Bike I recently picked up and looking to make it even better than it is.
2017 CRF250R
18” rear, and 250X forks
QS138 V3
72V BAC8000
Home made 72V 34ah battery
Gearing is currently 12/63 using a 428 setup, which I think I want to change. I have a 12T 520 front sprocket that came with the bike and multiple 48-53T rear sprockets as I use the same rears on my 450
Bike is super clean, chassis etc is perfect. I picked it up for an extremely fair price as is, turn key ready to ride.
Im setting the bike up for cross country riding and racing. Most the events around here are between 5-25 miles long
Battery is way too small. Currently I get about 12-17 miles out of it depending on how I ride. I really need about 25 miles of range.
I’m thinking move to 96V 50ish ah battery if I can get something that will fit. And maybe to a Votol controller, I’ve read the ebmx is better but just not in my budget at the time.
I see lots and lots of 72v bikes but seems to me since I need a new battery anyway, may as well move up to 96v unless there’s some reason why I shouldn’t??
Here’s a few pics to enjoy
