| Vehicle | 1978 Honda CB750 F2 Built by my fiance Lori and I with the help of a local machine shop- Ironman Fabrications time and space. A CraigsList.org donor invited me to
drag this motorcycle out of his yard. It took three of us to get
it onto a truck sideways and we left a streak where the rear
tire had dug into his grass. The thing was rusted in a locked up position. |
|---|
| Motor | D&D Motor Systems- Inc. Separately Excited DC
13HP regen and reverse. Capable of ~300A.
Id liken it to a 250cc bikes power- though when and how they make power are different. If I had gears like a Honda rebel itd be no contest. |
|---|
| Drivetrain | One speed- 420 chain. 12/60 gears.
|
|---|
| Controller | Alltrax 4884
300A controller. |
|---|
| Batteries | 16 China HiPower HiPower LifePo4- 3.20 Volt- Lead-Acid- AGM
The whole pack is 100AH at 48V. Do far ive gone 20 mile son it- so no clue on real range- though I suspect its over 60 mi in mixed driving. Update soon. |
|---|
| System Voltage | 48 Volts |
|---|
| Charger | unknown BC0 or BCO 16 cell balancer charger for Li
58.6v- 8Amp.
Slick Little fellow works well. after first rides- the batteries are within 30mv of each other. |
|---|
| Heater | whatever Im wearing. |
|---|
| DC/DC Converter | nope. isolated circuit. Solar powered 5v USB circu
LI rechargeable battery powered- and the back tail-light is a
spooklight that has accelerometer controlled brake lights
and turn signals that are wirelessly controlled by a remote on
the handle bars. |
|---|
| Instrumentation | factory Honda Speedo.
CellLog monitors on all cells.
48v cart gauge for overall pack at a glance is mounted to the tank. |
|---|
| Top Speed | 55 MPH (88 KPH)
The top speed is around 55 mph so far. Only the Interstate and highways around NWA are over 40mph- so I have enough go-power to get a speeding ticket just about everywhere in my range. |
|---|
| Acceleration | confidence inspiring- and really quite good.
0-30 is faster than most cars are at the stoplights. 30-50 is
smooth but slower. Im due to experiment with the gearing
some.
Itll do a burnout. |
|---|
| Range | 50 Miles (80 Kilometers)
Will update with solid scientific information soon. |
|---|
| Watt Hours/Mile | tbd. instrumentation is lacking. Only have a battery meter. |
|---|
| EV Miles | | Start: | 33-055 Miles (53-185 Kilometers) |
|---|
| Current: | 33 Miles (53 Kilometers) |
|---|
| Total: | -33-022 Miles (-53-132 Kilometers) |
|---|
|
|---|
| Seating Capacity | 2ish. seats 2 but no rear sets for passenger feet. easy to add
them back. |
|---|
| Curb Weight | 400 Pounds (181 Kilograms)
this is an absolute guess- but it is lighter and better handling
than before. |
|---|
| Tires | some on sale rubber from oldbikebarn.com front tire came with the e-bayed rim. |
|---|
| Conversion Time | Ive spent about 3 years doing this.Ive even moved houses in
between.
This is the bikes Revision 2.0 Anything I Know I did wrong the first time I have corrected but Im sure there is more to learn. |
|---|
| Conversion Cost | 3-4000$ from scratch. almost all of that is EV pats. TH lead acid version was half that. |
|---|
| Additional Features | The bike has had the rear brake deleted and shaved down the old brackets so now the regen motor does all rear braking. |

Made in the U.S.A.
