    First time build - Converting a Yamaha XT250

    I suggest that you look at Stealth Bomber clones for reference. I have an 8kw with a 48ah? battery and it goes about 35 miles. Your bike will be heavier but you might be able to pack more battery on to it. IMHO your project is viable but you either need to learn some fabrication skills (not...

    Need help matching motor/controller for an ATV

    On the Denzel site it looks to me like the controller is external. Electric kits Both the GB150 and GB200 show a controller in the kits. As such, I suspect that if the motor and sensors are compatible you can use the Sur-ron controller. How much power you can push through either Denzel will...

    Automatic 80% soc cutoff charger?

    You can measure your charge rate by the voltage rise per hour and use a spring wound or electronic timer with an outlet. Not exact but I found it to be a cheap and effective solution.

    Rewinding a QS 273 motor

    Is there any chance you could find another dead QS273 for parts?

    Trouble Opening a QSmotor (clone?) 8000W motor

    The heat only needs to be applied to the cover and it doesn't take all that much. Plus the magnets are not part of the stator unless I am missing something. It is early here and the coffee has not done it's job completely. :)

    Trouble Opening a QSmotor (clone?) 8000W motor

    Try applying heat to the cover. I have been working on some motors (not bike) recently that used to need to be pressed appart but heating the ends makes them practically fall apart. I suggest putting blocks under the cover then heating. When it is too hot to touch, tap lightly on the end of...

    Post the ebike law in your area. Here is Florida

    Colorado adopted California ebike rules. Unfortunately I decided to also buy an 8kw bomber clone with motorcycle tires and upgraded brakes. It has everything needed to be licensed as a MC except a VIN. The inspector saw the pedals and said it looks too much like a bike. Am pursuing another...

    Another Stealth bomber (clone) build

    Some frames have gone to bronze bushings in the swing arm pivot and others are using ball bearings. My new build has the bushings but the swing arm bolt is not the best fit so it is going to be replaced. That said, at 55 mph it seems stable but it has not been ridden much at that speed...

    Registering a Stealth Bomber clone for the street

    I am in the process of trying to register a Stealth Bomber clone for street legal use here in Colorado. The bike has all of the required equipment but the hang up is no VIN. There is a process but I am getting the run around due to these ebikes being unfamiliar territory to the assorted state...

    Enduro build kit

    I just finished one that is almost exactly the same except that I got the 44.8 Ah battery and 3.5T windings. Having been away from motorcycles for a while it is almost scary! The settings are conservative right now so on pavement WOT does not lift the wheel but it gets light. Only had it up...
