Hey guys,
the last time I posted a thread, it was about a super pocket bike that went between 25-30 mph. We just finished our latest project and it's up for sale. We started off with a gas X15 super pocket bike and took out the engine. This is the best super bike frame around, measuring nearly 60 inches in length and 25 inch seat height. Front and rear hydraulic brakes and hydraulic suspension, high/low beam headlight, horn, and LCD display (mainly for looks). The body was custom painted red and the frame is silver metallic.
Then, the conversion. Out the with old engine and in with one of the best permanent magnet motors around, the B&S E-tek. It produces 7.5 horsepower and 32 ft-lbs of torque at 36 volts. For the controller, we used the Alltrax 400 amp programmable unit which delivers tons of juice. Three 32Ah 12 volt batteries are wired up with 2AWG wires and held in an aluminum box. Charger supplied is a fully automatic 4.5 amp Soneil, which recharges the batteries in approximately 2 hours. The magura twist grip throttle was used because of its smooth action. Together, these components enable the X15 to acelerate from 0-50mph (85km/h) in 5 seconds, faster than any other electric super bike.
Our website will be up soon (some time in the spring) with more specs, pics, and vids. Look for MaroneMoto on google and you'll find it. If you're interested in purchasing one, or would like to see pictures, contact me at: leomnem@videotron.ca or reply to the thread.
Looking forward to hearing some feedback.
Regards,
Peter Marone.
