Lets talk about an Electric Motorcycle. I picked up a 1967 honda cafe racer that had a seized engine. This was perfect because I didn't want to destroy a perfectly good working motorcycle. I also didn't want to build my own frame and select all the parts myself. The selection of an existing motorcycle saved me a lot of time in that regard. The plan for the motorcycle is to use a hub motor and motor controller. This would also save me some time and effort since my electrical design skills are still relatively novice. To feed this beast I ordered two battery packs. The challenge with these batteries is that I need to take them apart to see how the battery controller works. This is because the battery requires a signal to activate the power terminals. So far, I have taken the entire bike apart and painted some of the components in enamel. This is the first step for me as I can only really paint them in the summer. I can work on the batteries and the other design parts any time of the year. One of the things that I already did was re-upholser the seat, I got new foam and leather formed juuuust right. Here's a long list of things that still need to be done on this: 1. Enamel paint the rest of the body 2. Set up brakes on the rear wheel(electric motor) 3. Reverse engineer/alter the battery packs 4. Design battery pack holding rack 5. Create wiring diagram 6. Set up support electronics and key the system 7. Refurbish the Front brakes 8. Cry from my poor decisions
