I don’t know how I missed this project. You’ve done a marvellous job, your projects get better and better. I’m looking forward to what you do next, SO WEAR A HELMET and protect your very clever brain so you can entertain us all with your next incredible build!

Holy crap Im even more excited about my drives. Going to a machine shop this week! They have a lathe and small cnc I can use there.
NOOOOOO! Stop that right now. He is lightyears ahead of SkateSwordsman with his “tech”

@bigben, appreciate your support mate! I am also looking forward to see/ride Fliess 4 
And I swear, I always wear a helmet when I have a good ride! This one is “video exception” 
@Idle, yeah! Internet is mine! 70 views in one day, it’s gonna be the most popular video on internet just in a few days 
Thanks.

Haha hope you didn’t take it in a bad way🤣. It was a praise! Your motors are a thing of beauty, I don’t have the time or patience to even attempt anything like that. I look forward to the Fliess 4

hey dudes! Just discovered for myself a nice bicycle path with a total length of 95km in Frankfurt area. Unfortunately/fortunately it’s for everybody, so anybody/anything could be there walking, riding, whatever doing. Means it’s not for making records like “the fastest 40km nonstop” 
But still cool for the weekend ride 
I am also going to put some update soon on 1000km direct drive riding experience.
Cheers, Eugen

Nice videos… It looks like if you added some urethane on top of these motor cans / barrels, you could get one big ‘roller’ facing the road… 
Would be interesting to see something like that with its huge contact patch with the ground…
Though handling/ steering would probably be affected, i believe
They look EXACTLY like Carvons. They’re SK3s stuck to a wheel, just like Carvons. I mean if i didn’t know better i wouldn’t be able to tell the two apart.

@Okami, no way man, I am not even interested [quote=“Okami, post:72, topic:32279”]

Thing is 99.9% of the time I ride just perfectly normal and very soft Flywheels 90mm. And only sometimes, these rubber tubes over the motors act like additional wheels 
I know, all this stuff looks a bit wrong, like there is a big problem with clearance, and it overheats…and there is not enough torque. And it looks especially suspicious for those who never tried it, or those who tried but it was a single motor, or those who tried but protection of the motors was not enough 
After all, let’s see after few more thousands. So far it’s only ~1000km. And believe me, roads were not always as perfect as on videos
@Nordle, thanks for hint how to distinguish them, because, honestly, I was also confused just like @longhairedboy

my street is the worst street ever i swear. Everythig i’ve learned about mitigating vibrational damage has come from riding on my own street. of course there’s a paved paradise two houses down from me… but my particular street is terrible.
Beautifully done, now this urges me to finish my old hub project ( inspired by stielz in es site),
Just some questions, What motor size are you using?, You just lathe the direct drive from scratch? ( if i dont find any cnc/lathe machines workshop here maybe ill go with kegel) 12mm will be the final diameter of the axle?

two houses down – are you sure that’s a street and not a driveway?
Hey @fliess,
An off topic question but I noticed you used Purple Kegels in one of your tests. Could you tell me your thoughts on how it compares to the flywheels on bumpy roads? Is it a noticeable difference?
I have the purple kegels now and am debating on whether I should upgrade to flywheels for smoother riding.
