Electric Motorcycle
An electric motorcycle I was building in high school.

85MPH Theoretical Max Speed 200 Mile Theoretical Max Range 249.54 Nm Theoretical Torque Suzuki GS650 |
Contribution |
I disassembled a Suzuki GS650 and refurbished the chassis by removing all rust and applying new paint. I calculated the battery pack specifications needed to achieve a desired 85MPH max speed and 200 mile range. I researched and sourced components needed for completion of the project. |
Improvement |
I didn't get too deep into making this project a reality, but weirdly enough, I think it would've been better to start at a complete 0 instead of with a chassis. I think I got a lot of confusion trying to figure out how to turn a gas vehicle into an electric one instead of starting from scratch. It also put restrictions on my design, as the chassis was unideal to house any battery pack shape I came up with. |
