I am aiming at a Compact single seater like the Scorpion P6 setup but EV instead of Gas powered and multiple posted weights for them is 695-725lbs wet
Doing a little research today, from what i understand the NEWER 05+ Yamaha R1 engines weight is around 190-200 lbs with the R6 engine only weighing about 7 lbs lighter...Correct me if im wrong
So 725lbs - 190lbs puts you at 535lbs
So 535lbs - 5 gallons of gas (44.5lbs) puts you at ~490lbs
So 490lbs - cooling and oil systm (~30lbs) puts you at ~ 450-460lbs
So going off those ROUGH calculations the rolling chasis without the gas transplant would be 450-460lbs and im pretty sure a bunch of weight is not being removed out of unknown..
Not a final kit, as i am still learning about EV's but most EV motorcycle conversions use 48v brushed motors for cheapness and in most sport bike configurations they are using the 8-10hp DC motors and they claim pretty quick acceleration numbers with those engines at MAX amps...but i am thinking of going dual smaller motors for more traction doing FWD configuration like they do on the EV autocross circuits in Australia...
Start Weight ~450lbs
2 x DC Brushed Scooter Motor 48v 5hp continous 13.5hp peak @ 300 amps 24.8lbs ($195) ~50lbs @ $390
Ecomodder DIY Gazzila 600 Amp Motor Controller 4.4lbs ~$75
15 x 3.2v 40Ah 1.5kg $52 (22.5kg (11.25lbs) @ $780) for 25.6 mile range
Which puts it at the 550-600lb range without anymore weight reduced from the vehicle.
If i listed or calculated anything wrong let me know and ill correct it.. this is still a learning experience for me..
