All that Dynamo is is basically a DC motor and some magnets built into the hub that produces 6v at a certain rpm (although once you start going motorized bike speeds, that dynamo is gonna be producing 12V+ without a regulator)
I'm familiar with how the dynamo works, but will the dynamo burn up do to the increased speed & voltage from the increased speeds of a motor bike. Thanks. That hub has sealed wheel bearings & accepts 13gauge spokes max. But I believe I can drill spoke holes out on my hub for my 11gauge spokes.
It depends on the gauge of the wire in the coil windings. At 6v it can't be very big but I would need to disassemble one and measure the gauge. There will be a point at which the dynamo caps out on voltage (and thus current) but I don't know if that point is too high for the windings. Since there is an open circuit it shouldn't have much if any current in the windings. A bench test and disassembly is required to say for sure.I don't think the 6v Dynamo will burn out but it's gonna produce more electrical power at M/B speeds
So a 6 V bulb will burn out, You'll probably have to use a 12v bulb
What Mark20 said
Yeah I think I got 1 those on a trike. It's basically my jackshaft to rear axle on schwinn trike.
How does it work for you? Im considering buying one and doing a bench test on the brake.
It's ok its a glorified band brake really. The band brake is just scaled down mini bike version.
I imagine the grubee HD rear axle hub set up is better that the bikeberry 1.
