*NICE* - how come you're not on ninja250-org? :) - Whose windshield is that? - Why regen braking only on clutch? You could use the brake light to toggle it - Why put the chain on the right-hand side? Engine restriction?

If I had the cash I'd totally do the same thing. That's awesome. But $1800 worth of batteries is too rich for me.

I made the windshield myself out of lexan. The previous owner broke the original off. The regen is variable on the clutch. There is a switch already on the clutch that I use to turn the brake light on. Yes, the motor prefers to turn clockwise.

Love it, you got LiPO4?

[squidless250]

Yes, they are LifePO4's.

[squidless250]

Do you think we can get a law passed that will only allow intelligent people to use the internet?

@squidless250 I think I'll have to agree with that. But its usefull electric motors have full torc at 0 rpms so thats pretty usefull.

headlights are always on day or night. And these are actually highly modifiable. You can change how fast they go and how fast they accelerate. Electric motors are WAAAY more efficient and powerful than combustion engines. They only problem is theres not a cheap way to store the power. If i ever make one of these i'm gonna put little solar panels on top of the gas tank. Sure they wouldn't be enough to charge the batteries but sense your out in the sun anyways ya might as well!

[ramonet27101993]

top speed?

I am in Japan so I need to order in most of the stuff and then I am slapped with taxes on it, the only thing I do not need to order is the Li-ion as I am using the LEV50. So The cost is a lot higher then others in the USA/Canada.

I am ordering parts from Electric Motor Sport in the USA.
