Anyone here ever convert a motorcycle to electric?

I have one I recently converted and am continuing to work on.

I would love to compare notes on range, motors, and everything else involved.

Check out the web page I have going on my conversion at:

Please let me know, I would love to chat about this.

Hey Dave,

Good to hear it. Definately keep up posted.

I don't think scrounging batteries is such a bad idea if you are trying to keep costs down.

I talked to one guy who got a couple of batteries from an airport. They were very high quality 24 volt Nicads. He got the for free. Otherwise the airport has to pay somebody to haul them off.

Apparently, federal aviation laws require certain batteries to be replaced every so often whether they need it or not.

Good luck! Post your progress.
