it is very possible if geared right, plus if say you used a 2 speed geAR BOX for a high and low, that can be swiched on the fly....but if i can get my 1500w 4000+ rpm motors made i think it can be done, couse you can easily get 40+mph out of 1.75hp with one gear tranny, then with 2 speed and 2 hp should get it to go 60+mph no problem, i have seen a couple gearbox's on the web and the cost is the only thing that is slowing me down from getting one...., so i may use somthing else, but it will still work, i know i can get it to, i am a thinker and a do'er.....
so with that said i hope some of you will realize it is posible
ripped my tire on the same road i popped it last time, i think i had a bad night couse a cop stopped me 2 minutes prior, he was a complete boystout about it.... but he could not do any thing couse the bike was under 2hp and lets say it avrgs 17 mph, it is a people mover under NY state law....but he kept on threatening to impound it, but i played cool and he got so stressesd he started to swear at me, totaly unprofeshinal on his part. he got in his car and took off couse he knew he was wrong....and i knew my right and cops hate that.........
but i did burn off the remaining rubber all over town as i walked it back home, that was fun as hell, the tire was realy smoking and was leaving piles of rubber every were
the bike is slugesh with the 18/44 gears but for a 500w motor to power it that is ok with me........it is now a scarry a$$ bike to ride couse befor it would float around 22-25 mph, now it seems to open up around there it is kinda funy couse the bike gets up to 20 like it always did and then feels like some one is pushing you faster after that, i dont know how to explain it but it realy goes now though.....
i had to weld in a lot of open space in back of the bike to support all the frame that i cut the tubing in half to get the rear gell cells to fit in them...
i thought i cut too much out but the bike feals actually more rigid...
if any one ever want to do this mod it is better to just geta bigger frame and make a mid bike then ty and fit 4)12v/12ah gells in one, i would recomend sticking with the 4) 7ah gells if welding is over your head.....
i dont regret doing this mod but a 36v12ah set up is byfar easyer to do..
i have to still get some new plastics and a razor rear wheel, the nylon tires are getting to the point that i have had to get a new one on the rear every week with the power i have to go with now, then the razor can be officialy retired and parked for an occasinoal ride.....now off to new things,
thanks for every one that took part in the proccess of building and planning with me, you all may think i did this one all on my own but with out the EVPB30+ club i would still be riding stock///
well done exon, congrat @ your 30+mph...get it on vid now and a pic of your speedo so it can be posted on the site....your are the 4th one to make it over 30 and with a razor,:thumbsup: very cool brother...hopefully when street gets back he will have some info on the stickers... couse there are going to be 2 stickers.. one for members and the other one for those who break the 30 mark.....
48v 12ah and 32.4mph on a razor,crazy.now let's see those pic's and vid's.good work.that's about how fast i got my bike too go when it was still running on gas.
well today my speedo failed, i think i pegged it or the magenet i am using is to big and doing .5 clicks for every rotation, it was reading 17mph today after ialready was past 28.9, i think i was at 3o-34mph though, couse if it is doing half clicks to the pickup swich for the spedo and it was reading 17mph, you would times that by 2 and it would be 34mph.you guys understand right? i think i just wore it out, couse it is just a litle slice ov metal in that swich and it doese not take to much to tweek it...
i will be getting a nother spedo this week end
but i will do a bike cam vid and a drive by vid and post a pic of what i had to do to the frame
also if the magnet failed, sorry to any one that went out and bought the 8 pack of 1/2" mags from radio$hit, for ther spedo, i would just say try to cut or pry out the magnet out of the spoke mount that came in the spedo kit
last night it did read 32.4, sadly i can not have proof to show i am one of the fastest members with a top speed over 34mph
hopfully i will have a better spedo by the end of the week
i crashed it agen, this time at full speed up an embankment, i got so much air, you all dont even know.....i landed a bit off and almost saved it 4 time but a pole was getting closer so i had to bail out the bike didnt even break all my welds held but my clothes kinda didnt, so i got more RoadRash all over agen
the bike is too scary, i will be putting an 11t on agen, it should be a racer then
, 25mph easy any time all day long, and it will be slower too..
dude, seriously you have lost a lot of skin from what i have seen......it must be weird seeing you drive by with no noise and then hear you skidding by...j/k...cant get rash if you arent moving along right? I will not ride without long sleeves anymore for fear of losing all my ink....oh yeah, and skin too...
here is a vid i took a couple minutes befor i crashed you will understand, look how fast i am going, then look at the backword spedo, watch my speed when it reaches abou 26-27mph then it will go backwords even though you can clearly see i am getting faster, whats is even weirder is wen i brake the spedo will go up till it will get down to 26mph then it tells the right speed
still waiting to get the motor....got a cheapie controller and 48v worth of batteries (and of course the sweet a$$ motor mount)...motor will have to wait 1 or 2 weeks....(we are having our annual 4th of july rager so $ is a little tight)...I may just wire one of the batteries to the scoot as it is and pick up a few rpms....and ride until the rear tire pops should last about 2 trips around the block...

dont use the 24v motor with the 48v controler it will not have the amps to power it, the stock motor at 48 volts will draw over 50 amps then fry, trust me i know i almost fried my nuts when my controler and turbo burnt up....wait till the motor can be ordered, save your new controler, just set it up and wait.....
check it out guys, i got some lights for my razor last night, i set them on the bike looks great...it looks like a rat bike now...oh ya they are H4 running lights so they r very bright, they have a hot spot of light in front of them that goes out over 5 inchest in front of them.....badas$ i say
i will power them with 2) 6v cells on the side of the bike(this is the temporary)
i have already gotten asked to make a couple of these this week by friends and family, i told them i would have to think about it, couse i realy dont wana be a bike builder for any one but me right now, untill my welding gets better you know.....
i got my light mounted today, i wired it to one of my gells, it works fine, i only used one though, i want the next bike i make have the other, it is super bright, i cant wait to ride tonight to see how good it works...
i am also working on a better pickup for my speedo, couse i got a NEW ONE two days ago and it is doing the same thing....i am thinking of useing a light or a color pickup swich, couse the speedo only uses 2 wires i am thinking it has asimple macanical swich in it, if i can make it a digital set up there will be no inaccuracy in its mesurements....(i will have a couple made in the next couple weeks)
you should see the shirt and pants i had on when i went down, big holes every were... i am still glad my bike did not role over couse it would have gutted my bike cam......good news though,(kinda, lol) my doc sez i have a minor skin infection or even a staff infection, so i am outa work for 2 weeks while i recover. i gess i will be able to weld my cart frame together, maby get the wheels on it too...
also on my way to work yesterday i got stopped by a sherif, he was a @$$hole told me to take it home, even after i explained why it is legal to ride my TOY on the side walk... but i cant blame him i flew past his budddy at Arbys at almost 25-30mph, after 17mph i think it is a machine not a toy... what ever i complemented him on his harley"D" pig bike and he got a better attitude and let me go with a quote, "a warning".... i dont mind not being able to ride around town for a while now, but it is way too fast for side walks, so i will ride it on the parking lots around town
oh ya my new light works great i can see things almost 500 feet away no problem, so i now can ride the paths around my aprtment
