I am looking for a 3-piece crank replacement that has a standard front sprocket coupled with a #25 sprocket. Any leads would be helpful.

Swigz Pro Racing is unveiling their bike at The Battery Show this October. Still blacked-out in the pictures available now is a KERS system set up on the front wheel.

With 194 horsepower and 295 lb ft of torque, other TTXGP teams better get busy or get used to looking at the back of this thing.

Motor and controller are both UQM liquid-cooled units. Battery supplier not named yet but given where the unveiling is happening, I think they have someone in mind.

Its all in good shape, only had 17,000 original miles on it. After taking the engine apart it was so clean I wish I had beat up more, but alas, my gas guzzling says are over, especially for this old 4 cylinder. It was heavy!
So I have a lot of space in the frame, all the motor mounts where bolt on and I took thing a part with aratchet set. I have been looking at videos and conversion packs but I think I want to do it piece by piece. So to start, what pieces should I keep for the conversion and which ones should I scrape for cash or ditch? Also, I'm looking to get about a 50 mile range, maybe 50 miles an hour, does anyone know a good company or supplier to go through for parts and or literature on the topic?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. And if anyone wants to share some of the bikes they have made I would love to see them!

I have asked the builder if there is any adverse torque reaction in the bike when accelerating.
He has coupled the motor directly to the end of the shaft !! with a battery as counter balance.

Thinking of renaming my cat Peter Fonda:D. Its a '94 with just under 25k miles on the clock. Some damage to the right side fairing as it had been stolen at one stage.

Plan is to use 2 nissan 48v forklift traction motors for series - parallel setup. Minimum of 72v possibly go to 96. Controller will be my own custom igbt version of the open revolt. Not sure about the charger but the petrol tank is plenty big to accomodate a low power version of the open source charger by Simon Rafferty.

Batteries will either be Odyssey pc680 agms or headway 16ah. Thats the basic plan anyway. Now i've never even sat on much less owned a bike until today so like in that film wild hogs its a case of "all the gear , no idea!"


So first question. Can someone please tell me how to put this thing on its center stand ?? :D:D

Control signals would be identical and pack voltage would be the same so as long as the controller was rated for the combined current would it work? What is the down side?
