Suzuki RM-E Build 2026

[LM-Makes]

Hello all!!
New member here.
Joined because I have started my 2020 RMZ to RM-E conversion and wanted to post it up here.
So far:
2020 RMZ250 chassis
Electro an Co MX kit:
QS138 70h v3 motor
Votol contoller with E&C 28kw tune
Wiring harness to match from E&C
Surron throttle
E&C switch gear and volt meter.

I debated sourcing all the parts from the kit myself, but when it came down to it, it was more time effective for me to purchase the kit from electro and co. (It doesn’t hurt that Electrobrapp and I are friends, although I think I like him more than he likes me )

On order:
2x 72v 65ah Amorge “CRF250” batteries.

3d modeling my own brackets (with a little jumpstart from @Dave Daum with the battery cage side panel. Also someone had the motor brackets posted here. But I can’t remember who.

I will try to update as my build progresses. I am not a big posting guy, but I’m gonna try.

Yes sir! I’m too fancy for cardboard, and didn’t wanna chop up a bunch of steel to do it. Plus my buddy has a laser shop an said if I can get him 3d files he can cut it for me!

Saw your posts in the FB group. Good to see you here also. I did find your Maker World upload of the QS138. Thanks for that again.

Happy to help! I didn’t make it. Just making everyone aware!

Great work! You have files for the battery bracket??

Hey brother, I will post it on my makerworld once I get it complete and finalized.

Same with the motor brackets

It looks like we can ad the Suzuki to the list of frames that battery shape fits into.

Make sure your counter shaft sprocket is at the correct vertical height. It looks a wee bit high in the photos.

What’s the recommended distance from the swing arm pivot? And height?

Lithium-king.com makes motor mounts, $150 for your bike. Text them with your measurement from bottom mount bolt center to swingarm bolt center. I bring a leg up the back to support the battery. I don’t like to have the battery touch the motor to transfer heat. I just ordered one yesterday for a 2009 KTM

I know that!
Why spend $150 when I can design and have them made for $10?

Battery isn’t directly touching the motor, though the bracket is. I’m not worried about that heat transfer. If anything the bracket will act as extra air cooling heatsink as it is aluminum.

No different than the tried and true E&C YZEMX that I have.

I recommend taking the motorcycle, placed on aevel surface, with the motor installed, and measuring the distances. Good rule of thumb is to keep the sprocket teeth as close to the swingarm as possible. Set the vertical position so the center of the counterpart sprocket and swingarm pivot are on the same plane. Hope this helps.

Excellent. That all checks out for me.
The picture is deceiving.
