    Yet another CRF 250 Build but its my first so... ;)

    I've used this exact same stuff. Looks really good and works really well!...for about 3 rides. Mine began to come off fairly fast but was very effective when it was on.

    Bike looks awesome! Congrats! On your battery fitment, it's great that it's so snug, but I highly recommend doing a proper mount, both for your safety, the safety of others and for the battery's protection. If you were only riding street then it wouldn't matter, but if you're doing MX, the...

    That first time you get the motor to spin up is beyond satisfying! I was yelling like a mad man when I connected everything the first time! haha. On video it's so underwhelming compared to the elation you're probably experiencing. Congrats! Build and battery are looking great!

    My conversion is no different. I think most of the chain rattle happens ALL the time on every MX bike. The difference is that there's no engine noise to drown out the other noises (chain, suspension, wheels, the random wire or cable slapping against plastic or the frame). Dirt bikes go through...

    Arctic Leopard E-XE 880 Electric Dirt Bike

    That may be, but keep in mind that Charged sells Arctic Leopards, so his take is a little biased. Your money with probably better spent on your conversion.

    YZ-EMX Kits now Available

    I had a chance to ride the YZ-EMX with Electro & Co and ElectricCycleRider.com a few months ago. Great bike! The review went live last week. Check it out! Here's the full article:

    Love the idea of the push lock! That will make battery swaps so much easier. Might have to integrate that on my YZ build. What kind of range are you aiming for? I'd guess that at 81v 60ah you'll be able to comfortably get 30-35 miles of trail range (depending on the terrain). On the track...

    Great point there. But yes I've heard good things about the 3Shul too. I'm no programmer, so would need to find a way to get the controller working properly with the motor.

    I've been looking at those same Ultra Bee batteries. The 80v 76ah from Ewatt. They also have an 88v option! Chi Battery Systems also has one coming out soon. So, this is a question for Don (or anyone else in the know): What do you think of running these higher voltage batteries? I guess it...

    Happy to help wherever I can. Don is the true guru here, whereas I have gained some practical knowledge through my own recent experiences... although I'm a lifelong MX enthusiast. As far as electronics go though, Don is the mon! To answer your questions: 1) It may be possible to fit the EM260...

    Great points all around, Don, as always! I'll take some more with the seat off so you can see what I did. The Yamaha is a bit unique with the under-the-seat gas cap, so I took advantage of that, but it would likely be easier to setup the quick change option on a bike with traditional gas tank...

    Bike is looking great! Rider is ripping too! Who is that?

    Amorge can build a battery to your specs, or very close, to fit the frame as is. Why ruin the frame's structural integrity when you don't have to? If you're doing it to achieve 3 or 4 more ah, damaging the frame is not worth it. It looks like you're setting up the battery to be quickly removable...

    There goes the structural integrity of your frame. NEVER cut an MX frame that you are planning to use for MX. Please DO NOT jump this thing.
