Quitgas! Clean, Quiet, Fun, Electric Motorcycle
Update February 2009 Well, I am happy with this project except for one issue in order to service batteries and experiment with the bike, clear access to the batteries and electronics is needed. Unfortunately, removing the Ninja bodywork for this access requires removing the mirrors, front blinkers and windscreen, making the bike unsafe probably illegal to ride. The solution is some type of one-piece body that is easily removed and does not support the mirrors and blinkers. So back into the ...

You never know. The builder might live in a location where the primary generation of electricity is through a hydroelectric dam/solar.
or wind.. but really, what are the chances of that? places like that are completely insignificant. but i can’t lie, i’d like to live there
.
what is the range of the bike?Maybe lithiun ion batteries instead of bulky lead acid type.Also some kind of generator to recharge batteries on decels and braking.
Very cool project,definitely the way of the future.Well done guys
For 2800 you should have just bought yourself a nice ninja 250 and gear.
Man, to hell with all the negativity. That is a damn good idea! I have a 1990 Concours ZG1000 and would like to do the same.
Thanks for sharing!
Can’t say for every state, but in CA, if its got 2 wheels, a motor and you are using it on the roads, yea you do.
Awesome man. I have a dead 650 Katana that I’d love to do this to, but lack the metal skills. The charge cord in the gas tank, I can hardly stand the irony of that. Love it.
that motor is silver and blue, not green.
jk
LOL! I have an ’89 RZ350 e-bike underway. Nice, good toon too for the times.

No helmet too! daring guy.
good job, but the earth’s natural temperature rise causes CO levels to rise, so quitting gas won’t solve anything
Well, quitting gas will save some more and let earth produce more before we take more away
wow Good job man thats amazing!
Hey man Thats Brilliant well done Where can you buy them sort of motors?

i got bn 125 eliminator cruiser style engine dead after jus 10000 miles dat sux so wud lyke to go electric need top speed of 77 mph and a range of 120 miles to a charge or solor power to help with the distance grate idea ow much to do a convirtion?
Im jealous, I’m probably going to do my own shortly
GREAT WORK !!! I love it!
BTW when I saw your rear sprocket my first thought was what are you thinking! lol!
Mad respect!
Regular street bikes are way better. I think the sound of and engine is way better than any electric thing. but that was a cool project…….. check my channel out if you want to here a motorcycle engine
Nice job. Only if you could add some noise to that thing so people know your coming. Having a loud motorcycle is a good thing while in traffic, gets peoples attention and let’s them know you’re there..What do you plan on doing with all those Toxic batteries once they are no good? I always wondered how adding more batteries to our landfills is more “GREEN”? But I guess there’s a down side to eveything..
Well done. How much $ it to convert it ?
In few years, electric motorcycles with BRUSHLESS motors and LI-PO batteries will be available.
I will be the first one to buy one (I’ve been riding gas motorcycles for 25 years).
In about 10 years, electric cars and motorcycles will perform better than gas for a selling price that will be at least %50 less than gas vehicules.
Right now there are only a few of these for sale on the market. I would as a consumer be very interested if the price was more affordable. Some of these are $36,000. Very overpriced!! BUT, We need this.
wow! very impressive!, I wish I had one!
Good! Very good! I like the music, I like the Video. Warm, sunny, and everning. I like the idea. Clean. I want me a sporty one.
We should begin, this is a revolution. It is a movement to revive Earth. To clean Earth. To end evil for all times, so that thousands of years later, there will be no World Wars. No Evil is left because we didnt think for the future. No deaths, no Holocaust, No Hiroshima and Nagasaki. A WORLD FLAG WITH A MESSAGE THAT SAYS IT STRAIGHT OUT!!!
