fun project i finished....

hey guys this really doesn't relate to pocket bikes but since it is the electric section i thought i'd share this with my friends here... i mentions about 5 days ago i was working on something big... well i finished it a few minutess ago...
now don't laugh at me... i just finish converting my broke rideon move to electric.... now here is the story( short version)........ bought this new house and tractor stayed with the house... tractor was only 2 years old and a few weeks ago it blow the piston rod....... instead off dumping money into the rideon i just went out andbought a new one...now i had a new one and a broke one... so i decided to sell the cutting deck and the motor... well now the rideon is about 70lbs. less so i decide to see if my 1200watt motor would work and move the mower... took off the pulley and put on a sprocket on the trans hooked the motor up and an old controller i had.. and off i went....
it is a 1200watt motor/48 volts. but right now i'm running it on 36 volts til i get a 48 volt controller...i took the kids for a ride on `a not so charged battery i had laying around but we end up doing 8mph on the grass... before you guys so only 8mph...... with the gas motor it only did 4.3 so i almost doubled the speed... and once the extra 12 volts in added it should do 12 mph so i am happy with it...
here are some pics of the rideon ...... i'm going to videotape my run when the battery is charged...

here is a video of the tractor in action lol this 1200watt motor is handling this tractor with no problem....

what the hell?! that is AWESOME!!! I had an old beater tractor like that I turned into a choo choo train for the kids to ride at the local swap meet...sadly it wasn't e-power, just the old dead dinosaurs....

tht thing is sick lol.... now u should make it to where a blade spins under it and u will save alot of money and get yer lawn done twice as fast.. good job

thanks guys i'm glad you like it.... i finally came up with a name for it... since the make is a murray and it's electric now i came up with
The Murray eel
it has an extra e but i'm happy with it lol

i spell it Murray Ele<<<<<<<<< the e is a long e not short e

damn,you used the 1200 motor on that beast.can't wait too see what that motor will do in a pocket bike.good job.

Mondo you still this freaky guy I use to know lol how are you homie ?

frenchie baby what's going on......... long time not hear from you..... how's the horse show going?? is the season over now.... i've been keeping myself busy with a few projects here... got an old 70's minibike i'm working on and a gokart i will be working on soon.... the minibike is the original pocket bikes of their time... so i'm just going to have fun with it and try to make it look funky..

alright, the season is over now, I was very busy with it and no time to be awared of what's happened here since may. Sorry. I hope everybody's fine, A.J, street and mr exon too. I used my pb all the season on shows and I think I could have sold a lot of these If I had time to build a few. The c1 is still the same since the last time I came here. Maybe a little less torque -due to batteries in my opinion- but it run well. I spend the few free time I had to another project too, but not an electric one. (electric vehicles are not road legal in Europe, unless you have an official sheet for it). There was an old Kawasaki 125 KDX hanging in my garage so I decided to give it a new life, and new style. I gave it a complete KX body fairing, tank and pipe, with 17" wheels front and rear. Big front brake is coming (320mm = about 14,5").It looks a 2000 125 KX supermoto now. See the pics.
