Hi everyone!
Not much of a poster but decided to create a blog of current build.
I've been doing it just as a hobby for few years by now. Started with simple bicycle conversion to 350W motor, then took a fat bike and 1.5kW motor, then current kit - Golden Motor HLDC 3kW motor, Kelly KLS-H controller and a bit of battery.
First plan was to use the kit on a Yamaha TZR-125. The e-motor was actually chosen by torque numbers of original motor.
Built it so far that it ran but it looked ridiculous - sportbike looking thing capable of doing about 60km/h.Frame was too heavy too.
Then bought a chinese Tmec moped (Jawa Betka). Got it running fine and drove it around entire last summer. Ran fine, top speed around 72km/h.
But as looks and frame was not really what I wanted in the long run, it was now time for another upgrade.
Now looked for biggest moped frame there is and found a year 2000 Derbi Senda R1 50ccm enduro-like thing. It is about 24 cm longer and quite a bit stronger frame while weight is still ok.
This photo is from its "good side". Right side has taken some beating, plastics broken and missing.
