I finished my motorcycle conversion on July 4th and have been riding it to work as often as possible. It has amazed me how much attention the bike has drawn. Especially at the Space Center. People...

Welcome to the forum Mars.
I have the same motor and controller but I have an Elite Power Solutions battery system.
But as far as performance (as much as applies), I am very pleased with the...

Welcome!
Enjoy the project!
Looks like a great donor.

Thanks Noah!

Maybe Ev Ed can help me on the chain size, but I think it's a 40? Not positive. It seems a little smaller than a dirt bike chain but I have not replaced it yet, it is the chain that came with the...

Where do you guys get front sprockets? Mcmaster Carr?
I have MARS ME-0709 motor.
Sprocket Specialists said they don't do "keyed" sprockets.

Being a "newbie" and attempting a project like this is where I started! Probably quite a few folks on here are that way. I am a "motorcycle" guy for the most part...meaning I grew up riding...

Really cool build & photo's & video!!
You should show Ken Roczen that bike if you get the opportunity.

Congrats! Very nice looking build!!!

Hey Andrew! Welcome to the forum.

Welcome Mark.

I agree with you Richard. I ride my EV because it's cool, no stops for gas, it's green, it's quiet, & it saves money. Not to mention the attention (man......Noah was right about that...he told me to...

I want!!!

That bus is awesome!!!! That is really going to be a cool project. If you do decide to go EV with it, maybe you can get some idea's from UPS (or the "small electric truck" company in Stockton)? Of...

Thank you for your input. After reading all of the replies and speaking with the engineer @ EPS, I have decided to go with a DC-DC converter (Thanks Travis) that has unswitched 12 volts, and I will...

I'm thinking that it (12V battery) is definitely the problem. It charges fine, but I'm thinking once there is a load on it for a little while it drops quick. I received my DC-DC converter and will...

Very Sharp looking, Clean build!
Really nice job!!!

Thanks Allen and Jimmy.
I think between you guys advice and the response I got back from the engineer @ EPS, I have solidly nailed down that my issue is the 12V battery. I just ordered a DC-DC...

Very Nice Work Mr. Oz!!!!
Or should I say Mr. Splinter?

Thanks Jimmy! I believe that will help me. On that ride yesterday, I was accelerating pretty hard. It was a 65 MPH road (30 of the 36 miles). I also realized after reading your first reply that I...

Thanks for trying Jimmy, but unfortunately it does not help me. I do have the shunt located as you stated, and after talking to one of EPS's engineers prior to my software update, I was under the...

I know that none of you can troubleshoot this for me just from a note, but what I am trying to find out is if anyone else has had the issues I am having. I have the Elite Power Solutions 72V, 60Ah,...

Well said Clic!

Unfortunately, that one is not on netflix instant but I put it in the Que today. Although I think it was Bob Lutz (who killed the electric car) and that's why I think this movie was pretty good. It's...

I just discovered last night that "Revenge of the Electric Car" is on Netflix instant. I know it doesn't cover EV motorcycles but I thought it was pretty cool.
