replace the car batteries with some A123 cells

I liked it better naked

the wide frame of this bike seems to make it a rather good choice for an EV conversion.. gives you a lot of space to pack batteries into while still being able to fit the fairings over it... i wonder if he did what a lot of people did and cut the fuel tank in half.. put some hinges and a latch on and use it as a storage compartment

@podcast25 Yes please i'd love to see the link. I've been looking at a Zero S here in the uk, but at 12,000 gbp its a little high. :)

@johnyelland1234 Racers get maybe 25-30 miles using a Lithium Ion pack (but some do use two motors and they are racing) so there is no guarantee you will see 100 miles even with one motor, conservative riding, and a Lithium Ion pack. BUT I must say I'm no expert so don't take every word I say for gold, It's just fact with opinion applied. I'll link you to an article where I got the range estimate from if you like.

put a harley 4 speed trans on it and you'll fly, nice build

Very clever design stage. Using cardboard mock ups, Great idea. Great vid.

Dude, this video is AMAZING! I have a 2001 Ninja 5R sat in my garage under a cover, this has inspired me to start this project at the end of my Afghanistan tour.

One thing though, it says you only get 20 miles, is there any way to increase that to around the 100 mark like commercial bikes?

Thanks for this awesome vid,

John

@tkcypruss not a bad idea. If you had the bi- carb in a surrounding cell of each battery to minimise risk.
