Hi, I'm looking to convert my Yamaha Chappyhttp://chappy50.free.fr/ to an electric motorcycle/moped and I was wondering if anyone could help. I went to the CoolFuel website (show from the science channel) and the host of the show drove an "electric bush motorcycle" with the following specs:
1978 Yamaha XS
Electric Motor
28 Peak HP Advanced DC Motor
http://kta-ev.com/
Motor Controller
Curtis model 1209 400 Amp
http://kta-ev.com/
Batteries
4 12V Odyssey PC 1200 40 Ah @ 48 Volts
http://www.odysseyfactory.com/
No transmission
Single 5 to 1 gear quick acceleration-top speed 50mph
The site however does not mention the range that the bike gets or charge time or anything else for that matter. I'm going to contact the companies that supply the battery and motor but in the meantime I was wondering if anyone has any input that could help me in any way. Thanks.
