Intro: 48V Electric Flat Tracker
About a year ago, my dad and I had the idea to convert a beach cruiser bike into an electric motorcycle. We purchased the bike and all the parts necessary and got to
work. We modified the frame and rebuilt the bike from the ground up. When we finished, we were extremely satisfied with the results - a 48 volt, 15 horsepower board
track racer.

Step 2: Front Fork
We removed the original rigid front fork and replaced it with a Manitou suspension fork. We also bolted on an Avid disc brake set to the front end. We chose to go with
mechanical discs instead of hydraulics simply because they are less expensive and less complicated. The Avid BB7's are fully adjustable. You can dial in each pad
separately.

Step 4: Rear Hub/Sprocket
The rear hub we used is designed as a "dual disc" front hub. It has a standard mountain bike 6 bolt disc pattern on both sides. We took a blank 66 tooth rear sprocket and
drilled it to accept the 6 bolt pattern. The alignment of the hub, sprocket, and disc rotor are critical.

Step 7: Mount: Drilled and Welded
Centering the motor ring is very important. The ring is a section of a stainless steel light post salvaged from a scrap yard cut to 4 1/4 inches wide. It is 8 1/4 inches in
diameter which leaves about a 1/8 inch gap around the motor. It is perforated on the drill press to allow air flow to the motor and notched on the right side for chain
clearance. The motor mount is welded offset inside the ring for optimal motor shaft and chain placement. Mounts are welded to the underside of the motor ring to accept
the removable foot peg assembly. The foot pegs themselves are aluminum BMX "grinder" pegs.

Step 9: Welding Complete
Here you can see the bike coming together. The beefy wheels and lower saddle position give it a retro look. Notice the brazed on eyelets for the rear brake cable routing.

Step 12: The Maiden Voyage
This was the first chance we really got to ride the bike to its (almost) full potential. The bike is smooth, quiet, well-balanced, all torque and pretty fast. It's a blast to ride!
After finishing it, we decided to call it the EV-12 for various reasons.

I definitely agree this is a great look for an electric bike. I wonder about leaving the batteries opena nd exposed though. Any dieas on building casing around
the batteries without making it too bulky (likely also packed with foam to keep them in good shape)?
Best wishes,
Luke

I have a E+Bikes Tidal Force M-750; which gets me a good 20MPH. The acceleration is terrific on the "Turbo" setting and a dog on regular. Of
course, turbo setting gets less distance on the battery. But after looking at this build, and having some experience now, I know I want a 1000 watt or
more. The EV-12 is the right idea, though I would use NMIH batteries and I've been looking into RC motors too.
