Electric Motorcycle / Chopper / Bobber Plug-in Electric Vehicle

This 100% Electric Motorcycle can go 50 mph and has a range of 50+ miles. It uses an all electric motor, so there's no gasoline, motor oil or other petrochemicals. It has a digital display so you'll know how much electricity you've used and the onboard charger lets you extended the range. It was built to be a reliable and dependable daily driver and performs as such. Just turn the key and go. When you get done riding, plug it in the wall. It's that simple.

The motorcycle frame is an all steel construction with no plastic parts. There are over 30 hours of welding and the quality reflects that. It handles very responsively with most of the 325 lbs weight below the axle line. The leather covered seat has an aggresive rear radius that keeps you in the saddle when accelerating. It's comfortable suspension rides on dual billet shocks with powder coated stainless steel springs. The seat pan is extra thick with 2 studs on the front for seat adjustment. The removable steel body panels are sealed to protect the batteries, controller and electronics. The 1 piece "gas tank" houses the 13 amp 110 Volt charger for quick recharging at a rate of 1 hour for every 10-15 miles traveled.

The chain-less direct drive hub motor is built into the rear wheel and is the most powerful motor of it's kind. It uses a higher voltage, lower current design to minimize losses from over heating. The motor is able to achieve 10KW continuous and up to 30KW peak while operating in complete silence. This motor has an extra turn of windings on the stator for better performance off the line and in hilly areas.

The 120 volt controller is programmable and has a peak output of 270 amps and a continuous output of 135 amps. With the controller's built in regenerative braking system it can recharge the batteries when slowing down or coasting downhill.

There are 30 3.70 Volt Lithium-Polymer Cells. These LiFePO4 batteries are more expensive, but are lighter and last longer than cheaper NiMH and SLA batteries. They have been properly cycled to condition the electrodes for long life. Expect to get 1500 to 2000 cycles with these cells totaling 75,000 to 100,000 miles of use.

It has analog and digital gauges. The instrument panel has a CA-LS-HC v2.2 display with different modes for battery analysis, speed, distance, time, regeneration, total battery cycles and charging data. On the left side of the dash is a round analog speedometer with odometer.

It has front and rear disc brakes and the motor can assist in stopping with it's programmable regenerative braking. The LED rear brake light is adjustable for strobe effect flashing that gets other driver's attention when coming to a stop. There is no clutch. All the controls are on the handlebars with the front and rear brake levers right at your fingertips.

The wiring is solid from front to rear. All electricals are covered to protect from abrasion. The onboard 200 watt dc/dc converter uses standard 12 volt current to run the dash, head lamp, gauge lights, turn signals, brake lights and aux power.
