| Vehicle | 2000 Honda XR250/400R Rugged steel frame, great suspension and brakes. |
| Motor | Lynch LEMCO - Agni 95 Permanent Magnet DC LEMCO-200 motor with Agni-95 reinforced armature 93% Eff. rated at 13kW continuous, 22kW pulse and 29kW peak output power @ 80 volts. |
| Drivetrain | Motor mounted on the swingarm drives the rear wheel. Chain and sprockets, direct drive 11:75 |
| Controller | Kelly KD72601 72v 600A + regen Oversized 600A controller to ensure performance without overheating. |
| Batteries | 24 Thunder Sky TS-LFP (LiFePO4) 60Ah, 3.00 Volt, Lithium-Polymer Lithium battery pack intended for both performance and range. 4.8kWh of energy, 180A continuous current draw, 300A pulse (30s) and 400A peak (5s). Purpose built BMS. |
| System Voltage | 80 Volts |
| Charger | 84VDC 15A |
| Heater | ride hard and you'll get warm. |
| DC/DC Converter | 60-84VDC in 12VDC 300W out |
| Instrumentation | Cycle Analyst (digital speedometer/odometer and battery monitoring system) |
| Top Speed | 65 MPH (104 KPH) Typical top speed @ 25% D.O.D. is 60mph. Typical top speed @ 50% D.O.D. is 55mph. Typical top speed @ 75% D.O.D. is 50mph. |
| Acceleration | 0-60mph in 5,6s. Outperforms a restricted (25kW) Honda CBR600R in 1st gear. |
| Range | 55 Miles (88 Kilometers) Depends on many variables, mainly on the riding style: Agressive off-road riding 30-40 miles, careful riding 75+ miles. Average normal use 45-55 miles. |
| Seating Capacity | Not comfortable for 2 people, but has extra footpegs and power for carrying a passenger. |
| Curb Weight | 320 Pounds (145 Kilograms) For both handling and massive low-end torque, it feels pretty much like a Honda XR600R. |
| Tires | Bridgestone Motocross Competition |
| Conversion Time | Much more than I expected. Active research and trial-error method. |
| Conversion Cost | 5,000€ Total (probably more) 360€ 2nd hand LEMCO motor 440€ 93% Eff. Agni-95 armature 400€ electronic motor controller 2,500€ lithium batteries 1,000€ electrical stuff 300€ mechanical stuff 500€ misc I sold the outdated gas-burner for 500€ The donor frame (2nd hand) cost, restoration cost and replacement parts of the rolling chassis aren't included in the conversion total cost. |
| Additional Features | Safety circuit breaker located on the top of the tank. Improved brakes (wave rotors, stainless steel brake lines) Variable force regenerative brake 35W HID Xenon headlight and LED tail light (efficiency) Footpegs for the passenger Carbon fiber bodywork battery/motor covers 100% street legal, DOT approved |
| These videos are tests of the v1.0 prototype (brushless system) WebPage WebPage I returned the brushless motor+controller back to the supplier. These are the v2.0 prototype videos (brushed system, lead-acid batteries) WebPage WebPage These are the new v3.5 prototype videos (high performance brushed system, lithium batteries) WebPage WebPage Compared to commercially available production electric motorbikes like Vectrix or Quantya, this homebuilt prototype using state-of-the-art components has better range and performance for almost the same cost. | |
