THEKPV bike build began in 2008 by Terry Hope. He had worked as an engineer aboard Copper Sky. An 88ft steel haul sailboat. The captain would not allow a full size electric scooter or bike.. Terry had only one option.. design a custom electric vehicle kit that would fit inside a suitcase.

THEKPV ebike/e-scooter kit specifications
44 lbs without solar panels
396 Wh Battery / main
13 km Range / minimum
15 min recharge 80% / AC power
28 Wh 12v booster pack
10,000 cycles / lifetime charges
10.8V Capacitor / booster
50 lbs with solar array
50 Watts solar power
12V Kinetic generator device

THEKPV ebike build features many custom parts from a generator that charges a capacitor bank with a flip of a switch mounted on the scooters handlebars beside the throttle grip.
Onboard solar power can charge any 2 cells/caps at one time via 4 rocker switches.
Each of the booster packs are turned on/off via another group of rocker switches mounted on the scooters handle bars opposite the throttle, and when turned on power the electric motor directly combined with the throttle output from the controller.

  • Cool,

  • Have you taken it off of some sweet jumps?

  • thats badass.

  • cool brother

  • very nice...  and what will be the price ?

  • Very nice. One possible safety concern: it looks like that upper solar panel might act to decapitate or seriously injure the rider in the event of a frontal crash. I realize it is a prototype, so I imagine you have noticed this. Great work, excited to see how it develops.

  • nice project............ but you need a lot of sun and if you arrive at a hill climb you will need walk much .......... +1vid
