Below is a list of the parts I used and where I got them, but you will have to do some research to figure out what fits your bike and requirements.

However, I just read the user's manual and learned as I went.Įvery motorbike is different but the basic components can be the same.

A little knowledge of motorcycle maintenance wouldn't hurt, too. The following instructable will not give you exact step by step instructions, but if you have some mechanical skills and welding ability you should be okay. With a top speed of over 70 mph and 10 miles per charge, this vehicle is perfect for me. This may take a long time to pay off in gas savings, but if you add the fun of building and all of the environmental benefits, it was well worth the effort. All in all, it cost about $3000 to buy and build. This project took about 3 months of research and development (not counting waiting for parts to come in or help from a friend with the welding). I've always wanted a motorcycle and decided that making an electric motorcycle would be a good EV project, keeping costs down, and be fun to ride. I only work 3 miles from home but with gas prices getting out of control, I thought it would be great to have an electric vehicle.

Also, make sure to use at least the minimum amount of salt recommended in the homebrew as the temps rise, you need the sodium replacement if you’re sweating. My question is other than juice, can you suggest modifications in lieu of table sugar for energy and hydration.īoth raw/organic honey or agave can work great in the homebrew (substitute in the same quantities for the sugar, or to taste), but you do have to shake well in order to make sure they don’t settle out. I am also trying to wean myself off 1/2 dose adrenalean “lip tonic delivery system” (biorhythm brand- caffeine, hoodia g, synephrine, yohimbe) capsule for energy.

Question: I am using the homebrew sugar formulations (sometimes added to green tea). Sugar Alternatives for Energy and Hydration I’m not a videographer or editor, but I put this little video together so you hear it all right from Dan. My first time on any kind of electric bike. Oh, and he also let me take it out for a spin as well. I had to get going, but I told him I’d call to have him come by Mudsharks sometime so I could have a better look.Ī couple days later, he came to see me and let me check out his custom built electric chopper bike named Kermit.ĭan is super interesting, and I loved hearing him tell me all about how his love for building bikes started….and more details about the Kermit build. His name was Dan and I told him how incredible I thought his bike was. I watched him cruising along and then I lost him when he turned off in a different direction.īut the next day I saw the bike parked outside of a local bakery, so I went in to find the owner. So, the other day I was driving in downtown Courtenay and I saw a guy on one of the most unique bikes I’ve ever seen. Even though I am a road cyclist, I also love coming across cool bikes of all styles and varieties.

Of course, with a name like Loving the Bike that is pretty obvious.
