Hi all,
New to this forum
I'm putting together plans to convert my SV650 to EV. It's already been a long-term project, which I've lost and gained motivation for several times over several years. I bought the bike crash damaged, and put (at the time) late model GSXR forks and wheels on it, and a few little nice bits here and there.
I'm looking like going back to study next year, and aim to have the bike on the road for then in ICE form, then once I've finished, it will be EV all the way.
The Emrax 228 motor looks very appealing, but I do keep wondering about the extra power (and weight) of the 268. The 268 might be a little too much for what I want to do, which would be commuting, the odd track day and maybe a run down the 1/4 mile from time to time...
What are your thoughts on the 228 vs 268 in a frame like the SV?
Which controller would suit these motors best? I'm after variable regen via the rear brake, and will prob have to run a DC-DC for the lights/accessories.
Batteries I'll probably wait and see what's the best option at the time, I'm assuming tech may change in the next couple of years...?
Thanks for any input!
