My First EV Conversion – 75mph Street Bike Electric Motorcycle
This was my first EV build, which started in 2021. Since then I’ve put over 6000 miles on the bike, most commuting to work 50% city and 50% highway miles.
Many lessons learned during the build, but shockingly few issues after the initial road test ride.
