I purchased the bike a few years ago but quickly got sick of the unreliable 2-stroke engine, so decided to convert it to electric. It was intended as a toy and occasional commuter vehicle so I set out with fairly modest performance goals: similar acceleration to the original, and whatever battery size would be easy to fit. A secondary goal for the motorbike project was as a demo vehicle for some of my new ZEVA products including updated motor controller with CAN bus, and the new Electric Vehicle Management System (EVMS). I've written up the project including lots of pictures, available at the Web Page link near the top of this page.
