@@mrtonytj5000 On a big bike like this, you would be surprised how well lead acid will work for a quarter of the cost. He's using 100ah batteries tell me where you can get 100ah 48v lithium-ion battery cheap enough for a DIY sportbike like this? SLA's still have their place in EV cant write them off just yet. 100ah lithium-Ion that would cost about 3k not worth it for a DIY like this. Dealers like Zero bikes get quantity discounts us DIY'ers don't have that option. Your logic is flawed.
You can say many things without uttering a single word. Purrfect video. No blah blahs I'll do my electric bike soon or latter.. That was the kick that I needed Thanx
good for you djcvids. you like many others are pioneers to the free energy revolution that most people dont realize you are playing a great part in one day. cudos
Awesome! What a nice job you've done! The engine sound is off course something to get used to, totally different from a conventional engine...Now it's time for manufacturers to produce high capacity batteries to enlarge the range and speed. This is the beguining of a new age.
The point, my friend, is to show that it can be done! There are several nay sayers out there who just look at what things should be rather than looking at all the steps in between. As an engineer myself I admire the work this person put into the project to prove a point. True, it may not be the most bang for the buck but that is why it is called a hobby. Didn't mean to go on the offensive but it bugs me when people don't understand the full process of designing and engineering.
This is a cool experiment, I won't belittle you with what I would do. I often think about this and I am glad that you made one. I imagine that you have everyone under the sun trying to explain the problems. That is easy to do when you won't spend the money yourself (themselves).
First off: Very cool job on the conversion! And: I owned a 1985 Ninja 600R back in the day, and still think that era had some great styling. Kawasaki said they won't make motorcycles powered only by internal combustion engines starting in 2035. So Kawasakis will all be hybrids, or fully EV starting in 2035.
Thats really neat. It not that fact that it can't got 180mph it's the fact that its all electric now. I'm sure he was just thinking outside the box and he nailed it.
I was inspired ! I just snagged a little block with flexible wands with alligator clips on them to help with my harness. it's called the SolderBuddy Moto. Go Fast! ;)
Great Job! In the end, it looks like a regular bike. It has been over 10yrs. What happened to it. Is it in the back of the shed collecting dust or, have you upgraded the batteries ride it on a regular basis?
I have a few tips: Don't waste a perfectly working bike like your 250r but do as he did, take an old one and work on it. Also, take your time and learn to ride your actual bike first before doing this kind of work. It's always good to get some years of riding experience before starting to modify bikes ;) Nice to see some young people interested in these conversions as this is the future!! :)
This build was WAY ahead of its time lol, seriously slap some good lithium batteries on and it would spike your range, top speed and performance would be really cool to see
That's awesome for 09 I'd love to see a company produce an actual conversion kit, or like Mission R to partner with someone and create something affordable.
Why do people keep asking that question?! Of course you need a motorcycle licence to ride it, it's still a motorcycle and it's still being used on public roads. It's not a toy. It's big and heavy and probably very powerful.
TheKnightsShield some people suffer from fucktard syndrome. It's like... Ok it did have a gas motor and now it's electric powerd... Is it road legal??? Lmao 🤣! Duh! Nope it's not anymore. Of course it's road legal still. Freakin stupid people. LoL 😂!
OK, there are a few things, I'd like to know. How fast does it go? How far does it go on a single charge? What batteries and motor did you use? Otherwise I am really tempted to do something like this on my Suzuki GSX750F that is currently a non-runner (the clutch is knackered).
Hey man Im about to get a 94 Ninja and was wondering what motor you used or what could I salvage a motor out of to use for a bike that size (i.e Central air condition unit/ Bench grinder / Big washer or dryer?) I am trying to do this project with the least amout of money possible.
Good job, 2009 you were definitely ahead of the curve with DIY! :-)
Juc Lee 2009 was the time people made good projects, now people just make crappy mods to vehicles instead of doing some maaaaaddd conversions.
+Juc Lee I was watching and getting mad at the SLA's! Then realised it was 2009.. lol

