    Oops! I bought a Chinese electric motorcycle...

    My plan at this point is to upgrade controller and hub motor. I’m still trying to figure out batteries...I understand 90ah will fit, OEM spec. However, after grabbing measurements, maybe I can increase. Alternatively find something premade that fits...batteries are expensive...YIKES!

    It was twenty five hundred shipped. I would have opted for the 8000w instead, which was closer to forty five hundred. But, first large purchase importing from China, I was weary. Also, while it made it through customs, the manner it was shipped left me ineligible to obtain a copy of the customs...

    LAE I could only trace it back to China...which I knew already...but I looked up the model and traced it back to a Longzu Star...I think the Alibaba sellers just OEM Longzu Star. I registered with Vermont...waiting on a response. They don't require title for less than 300cc...

    There's a VIN on the steering head, but clearly not in a US database...I heard Vermont will title anything...has anyone had luck going this route?

    Help! I can't title this thing. Florida wants a Certificate of Origin and a Customs 7501. I have the Certificate of Origin, but it doesn't have a VIN on it. The customs form went to another company in the US who then shipped me the bike, so they won't give me a copy, and even when I called...

    Installing an EV charge port

    Is this something that would be connected directly to the 18650 battery pack? How would I know how/where to wire, the gauge of wires, and if it can accept 250 volts? This is a 72v 45ah battery...and it uses a 5amp C600 charger with a C13 looking port.

    Installing an EV charge port

    Sorry if there's a thread on this but I didn't know what to search, I tried "type 2", "socket", "charger", but didn't find it. I bought an electric motorcycle from China. Is there a way to install an EV charge port that would let me fill up at a charge station? What is required for this addition?

    Not sure, but did thread get hijacked?

    No voltage numbers...just a battery representation. It was at half when it shut down. Is it the BMS that is doing that? Can I program it to stop at 20-30% instead? I'm sure I'm going to have to crack it open to get more specifics.

    I meant to ask about that...it never slowed down. It just cut off...still showed half the battery available though! Started beeping like crazy when I would try to turn it on again.

    Ok so it FINALLY arrived yesterday! 11/17 after it was paid for 7/22 and shipped 8/23. The shipment actually arrived in the US on Oct 2nd. But the freight forwarder took this long to figure out how to get it from Maryland to Florida! However, the shipping terms were DDP so it was on SELLER to...

    Thanks for the estimates. Those should be ok initials for commuting. The seller estimated 55mph and 32 mile range. I recently found that "Inja" series of videos as well, all I can do now is hope I get what I paid for. Glad I got the seller to mail it DDP to my door, so they should incur all...

    Oops! I bought a Chinese electric motorcycle...

    ...before I found this forum. This forum is amazing, I didn't realize the wealth of information available already. So I made an impulse buy. Stuck at home for 16 weeks and I'm running out of projects. I've always wanted a motorcycle, so I thought an electric would be a great project. I've got...
