Re: Honda Hornet to ZEM
Well done!
What are the specs (motor type, voltage, controller, wattage)?
And let us know how it goes with acceleration, top speed end range.
Extra photo's and maybe a video are more than welcome...

Re: Honda Hornet to ZEM
Motor:Mars ME 0810 Permanent Magnet DC , 48v DC motor,4.8 KW continuous and 15 KW for 1 minute
Controller:Kelly KD72401.The controller is limited at 300Amps max,since motor can pull 300Amps for 1 minute.
Charger:A chinese 48v/300watt.Needs about 8 hours if battery is completely dead.But i never let the battery to drop under 50% DOD.
Max speed: 75km/h
Acceleration:Not measured, but not bad despite the heavy batteries.
Range:About 20-25Km ,having in mind not to suck all the power.Dreaming of Lithium....
Sure a lot things to upgrade, but even like this it's a good commuter.
The only problem is the registration here in Greece.What's the law in such occasions in other countries???

Re: Honda Hornet to ZEM
I don't know if it's possible in Greece to have it approved as a conversion from gasoline to electric? It will be a L3 classification motorcycle in EU vehicle classification: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vehicle_category
If you need to get an new approval/licenceplate check with your local authorities if a single specific DIY approval is possible.

Re: Honda Hornet to ZEM
It looks interesting so far, but I thought when I read "Zero Electric Motorcycle" that you were building one of these:

Zeem zeem zeem goes zoom zoom zoom?
BTW, when you can eventually change to a Lithium type pack, you'll probably enjoy it even more. I definitely liked losing the lead in my stuff.

I think my lead battery pack will last until the first graphene pack shows up
I am already dreaming of a graphene supercapacitor power bank
