Still, awesome work guys.

Guys, this is soo inspiring. I am totally impressed with the range. I am not a café racer biker but this inspired me to start with an electric custom build. Thx for all the vids.

i love how simple these bikes are, yes there are complicated measurments and making a battery pack is tedious but the part count is so low that replacing / fixing things must be so convinent compared to diagnosing a gasoline engine and taking things apart. Although i guess repairing the damaged parts on electric bikes is not as easy in certain situations, a dead motor often is not repairable and you have to just buy a new one.

You can rewind a motor stator but people thing it’s rocket science. Sadly most of man has not mastered electrical and the harnessing of it. It’s all about precision, just as puting a block back together and adjusting valve gaps are. It can be done easy and cheap but people will not educate themselves further than the engine. Motors are useful outside of electric cars.

Sadly a build like this would be far beyond "streetlegal" in my country. Great work guys, jealous regards.

DIY builds that I've seen about 3+ years ago always had a poor range limitation and it's why I walked away from going beyond just research.

theres only one suggestion i can make that may or may not be helpful and thats to just put a short fender in front of the rear wheel so that youre not kicking dust, dirt, or even rocks at that motor. beyond that you guys did a phenomenal job and this is one of the coolest things ive ever seen.

Great !!! U could build a delta/star-switch (where the 3 cables go IN the motor) in order to end up with 2 electronic gears, one for launching and accelerating, and one for cruising and top-speed... Makes life easier and extends the range and battery-life by raised efficiency.

Amazing project and great teamwork!!! Drive safely that beast ;)

Sick build, i love the idea with the supercapacitors! I would think about changing from a mechanical contactor/relais to MOSFET. Relais tend to open due to bigger bumps/vibrations.
