How I Built An Electric Motorcycle From SCRATCH - Build & Test Ride!

In this video I show how I built a torquey electric motorcycle from scratch. Check out my blog for all the details on what parts and materials I used and how I put it all together: Get the plans here: I built this bike for less than HALF the price of an equally sized ZERO S (~$5000 Canadian). This aggressive looking streetfighter uses the same 24 kW (32 hp) drivetrain as the previous Cyber Trike project. Though equivalent to most 300cc street bikes in overall power, this little monster boasts a massive 250 ft-lb of max starting torque and only weighs 300 lbs. This produces a neck-snapping acceleration rate of ~8 m/s^2: However, as force (hp or watts) = speed * torque, we can’t increase the torque from a given amount of horsepower without taking from the top speed. The top speed for this electric streetfighter is 120
