gaining HP which something a...

  • @toadecks I was talking about torque. I blame this "same torque at any RPM" on Tesla motors car company. I will have to make a video to explain what that torque curve actually means. But what I said about the torque being far greater than a ICE is true. No ICE is going to come close to the torque of electric. If you compare any ICE that produces say 100 HP at 3600 RPM against an electric at the same then you will see that at their peak torques, the electric will have far more torque. cont..
