Buy Sell Trade / 1990 Ninja ZX-6 complete electric conversion ready to ride!
« on: November 22, 2009, 08:32:33 PM »
This is a ready to ride motorcycle with nothing needed, just turn the key and go.  All details in the ebay ad.  Thanks for looking, and spread the word to anyone who may be interested, this would be a great bike for someone in college to get around campus or in the local town.

Tech Help / review of my schematic please
« on: August 20, 2009, 10:56:38 AM »
can someone take a look at this and tell me if anything looks wrong? I'm not grounding anything to the chassis, using 2 ga welding cable, am wondering about any additional resistors or diodes or fuses I would need.  I was told the EV200 contactor has a built in diode, does anyone know of that? thanks

General Discussion / introducing myself and my project
« on: August 02, 2009, 02:47:19 AM »
Hello all, I've been reading posts for a few weeks and have gotten started on my conversion.  It's actually for a grad school project so I'll probably be asking a lot of questions about formulas and techy stuff.  My conversion is a 1990 Ninja ZX-6, I picked it up without the ICE for $400 sold other stuff off of it for $50, straight frame, good plastics.  I'm also on Elmoto.com soaking up knowledge there so this is the same intro I used there.

So far I have a GE series wound 72 volt DC motor for it, I picked it up for $50 (rusty and dusty) but I dissassembled it, cleaned it and it seems to work great with 12v. test I put on it).  It's a 6.7" dia and weighs 57 lbs, I don't know much else because the plate data is ground down so all I have is the numbers, can anyone give me a clue as to what they mean?  I'm pretty sure but not positive, attached is a picture of it.  I'm most curious about HP and amperage.  emailed a couple of GE motor contacts and they claimed they couldn't find the number in any databases, I'm not sure how old it is, I think it should be plenty powerful enough because the guy I bought it from said it WAS powering a volkswagen EV.

other pieces are alltrax 7245, Magura throttle, 72v-12v. converter, kilovac 200 contactor so far

I'm trying to figure out how to mount this pig of a motor so I can figure out my battery space.  Looking at 6 x 12v batteries, I'd love a set of yellow tops but out of my budget, I want to keep it cheap at around $50 a battery, any ideas on this?
thanks
