Hi everyone,
I don’t post much but I have been a member for while, since my first E-longboard I made with the help of this amazing forum!!
On to business;
As the title states, I picked up 2009 Kawasaki ninja 500 for very cheap however it needs upwards of $1000 to get it street legal.
So I decided to go electric conversion. I’m familiar with the gist of it as I did the E-longboard but I’m deathly gonna need help because it’s a bigger project.
As a starting point, the motor, I have two options and those are either to go chain drive or change the wheel and make it an in-hub motor. In-hub wise I’m thinking about getting on AliExpress the QSMotor 17” * 6”.
My main question is, which is the better/simpler/cheaper? Comparing the in-hub vs using the chain that’s already there and replacing the engine with an electric a chain drive motor. I could probably tie it to the transmission?! For higher speeds? Maybe Idk I’m just spitballing here.
Does anyone have any experience with the QSMotor,
specifically the larger sizes? What’s the top speed you can get on them? Because I believe these go as Hugh as 12000 W.
Welp, if you made it this far,
Thanks for reading! I hope I was detailed enough.
I’d definitely appreciate any feedback including tips like “wish I’d known that before” ideas, for now or down the line on this project. I take notes. Thanks in Advance!
PS will add pictures soon.