Now you should rebuild and use modern lipo batteries and really boost the performance
Great job coming from almost a decade ago...he must riding on UFO technology by now..
VERY slick conversion! Love how the mechanicals peek through the fairing.
This is the best quick conversion vid on youtube! fantastic work.
Very interesting project and the best thing about it is that it actually works as we've seen in the footage. Nice work!
Can't get over how quiet this sounds. Great job.
Excellent proyect man. Congratulations to you from Colombia in south America
You did a great job on the bike. It looks fantastic.
that's so cool- you really got you're stuff together and you obviously know what you're doing!!
Impressively good looking with the fairings re-installed. Some expert striping and bang.
Best conversion I've seen
This is a really beautiful example of DIY engineering. Great job!
Gratulálok! Ilyen egy jó videó a végén a Specifikációkkal! Csak a Magyar nem képes ilyesmire. Örültem a videódnak! THX!
This is the best and neat conversion as of my knowledge
If you having this bike please make an another video
You can say many things without uttering a single word.
Purrfect video. No blah blahs
I'll do my electric bike soon or latter..
That was the kick that I needed
Thanx
well done guys, lovely project work and the bike looks great.
Excellent job. You are a very good builder.
good for you djcvids. you like many others are pioneers to the free energy revolution that most people dont realize you are playing a great part in one day. cudos
Now still watching in 2019
I want one now! Good video and even better job on the bike
Very clever design stage. Using cardboard mock ups, Great idea. Great vid.
That's awesome, nice work!
Looking good! The green machine!
Awesome! What a nice job you've done! The engine sound is off course something to get used to, totally different from a conventional engine...Now it's time for manufacturers to produce high capacity batteries to enlarge the range and speed. This is the beguining of a new age.

You probably played the music too!
Nice job, great project. I'm about to buy an Ultra Bee, things have come a long way...
Really nice done! I like the noice it makes too, it really is a ordinary mc sound about it, eventhough it's an electric motor!
Thanks for the video
you bike look great
and thanks for the specs
beautiful bike, great work

BIG and Fantastic work! congratulations! from spain.
Nice job! I would buy one of those. That's just brilliant.
GREAT JOB! I hope to get some time to do a similar project. Something along the lines of the monotracer.
Cool bike, nice job.
This is the best conversion I've seen yet. Great job! I would like to know where to get the motor and electronics for this kind of project.
Thanks, you got me stoked to build my own!
Very beautiful work. Kudos.
Excellent work. Very nice project.
Good Job! Very impressive!
Nice video, nice job, excellent project! I will make one for me too. Congratulations!
That is sooo cool! Awesome job.

Very nice, clean conversion! Great job :-)
this is great hands on learning,, more people need to get off there azzz and get in to these electric projects.
What a beauty!!! Magic hands!!!
looks real good am thinking of building my self one soon
great work!
good job dude. screw all the nay sayers. good deal.
I like the music - I dont know why - thanks for the video - Ive seen it about 100 times- I REALLY REALLY want to build my own also ! have a safe 4th
very nice, looks great
this is awesome well done!
great work I saw a book on how to convert your bike to and electric one I think I have a winter project to compete with now
Nice work! You can hardly tell the difference to look at it!
I was inspired ! I just snagged a little block with flexible wands with alligator clips on them to help with my harness. it's called the SolderBuddy Moto. Go Fast! ;)
Nice project!
Good job!
Wow, 2009 electric motorbikes weren’t even close to mainstream. Great job, hope it’s still saving you petrol!
Nice work man
COOL ! congratssss !!
So cool I love this bike =)
greets from Germany
Great Job! In the end, it looks like a regular bike. It has been over 10yrs. What happened to it. Is it in the back of the shed collecting dust or, have you upgraded the batteries ride it on a regular basis?
Awesomeness looks great too
τεχνολογικο διαμαντι μπραβο
Nice clean project, I like the layout. What is your 0-42 time? have you found the actual range on the bike?
Cool man good product
@thaboxking You're right about that, and good for you guys for being ahead of us Americans on this.
I have a few tips:
Don't waste a perfectly working bike like your 250r but do as he did, take an old one and work on it.

greets from Thailand everbody :)

Incredible!
This is SWEET!
The bike looks fantastic. Just that the speed is almost decreased to a quarter of the possible. Would it go any faster at a later stage?
bello e veloce ottimo lavoro!
nice conversion - well done :)
Good Job !! Well done.....
Nice work. What size sprockets did you use and were did you get them?
Awesome job! What kind of range does your choice of batteries give you?
cool.
impressive work.
do you use it daily / often?
could you commute with it?
range?
speed?
nice vdeo.
This video deserve more views
nicely done! looks amazing, did you buy your parts online or at an particular stores?
I love it great idea i think i am going to build one myself.
hey men great bike. its got to be one of the best looking E bikes i've seen.
what range and speeds do you get on this bike?
really awesome !!!!
That's awesome for 09 I'd love to see a company produce an actual conversion kit, or like Mission R to partner with someone and create something affordable.

nice bike, one of the cleanest builds I've seen. Any reason why you didn't try to put in a gearbox?
great job.
Do you not have any EMC tests and build approvals to be conducted before you can take it to the streets?
I'm thinking of building one myself. although I have no idea which Batterys fits the job best. Any suggestions are welcome.
NICE BIKE! I LIKE TO HAVE ONE ALSO! THANKS FOR POSTING BRO!
Nice Job! What soundtrack tunes were used on the vid?
