Super Impressed With This
« on: August 07, 2012, 06:30:29 AM »

That is amazing.  I skipped a bunch of the pages in the middle.  Is he using a gearbox from a Yamaha?  The bulk of the bike seems to be machined out of blocks of aluminum and steel, piece by piece.  Wow.

It's a six speed Suzuki gearbox with an electric motor custom built in. This guy is amazing, everything is done on manual lathes and mills, no CNC/CAD at all. AMAZING!!!

The only thing I don't see is a battery. Unless the battery and that BMS unit in front of the rear wheel are one and the same?
