@jhawkdesign I really have thought about it since I retired and it really isnt being used as often as it should be. Make me an offer I cant refuse? :-)
@tagger956 I'm afraid not. But there is an option to recharge the batteries during braking where the motor is, for a short period, changed into a generator. I did not go with that option as the braking time would not have been long enough to do much of any good.
Man I was thinking "all u need is some baseball cards in the spokes. Well done. I know how much work it is to do something like this. I really like the extension cord idea. Very nice. 5*s on your build.
i'm watching all these awesome electric motorcycle vids (yours is awesome, btw!) and i can't help but wonder how something like a mountain bike gearing system would work on one of these things lol
Man, you are a talented and gifted person...I can only imagine the thought, work and energy that went into your creation! With that aside, what compelled you to make an electric motorcycle? I would love to see what you could do with a piston engine in a bike frame. Once again, amazing, great job! I hope you are enjoying it!
@nutz4all Thanks for the compliment. The price of gas here was $4.28 when I built Sparky. Thats what compelled me to try and build an electric bike. Take a look at my other videos if you want something that runs on gas instead the batteries. There you'll find bikes that I've created unlike any others. Thanks again.
good job and all, but i'll be damned if I ever put my ass on one of those electric scooters. you just can't beat the real gasoline sucking bikes! good luck and congrats on the bike!
@Chrisalchin There are a number of electric motorcycle parts suppliers online. Just google "electric motorcycle parts". My total costs werent that bad. Labor costs would kill the idea. But then again, if it was your labor then it would be free. My initial costs were less then $5000 ...more then $900 just in batteries. The motor I used was an ETEK ($450), since then they've improved the motor and call it something else now. See evalbum.com for more inspiration. Good Luck.
@505197 What would tell you it was an electric bike going down the road if I had the batteries covered up? I want the world to see that this 'going green' actually can work! Seeing the batteries there and watching the bike zip around might spur someone else to build an even better bike.... thanks for looking, but it'll stay as is. Greg
i like-but must say obnoxious engine noise is part of the fun of motorcycles. I'm a drummer and i ride a straight pipe honda cb750 from the stone age-my neighbors love me.
awesome machine! how does it handle with all those batteries, what size motor you got in sparky? i like it and wish i had the money to build one. have fun man.
@ChristianPhalange The Tank is for storage of the 10 foot extension cord thats underneath one of the gas caps. I'm able to plug it in wherever I go as long as there is an outlet within reach.
@roofcrash Depends on how far you've ridden it. It has 5 three amp chargers, one per battery, after a 7 mile commute it'll take 4+ hours to recharge. Thanks.
Beautiful bike, and terrific conversion job! Read all 169 comments to date. I didn't understand what all the complaining was about wrt the lack of noise until I watched the "Angry Monkey" Bobber vid suggested next. I heard that and suddenly understood why so many people have their panties all in a twist. "Ohhh, THAT'S what its supposed to sound like!" :) Anyway, no complaints here. Great job, great looking bike, and I like how you stuck to your guns all the way through the comments. Perfection!
quien me puede decir cuanto vale un motor de este tipo ya traido a mexico df con todo y lo q necesite para su funcionamiento .......yo aqui tengo una motocicleta para montarcelo
REAL Free energy technology exists!But the powerfull Oil business won't alow common ppl to know this,Get a REAL working magnet motor at LT-MAGNET-MOTORdotCOM ,Join the revolution!
I just hate how the batteries look. Maybe in the future engineers can design the batteries to actually look like a really big engine? Or just have like a chrome case to conseal the batteries in? I duno...
wow! awesome, but i miss the sound of a real bike... I would connect an ipod+speakers and play some motorcycle sounds ;).. just kidding. really nice bike.
@RONALD511 But I do use it as a Daily commuter! I do have three other Harleys so I have to limit something but this bike does get plenty of use I assure you. Thanks for the complement...kinda.
I dont believe electric bike will never get good market since people love motorcycle rumble and exhaust sound !!! how much more cylinders better it sounds !!
ive heard the accaleration is brutal, but those yellow tops must waigh a metric ton, hows well do your breaks stop that behemoth!? youy should get the biggest baddest sound competition alternator, maybe a generator, to engage when the breaks come on, and if there is such a thing and flexible solar panel, it should be laid on your fenders and tank for recharging =O
Superb job. I admire your classy workmanship. It still looks like a motorcycle and what a great idea to use the tank the way you have. No more peculiar than a Goldwing having a dummy tank for all the electrics. Do you think you might get round to having a gearbox? This is possibly the best looking electric motorcycles I have seen, but then I like the classic look anyway. Hats off to you mate!
@uraldneprvw Thank you. No, many have thought about a gearbox for their electric bike but the discussion is that it wouldn't serve much and would only add weight where weight is critical when dealing with electrics. Thanks again.
@ElectricBobber Yes, I get your point about the gearbox. What a shame (for me anyway) that you didn't make a video presentation of the building of this remarkable motorbike. Oooh I am so envious of your skill !
@ElectricBobber Yes, I get your point about the gearbox. What a shame (for me anyway) that you didn't make a video presentation of the building of this remarkable motorbike. Oooh I am so envious of your skill !

