    Small motorcycle / moped conversion - General 5 Sachs

    Hey Spata. Thanks for the heads up, I love your build! I think it's one of the cleanest I've ever seen. Yeah I've downgraded my expectations to around 50 Wh/mi at most since I've been experimenting with another e-bike and found throttle only on a slightly heavy bike is around 30-35 Wh/mi...

    18650 battery pack build Kepler style

    Hey Kepler, just wanted to say your pack is awesome and the way you went about building the case is amazing. I would pay top bucks for something with that kind of finish. I was looking for ideas to use on my build and this is for sure one of the best ones. Thanks for sharing.

    Small motorcycle / moped conversion - General 5 Sachs

    Battery CAD I mocked up the frame in SolidWorks to get an idea of different battery options. I'll proceed to make some cardboard and foam models to really get an idea of mounting points. So for LunaCycle's 52V batteries I have: 10Ah - Panasonic GA This is the smallest pack in size that...

    Small motorcycle / moped conversion - General 5 Sachs

    Hey I'm back with a couple small updates. First of all, I've never seen a more neglected piece of machinery as this little moped. Dirt, grime, cobwebs, and a less-than-perfect paint job really drive home the kind of life it led. As you can see, a lot of the motor mount had turned black...

    Small motorcycle / moped conversion - General 5 Sachs

    Yeah, Life Cycle looks pretty bad... I'll keep researching, maybe get into LiPo, if I can source some. If not, I'll just sell a kidney and get a pack from Luna Cycle.

    Small motorcycle / moped conversion - General 5 Sachs

    I posted my battery woes over here: Battery for small motorcycle - Golden Motors 3 kW 48 V, in case somebody has any good ideas on what to do. Basically, Luna Cycle have some good offers on the 48/52/60V range that could power the 3kW motor with 50A continuous and 80A bursts, but they're a bit...

    Battery for small motorcycle - Golden Motors 3 kW 48 V

    Hi! I'm doing a small motorcycle / moped build over here: Small motorcycle / moped conversion - General 5 Sachs, and I have a couple of questions regarding the battery. I plan on using a 3kW BLDC from Golden Motors with the original Sine-Wave controller for a really light motorcycle (original...

    Small motorcycle / moped conversion - General 5 Sachs

    Sorry about the delay, got caught up with work. Finally got my workshop back together and started looking into the mechanical parts. Frame / Mechanical parts Found a small store in my town and the guy is pretty knowledgeable, so that's a huge plus. I'm picking up new shocks (front and rear) and...

    Motorhispania RYZ goes Electric(Photos+Video)

    Yeah, I'm thinking on buying one, but some people say to get a Motenergy or something else, but the price is pretty good for this motor. Your build looks great, keep the pictures coming!

    Motorhispania RYZ goes Electric(Photos+Video)

    Looks awesome! Love the way you hide the components and the plates match the ruggedness of the bike. I'm thinking on using the HPM3000 on a small motorcycle, any issues with yours? Keep us posted! Both this and your E-Chopper are great inspiration material for me.

    Hey I remember I had this on my bookmarks from researching motorcycles/scooters. It's a bit old but maybe you can find something useful. http://visforvoltage.org/forum/10045-test-ride-zev-scooters

    Small motorcycle / moped conversion - General 5 Sachs

    That's an awesome build you have there! Yeah your pack does look complicated... that's why I'm looking for vendors that sell something I could use. I've just used LiPo once and all the warnings and horror stories have steered me away from it, but you are right, if it's just a hot-rod and you...

    Small motorcycle / moped conversion - General 5 Sachs

    Hahaha thanks! I'll keep this as my build thread. I'll definitely de-tune and run lower amps, what I'm working on right now is how much to run, I'm thinking... 40/50 A should be enough. 5 kW IS overkill, I'm thinking maybe 3 to 4 kW is enough, but I'm still doing research while I fix up the...

    Small motorcycle / moped conversion - General 5 Sachs

    Hi there, lurker over here with a project. I've been meaning to do a build with a small motorcycle/moped with a bit more power to take me around town and do some errand running. I'm based in Mexico, so I can get parts from the USA, China and Canada without much fuss, but locally I'm not always...
