The Suzuki project bike is on hold until it warm up. Its too friggin cold to work out in the non heated garage.

New project! This was a total impulse but but its cool. I bought a 36V electric super pocket bike ( I would never fit on the small pockets). It worked kinda when I bought it but the wiring was a mess, the speed controlled was rattling around on top of the batteries and was just not put together well. Stripped everythign down, rewired it, and now it works a bit better. Sock motor is a 500W 36V 40A setup good for about 30 km/h nominal, 40 km/hr at best is you weigh 50 lbs like my son. The frame is all steel sturdy and heavy. Fairings are plastic and i fear the first time I drop it. It has working turn signals, head light, tail lights, horn, speedometer, and voltage gauge (battery level).

Therefore; its not broken, so lets fix it.

New setup:

Motor: Turnigy 80-100 7000W 130A motor. ( R/C Helicopter motor)
Controller: 160A Castle Creations Phoenix using Servo Tester (Pot to ESC - remember no R/C controller here)
Batteries: Four Odyssey PC545 Sealed Lead Acid in Series @ 48V
Estimated top speed: 45 MPH
Estimated Milage: 16 km to 60% battery life left. > need to recharge.
Additional: Change incandescent lighting system to LED, maybe some rattle can paint.

The motor is ordered; unfortunately its back-ordered.