@lowgonn It serves the purpose of storing the extension cord so you can charge it anywhere you find a 115v plugin. Besides it wouldn't look right without one. Thanks.
ohh yes.. my bicycle with cyclone electric motor kit ( 1500 W Motor ,48 volt 10 Ah lifpo4 battery, double freewheel system ) . i can ride 60-70 km /h with it.. do u believe me ..????
Nice job !! i notice you have 60 volts there. Are you using 48 volt motor and using the 5th battery for the head light/tail lights and controls for the primary system?
what kind of controller and charger are you using?
sorry if you have already covered this but that is a lot of post to go through
For i long time i was dreaming of one day building my on battery power chopper, but i didn't know how, so after watching your video i finally can. Thank you very much. Hope to post a video if i can make one :)
Dude, this is the coolest thing I've ever seen, totally cool, so cool a lot of people don't get it, cant wait to see someone do an electraglide dresser like this -lots of room for the batteries.
What kind of range/top speed do you get on that bike? And how long does it take to charge? Those look like Optima batteries so I assume the base weight for each one is less than a wet battery. The only hold back I'd really have on an electric bike is the practicality of everyday riding. I ride my Shadow everywhere and would hate to constantly worry about the batteries running down.
@arachknight1979 I've been up to 52mph, but the bike likes between 30 and 40mph the best which is perfect for my small town. It'll last me up to 25 miles on a charge which again is perfect for my running around everyday. Thanks.
man please stop...put a vtwin in that bitch an roll i saw your comment about building harleys thats fine but wtf man....thats not fun cool or n e thing im not hating but my god thats wrong...
@paulwade101 Yeah, I was mocking it up with a EVO 80 inch when gas got to $4.38 locally so I went this direction. Gets a lot of interest on the street, more than my Harleys. Thanks for Not hating it. But it is more right than wrong ...and pretty much fun. Guess it's all in one's prospective. Post a video of your bike.
@ElectricBobber Awesome bike and a really smart idea. Someday (unfortunately) these bikes will be the norm, so you are ahead of your time. My only criticism is that the batteries look lame in comparison to a chromed engine. Maybe you could paint them, or even better... how about a box around them made out of diamond plate sheet metal. Chrome!! CHROOOOMMMME! Anyway... nice bike.
And congratulations for your bike, Electric, noiseless, fast enough, very functional and versatil. I love it!, huw much do you think you spend to build it?.
Again, Congratulations Sr. I think you're very happy!.
And congratulations for your bike, Electric, noiseless, fast enough, very functional and versatil. I love it!, huw much do you think you spend to build it?.
Again, Congratulations Sr. I think you're very happy!.
I am very interested in building my own bike. I would really like to pick your brain on the details such as the exact components you used. What motor and controller did you use?
Hey, plug in a speaker with a screaming eagle exhaust loop playing , all power up from the batteries and you're set to go :P . Aside from that, brilliant job mate, keep up the good work.
cool bike man, but it just isnt right, I mean u got the chopper look, but no sound, a lot of the reason why choppers are cool is because they're loud. maybe put a big speaker on there and sum recorded audio
Looks good. But a tad on the heavy side.. Are you planning for any upgrades, maybe a transmission to pump up the speed? Or any idea on how to up the range.?
Fantastic! I'm restoring an old Est-German bike. I'm wanting to go electric. The change to electric will have to come sooner or later. I bet the riding feel does not suffer with your bike, must be awesome.
great well done, wish there were more people like you,

That's just all kinds of wrong! If those Harley parts were alive they'd kill themselves.

@MarkMyWay Not to worry, I build Harleys also. I've got 3 Harleys and 1 electric. All fun.

I am very interested in building my own bike. I would really like to pick your brain on the details such as the exact components you used. What motor and controller did you use?

Hey, plug in a speaker with a screaming eagle exhaust loop playing , all power up from the batteries and you're set to go :P . Aside from that, brilliant job mate, keep up the good work.

cool bike man, but it just isnt right, I mean u got the chopper look, but no sound, a lot of the reason why choppers are cool is because they're loud. maybe put a big speaker on there and sum recorded audio

Looks good. But a tad on the heavy side.. Are you planning for any upgrades, maybe a transmission to pump up the speed? Or any idea on how to up the range.?

Fantastic! I'm restoring an old Est-German bike. I'm wanting to go electric. The change to electric will have to come sooner or later. I bet the riding feel does not suffer with your bike, must be awesome.
