Eco Factor: Motorcycle with zero carbon emission electric motor.
For those who wish to try out their hand on some cool and useful DIYs, we have an amazing and simple project. A fat tire beach cruiser bicycle converted into a 48 volt electric motorcycle. Father and son teamed up and collected everything they thought to be necessary and assembled them in a purchased bike. The result was satisfactory, a 48 volt electric, 15 horsepower motorcycle.
A Briggs and Stratton Etek motor supplys it enough power for a smooth speed of 25 or 30 mph for a couple of hours. All the information about the conversion is available step by step if you are interesting in reading it. Many of you may wonder what’s so great about conversion. Well, zero emission motors are the greatest part in that, especially when you are talking in relation to global warming.
The Dark Side: Just 15 horsepower with a maximum speed of 30 doesn’t sounds impressive, for youngsters especially.
