Hi All,
I have been interested in building an electric motorcycle for awhile. I have been riding enduros and hare scrambles for the last 10 years fairly consistently in the B/C skill range and currently ride a Beta 300rr.
My plan is currently on a 2005 CRF 250R:
Below is how that is all kind of laying out. The 165 motor kicks it up a bit compared to the rest of the 138 builds I have seen. I would have the cables exit out the rear. I also believe the battery case would potentially poke through the top of the fuel tank so i may have to design and print/fabricate the finishing cover.
My target use case is:
One of the main things i love about my 300rr is the low end so i arrived a the 165 as a higher torque option. I also was influenced by the dust moto using the same motor in there prototype bikes.
As I was preparing to spend some money and get out the mock up phase i began question if i was over building a touch and if the qs138 is all i need for my use cases and could make the build a touch more clean. Does any one have input on the clutch style pop on the 138 vs 165?
Appreciate any input.

- QS165 60H
- ND961000
- Amorge CRF 450 Battery 96V 50Ah RS50 Cells

My target use case is:
- Riding around my parents property and ohv areas.
- Competing in Hare scrambles, 30 miles ish 20-30mph avg
- Let my friends ride it and be wowed
- Stretch goal, Competing in short enduros 40-50 miles, The long ones are 70 plus and will be done on my 300 18mph avg plus higher speed transfers
- Stretch goal, Commute to work 20 miles on surface streets if i figure out a MC title route. 55-60mph range
