    another Honda CR-e build?, nope its a Suzy!

    I wouldn't split the connectors that way. There is an antispark resistor in the connector, that does help. There is also a label on the connector for + an- . I would wire them correctly, but just have 2. Your second statement is correct, I set my controller to go to Limp mode ( Votol Soft...

    Here are the specs on the QS10 connector, and we are at the upper spec of the connector, of 170A continuous, and 500A Max Current

    another Honda CR-e build?, nope its a Suzy!

    Just to answer your question, I typically do have 2 QS10 connectors, or on earlier bikes 2 Anderson connectors. For Performance bikes, bikes that guys are going to run hard, I split the battery to take advantage of 2 chargers, and share the output load, one for each 1/2 pack. But that also...

    From my experience with batteries and Amorge, 1.) Pay for Air shipment, that take long enough by Air. 2.) Open discharge puts less heat in the battery. It already builds heat, and the Discharge MosFets add more. The controller will shut it off at 60V or whatever you set it to be. Then keep an...

    Why not 96 volts instead of 72?

    A friend know someone who had a defective Stark battery replaced. He purchased it and removed the batteries. He said he got about 350 good cells and used them for another project. He gave me the box, and left over parts. I can build a 2 wide 21700 cell battery inside. My goal is to fit 410...

    Why not 96 volts instead of 72?

    Thank you Halg. I will check with Siaecosys about the 96V model. But I still want more power for the street conversion, I am considering the Fardriver ND961000, or 1200. I figure 96V over 72V is a 33% increase in power, and if I go to 500A over 400A it is another 25% increase, 600A over 400A...

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

    This is a 200x CRF frame. No one else here has done one of those, It is probably a smaller frame. On the KX100 frames you have to notch the fin on the motor to sit the motor all the way down onto the center tube. Your up and down position may not be optimal, but you must get the front...

    In a 2023 Honda CRF 250 build I did, we had to offset in the other direction. You just have to become creative, but the alignment is critical . My method to align is first get the rear wheel centered in the rear by getting both tension adjusters exactly equal ( use calibers) then snug up the...

    Yes just like fmxxx666 did, it has be offset. Almost all bikes need to be offset, and bolts are tight down in the bottom of the frame, notice the red marks on this 2014 YZ250F Frame, have to be adjusted a bit

    2019 KTM 450SXF Factory Edition Conversion to Electric Street Legal

    I run most of the time at 72V 300A. The cooling is different on each bike. I believe it has to do with air flow and the outside air. In a closed airbox it heats up, with the controller outside not as much a problem. We ride in the summer out here, and it can be at 100 Degrees, this is tough...

    2019 KTM 450SXF Factory Edition Conversion to Electric Street Legal

    Tonight I am going to show how I mounted the Controller and maybe the wiring. The airbox lends itself beautifully to the Votol EM260S controller. Just remove all the parts of the air filter system until it is all just orange plastic. Some of these pictures are off a 2022 KTM I did earlier...

    If your ever up Lake Havasu way, get in touch before and you can try one of these out. They are all smiles. This is this guys first ride on one in this YouTube I posted. A friend in Florida builds these , Mark Peroni XEMX1.com

    another Honda CR-e build?, nope its a Suzy!

    I haven't opened up the 2 newest batteries I got from Amorge, to see what direction what is in, But the one that went into the Honda or Yamaha with a little more space, was 6.25" across the bike. It was 8.25" front to back, and 12.5" high . The KTM battery was 9" x 9" x 10" high and the...

    Florida Trail Riders Hare Scrambles

    They change the battery every lap. They only use a little over 1/2 of the battery a lap, depending on how agggressive the rider is. They are smaller batteries, like 4KWh packs. If you go to 19:50 minutes on the YouTube you can see the 20sec or so battery change. Mark sells a very smooth...

    Florida Trail Riders Hare Scrambles

    This race was a week ago, but the Florida Trail Riders get a whole line of Electrics. Many Starks and others. So the example is out there. The laps are about 10-12 miles times 4 laps. This is a little outside of their range, as you can see by their results , they lead until the last lap. I...

    2019 KTM 450SXF Factory Edition Conversion to Electric Street Legal

    I will talk a little bit about the Battery. I sent a sketch of what I wanted and Amorge sent back a drawing of the idea. Back and forth a few times, and a couple quotes to get everything correct, and off went the payment. They at Amorge do a good job in a lot of ways, but once you have paid...

    The Battery subframe is also 6061 Aluminum 1/4" thick and 2" wide with the top mount of the motor cut off so it can clear the motor by 1/4". It mounts to the lower skid plate mounts in the front, but could be made to work coming up to the bigger mounts in the front. You can see that the...

    2019 KTM 450SXF Factory Edition Conversion to Electric Street Legal

    I just finished this build and I wanted to share the build, because I think this is one of the easiest frame/models to convert, with minimum modification. None to the frame , only plastics are modified. This is a 2019 KTM, but I believe the GasGas and Husky will be almost identical...

    Dave that looks great on the battery mount system. One thing I try to do is to not have the battery touch the motor, We found in the hotter summer days here in the Southwest USA, that the battery will overheat before the motor, so if it doesn't touch or connect to the motor, none of the motor...
