Quitgas! Clean, Quiet, Fun, Electric Motorcycle

Posted by TruckerDave  Published in trucking management software

was to leave the car at home and commute with clean, quiet electric power as much as possible. Have been on the road only a few weeks -- still in the testing/adjusting phase, but so far it looks like this: Bike has a lot (too much) low end torque so it is pretty quick from a standing start. However, the top speed right now is about 45mph. Since I started with a low 6:1 gear ratio, I have plenty of room to change gearing for more top speed -- however, since I use this locally (mostly on 35mph ...

Nice bike tho.

heavy? he took the engine out, so it’s not 750 anymore :P.

great video! i love the bike! i do wonder how many miles per charge you get. also, i have my doubts about whether this is more efficient than a gas engine. since your electricity is generated through the burning of fossil fuels, you really haven’t accomplished anything. but cool bike!

You never know. The builder might live in a location where the primary generation of electricity is through a hydroelectric dam/solar.
