Electric Motorcycle Project

 

 

 

 

 

 

I've done a few EV projects over the years and used to be involved with EV racing in the US for several years. My best vehicle to date has been a VW Scirocco conversion, but it's 1200 Kg of vehicle to move just one person around. A few years ago I obtained my motorcycle licence and have a collection of Moto Morinis. I decided however that it was about time I built an electric motorcycle.

Eventually I'd like to build a TWEV (two wheeled electric vehicle) from the ground up incorporating hub centre steering, lithium batteries, a recumbent seating position and substantial or fully enclosed bodywork.

In the mean time I've started converting a conventional motorcycle, despite the fact that the aerodynamics actually make for quite a poor range.
