Tech Help / Info required for first conversion
« on: November 08, 2021, 04:33:40 AM »
Hi all, first post.
I know next to nothing about converting a bike from engine to ev but I’m in the position of either rebuilding a top end on a two stroke or going the green route and converting. Since everything is going electric in the future it would make sense to convert and so I have questions.
The bike in question is a 1995 Yamaha TZR50RR.
I’d like to use at least a 10kw motor. The frame should be able to handle the extra power as they were often raced at around that power.
The first question is, how hard is a conversion? I have a small workshop and tools but no lathe/mill.
Question 2, what hardware will I require in all?
Question 3, what is a ball park cost for a conversion kit?
Final question, where the hell do I get a kit from?
Thanks in advance for any information offered.
