I've got a Honda TRX300EX that has a totally blown engine, and rather than put in a gas one, I've decided to try to pull off my first EV conversion. I've been following along and I understand the parts I need, but, given the volume of information I am hoping I could get some part/vendor recommendations from those dabbling in this market already. I am good with electronics (I can follow a schematic without an issue) and I can weld/fabricate when necessary.
While I know by default the ATV will not be as fast, which is fine given the quad only hits trails at most (barely leaves the yard), I would like it to have some pep.
Looking for a combination of:
Engine + controller (preferably one that can do reverse or i'll end up having to incorporate a gear box). I've already settled in on trying to get to 48 volts, and with the space from taking out the engine/tank, i should be able to fit 4 full size car batteries (i know that's not the right kind, just noting space) so I have room.
I'll probably mount the electric engine right on the bearing holder (a few mount points are available), so that leaves the whole current engine area for batteries/controller space.
What's everyone's thoughts? i'm not looking to go 50, but 30 would be nice.
and i'd like to be able to do 30 sustained for 2 hours
