Description
Demo of electric motorcycle.
We took a Derbi GPR-50, removed the gas motor, and installed an electric drive system.
There is a web site that contains a little more information about what we are doing. The URL is http://www.maxdon.com.
We are considering designing and selling electric motorcycles commercially. However, if you are interested in building one yourself, you can find a wealth in information on the internet. At this point, I have borrowed ideas from no less than 10 different people for my design. Some of Maxdon Electric innovations that you won't find in other bikes are:
1. The onboard microcontroller (described in the latest version -- see the update video) provides torque control throttle feel and gives the rider battery status information
2. An RC-delay precharge circuit for the main contactor
3. A unique compact layout and mounting of the electric drive system
