    My YZ Electric conversion build

    It looks real nice. What cells are you using in your battery. Why did you compromise the frame. I got a 20S12P battery in the same frame with a lot of space left. We build our bike to run on the MX tracks, and I do not modify frames because of big jumps and the stress. Your work looks real...

    Yamaha YE-01

    Thanks guys for all the interesting points of view. There is a lot of diversity amongst all of us. My reason for building Electric Dirt bikes comes from riding dirt bikes for almost 60years, and having the great fortune to be able to still ride. I started building them 15 years ago because I...

    Yamaha YE-01

    People are racing YZ250F bikes and 450F with electric power trains. Practical experience says it works. Do you even ride a bike Erwin P? Here is a friend who races them in Florida with an A rider who wins on a YZ450F EBike. The wheels aren't falling off the bikes. They do 1 or 2 laps and...

    Yamaha YE-01

    If Yamaha wants to enter the Ebike market, they should follow some of what Stark is doing, but also listen to what the riders want. The weight is a killer. The Whoops at the first WSX killed the Starks, but they weren't the caliber rider as the lead riders. Yamaha has a perfectly good...

    2019 KTM 450SXF Factory Edition Conversion to Electric Street Legal

    Dave, I raced the Dubya World Vet Nationals this weekend at Glen Helen. In the 80+ Class. There were 5 of us. Great fun and a great track. Here is a YouTube of the late race with the tore up track and terrible sun shadows. The other 2 motos ( no YouTubes) were the 2nd races ( of 25 races)...

    Need Help - FarDriver Controller Cutting Out on Jumps

    Thanks for the reference Philip, but Vinsanity and I have been talking for quite some time about this problem and others. My Far Driver Controller experience is limited. So Ryan Goodyear is a good answer. I corrected my problem on my Votol EM260S controller by replacing it. There must have...

    Bought battery and motor seperately - can't find VCU, other options?

    I have actually tore apart a Stark battery. The cells are now propelling my KTM DIY Electric Dirt Dike. They are not easy to take apart, but you can find defective batteries around for about $500. The complete package, like above, is probably worth somewhere close to what he is asking. Here...
