Re: 10kW Motorbike Conversion

I live out of town and use the bike mostly for daily business rides into town. QS-Motors did offer me a 12kW liquid cooled motor as an upgrade, but it was 56 kg and I politely declined. I'm only for a few km on the Newell Highway and go full speed to avoid trucks piling up behind me or even overtaki...

Re: 10kW Motorbike Conversion

Top speed is 110kph limited by the max. rpm of the hub motor. Consumption is 4-5kWh/100km when doing 70-80kph and range then is more than 120km. Going faster the consumption jumps up a lot to 7-8kW/100km. The hub motor is rated 8kW but you cannot put 8kW through it permanently it gets really hot the...

Re: 10kW Motorbike Conversion

Thanks Terry ! Yes, I have the bike running and had a permit for one day to test it on the open road. If I can believe my current readings it will use 4kWh/100km at 90km/h which is much better than expected and should give a range of 180km at that speed. I found an engineer in Tamworth which is happ...

Re: 10kW now 8kw Motorbike Conversion

My 4 kW scooter does 70 km/h, and that's honkin' on bobo. So 8 kW should manage 100 km/h (eventually). See, it all depends on factors like weight and aerodynamics: I have a mountain bike (with street tires) with a 1.5kW motor doing 65Km/h with me (105Kg) folded flat on the bike. The 250 Kawasaki is...

Re: 10kW Motorbike Conversion

Why not get the 17" rim? it would probably get you a better selection of tyres too. Shouldn't be any problem fitting as the 17" tyres are generally lower profile. Edit - I see from the ad it is actually a really wide 17" rim, so may have problems fitting in an older 250. Also the 10k...

Re: 10kW Motorbike Conversion

https://www.qs-motor.com/product/new-10000w-17inch-in-wheel-hub-motor-with-6-0x17-rim/ Might be a good place to start. Seems like the voltage range is compatible too? Thanks man! They did not have a 10kW hub motor in a 16 inch rim but an 8kW which I have now ordered in a kit together with a complet...

Re: 10kW Motorbike Conversion

Thanks for your reply, Hi Martin, The motor on the swingarm is a well travelled route. If you can make it fit I think it will work quite well. I It fits OK. The battery though - a little bulky for the energy stored, but the right price I guess. I wanted a Lithium battery and being in regional NSW a ...

10kW Motorbike Conversion

Hi Everybody, I am in the process to convert a 250cc Kawasaki motorbike into a 10kW EV. I got the bike, a 10kW Golden Motor motor and a 72V (VEC500) controller from the same company (...is not the best, I know, I know). I also have purchased a Lithium battery bank (Winston) 72V/90Ah....24 cells actu...
