I haven't chimed in on this yet (was down in Texas for 3 days and had 288 messages to go thru).Looks inviting to not need the belted alt. However, if you cruise at 4500RPM will it still put out adequate voltage.  Someone mentioned that at a 6000 RPM cruise the output would only then be sufficient to supply the load and charge the bat.

No Wendell, The racemate alternator is a regular 32 amp alternator with the only difference being it uses permanent magnets instead of a powered excitation coil. 32 amps should be available by about 2000 RPM if things are working right, but it should charge from idle, if you idle above 1k.
