I drew the first ideas for the bike on paper and roughly looked for the materials and looked at it with pictures, although I finally did it in 3D design.

Research and Purchase of Materials:

Tools Used:

To make the bike I used these tools.

-Radial

- Soldering iron

- Drill

- Claus Allen

- Wrench

- Gloves

-Glasses

-beak parrot

-bench snail

-hammer

- Polisher

- pliers

-screwdriver

-droaches.

3D Chassis Design:

I drew the chassis with a pencil and the design I liked the most I made it in 3D with the Tinkercad program.

Construction Material

I used iron to make the bike because it's cheaper and I can work on it because I can't weld aluminum. Iron is also easy to obtain but weighs quite a bit.

Chassis Construction

First I got the irons to size, then I cut them and glued them to size like the 3D designs. and finally I welded the chassis.

Electronics

I connected the motorcycle electronics to it. I soldered the wires as you see in the picture. I connected the accelerator LCD to the engine and battery. Low solder to the wires to avoid short circuit.

Assemble the Pieces

This step I made the chassis to the size of the steps and mounted the steps to the chassis.

Driving and Functional Tests

When I finished the chassis I mounted the whole bike to test if it was going well or grandma to change something like for example I changed the brake support and roughly I was ready to review the welds.

Preparation for Painting

First I went over the welds on the chassis, and roughly put in the putty. I roughly polished all the putty and cleaned the chassis to paint.

Painting

IMG_20200902_153524.jpg

Per pintar la bicicleta vaig penjar el xassís i vaig mullar el terra per no aixecar pols. Després vaig fer dues capes d’imprimació en spray dues capes de pintura i finalment dues capes de laca.

Final Touches

Finally I mounted the whole bike I put the pair cables inside the chassis so it is not seen. I send you I cleaned the steps and I go to cava to paint the bike. Also put lights.

Power Figures

IMG_20200830_155730 (1) (3) (1) (1).jpg

The bike has a 1500w and 48v motor. It reaches about 63 km / h.

The battery is 48v and 12A the battery lasts about 25 km on a charge.

The engine does not wear out but the battery does.

You can do up to 100,000km without doing any rough maintenance would change the battery.

Positive Things About Electric Motorcycles

- You do not have to do any maintenance.

- Recharge the battery and it costs € 0.5.

- Does not pollute and does not make noise.

- You don't have gears, you just have to accelerate. - The motor does not need chains.
