My old Aprilia RS50 is going to REFUEL at LS
« on: June 19, 2013, 04:31:54 PM »
A couple of years ago I owned a very hopped-up 2003 Aprilia RS50 that blew-up for the final time (the con rod gave up). I gave it to my son-in-law who sold it to a fellow by the name of Henry who planned to electrify it.  He now has it running and it is powered by a 2013 Zero motor (apparently he knows someone at Zero).  He plans to take it to the REFUEL races at Laguna Seca in July.  Here is a link to a video of the bike on a dyno. If you go to the REFUEL event, check it out. I sure hope his con rod doesn't break like mine did.   ;)



Attached is a photo of the bike when I owned it.
current bikes: 2018 16.6 kWh Zero S, 2011 Royal Enfield Bullet 500 Classic, 2009 BMW F650GS, 2007 BMW R1200R, 2005 Triumph T-100 Bonneville, 2002 Yamaha FZ1 and a 1978 Honda Kick 'N Go Senior.
