Nice to see people finally getting it! I been converting My Real Vespas and Lambrettas since the 90's much to the dismay of absolutely every gas buffer around lol. No I take pink slips with my 1964 GT (British TV)200 converted to 72v 10kw LiFePo4 130ah 0-100mph in 1.7 seconds, top speed of 145 mph (hopefully soon 160mph if I don't kill myself trying) and 12" tyre and rim upsizing, Hand Built Swing Arm SO far, getting about 850 K per charge which is fantastic. Way more than any Car, Truck, Bike in Petrol lol. 34 minutes to charge from 15% empty to 85% full via speed charger thank you very much! . Keep it up mate! Looks like the Retrospective Scooters UK pop in E Kit you're using there. Not bad at all! I had and have to make my Owen swing arms from scratch for type of serious speeds and long range driving I do.
Yea, you can’t drive this thing and not smile. Converted it four years ago, haven’t needed to anything at all to it since. This one is super fun, 4kw. Working on a 7kw now, it’s an absolute beast. Hard to keep the front wheel down. Not a kit, all custom. I assume you are not using a hub motor? Those specs are out of this world.
Can’t wait for your details on build, well done!
Awesome! I have 64 Vespa GS 160 project, I want to do this!
This is the dream bro, please keep making vids of it I want to build one so bad
Nice effort sir, a company over in Uk “ Retrospective Scooters” does nice electric conversion for Vespa small n large frame variants along with the lambretta range. You should check them out
I have reached out to them. They seem unwilling to play ball.
@@sunlightconversions828 strange from Nial too do that as most of his customers come from USA and Europe.
@@sunlightconversions828 maybe you could offer lower cost kits than Retrospective Scooters dpes
Nice! Converting a 150 Sprint from the late sixties. Got my hands on a QS 7kW. :) Will also be keeping the old rat look.
7kw will be a beast. You could probably push it to 15kw peak.
@@sunlightconversions828 Planning on 20kW :D
how is your project going?
@@user-xl1qb5yn1z Sloooowly. ;) Happened to pick up a Honda CR85 frame and now I don’t know which one to finish first.
I want one of these
Cool project! Please paint that poor large frame! Max speed? 38 mph?
Thx. That paint job is 58 years in the making. I think its perfect! No, top speed is about 60 mph. Will make another video on speed/power.
@@sunlightconversions828 i have 1962 Vespa with some amazing patina .will not be painting it either. but i will be watching you closely !!! im going to do this!!!!
Thanks for sharing! What controller are you using? I assume it's KLS7245N
It’s the KLS7230N
Which app are you using to monitor your range and power curve?
The overlay on the left? ANT BMS.
Hi, what BMS you use? the app is great
ANT BMS. It's ok. All integrated BMS's of this this style have their own issues.
Hi what is the Top speed?
55-60
Is there anyone making those new rear swing arm to accommodate both hub motor and rear spring?
Or is this provided by QS motor as a kit ie hub motor and rear swing arm
To my knowledge, no one is selling a swing arm and not provided by QS. If you want to build your own, send me a message.
We manufacture conversion kits for vintage vespas. We also sell the rear swing arms separately. Please contact me if you are interested!
What motor are you using? Is it a hub motor?
Yep, 4kw QS motor. Peak is 8kw if not more.
Do you have a link to it?
hello friend, how many km do you do with a charge
Hi! Depending on speed. About 30-60 miles
@@sunlightconversions828 thk
it's sooooooooooooooooooooooooo silent
