Nuts&Volts

A little bit more info at my blog site http://goelectricgofast.wordpress.com/ Keep the questions coming

My Katana would top out at 70mph. No transmission so its just a single ratio between the front sprocket to the rear. Other specs, 430lbs, 40HP, 80mile range, ok acceleration. I will probably gear the R6 to a similar top speed. Aiming for 360lbs, 100mile range and will upgrade to 80HP+ down the road. I'll get a better pic of the R6 soon

Hey guys, visited here a couple times, but finally joined up last week. I've been riding for about a year and a half now and believe it or not the majority of that has been on an electric motorcycle. Back in the winter of 09 I converted a 89 Suzuki Katana to an electric commuter. I've finally got sick of the old bike and am in the process of converting an 03 R6 to electric. Before converting the R6 I road it around to some experience on a gas bike. It was a tough decision to actually strip the R6 and go ahead with the conversion, but I had plenty of money invested in the electric bits. I joined up to share this current build with the community and hopefully meet some cool riders along the way. I'm from the west side of Columbus, but am currently an engineering student at Ohio State. -Kyle
