The motorcycle frame I selected was a 1981 Kawasaki KZ.
I found it on Ebay for $125. It had good tires and brakes and had a title. I had some bearings and shafts laying around from
my Yacht conversion and other projects that I used for the bike. We started out with belt drives and then went to chain. There
have been many improvements and modifications along the way and there will many more to come.
| The "Granola Buster" |
|
| I wonder what it will do. |
Oct. 13th, My new Electric Motorcycle
will be called the "Granola Buster". I may go direct drive unless I see it won't be fast enough, instead of the transmission
like I planned. The field weakening on this one will be a little tougher to accomplish because the field terminals are inside
of the motor.
Oct. 1st, I now have the new motor
and frame in hand for my next Electric MotorCycle. The motor is a 2HP, 36 Volt, but is bigger than the 11.6HP motor I had
on the last one. The frame is another Kawasaki KZ frame. I am going to extend the swingarm on this frame and try and hook
the motor up through a transmission.
July 13th, Sold the Kawasaki,
time to start on a faster one.
| Bike show in Decatur, Texas |
|
| Lots of intrested lookers |
July 9th, took the
rear springs off of the rear shocks to lower the bike so my feet could reach the ground. Its a rough ride but I can control
it much better. I practiced my burn outs in a field. Pulling 600 amps while spinning the tire and holding the brake. We took
the bike to a bike show the other day and won the top Non-American Award.
