Demo of electric motorcycle.

We took a Derbi GPR-50, removed the gas motor, and installed an electric drive system.

There is a web site that contains a little more information about what we are doing. The URL is http://www.maxdon.com.

We are considering designing and selling electric motorcycles commercially. However, if you are interested in building one yourself, you can find a wealth in information on the internet. At this point, I have borrowed ideas from no less than 10 different people for my design. Some of Maxdon Electric innovations that you won't find in other bikes are:
1. The onboard microcontroller (described in the latest version -- see the update video) provides torque control throttle feel and gives the rider battery status information
2. An RC-delay precharge circuit for the main contactor
3. A unique compact layout and mounting of the electric drive system

  • i just love the sound of an electric motor. whats the range on that thing?

  • thank you very much,this is the real bike,environment friendly,i hope this kind of videos enhances electric vehicles in the world

  • @angel64879

    thanks for the information, i've been looking for a bike like that and i like the fact

    that there's a warranty on the batteries.

  • I have a Mini 40 Mile Busettii bike and it runs 50-55  miles on one battery charge. I also tried my friends Vortex Mountain bike by Busettii. It ROCKS ! Can get up to 32 mph top speed, and on one charge that bike set the new record of 86 miles. Hope it becomes a big hit. In California many people like Busettii because they cost around $1700 but can go 50--86 miles on one charge depending on model. Maria in Cali

  • no warm up engine,no gas,no gasoline,no polution,no ekzos very good.
