I’ve had mobility issues over the past several years following back surgery and miss going on those long walks with the dogs (and my wife). So I picked up a beater Chinese 125cc ATV brought it back to life and now I cruise along side the pack every night. It’s noisy and am getting lots of questionable looks as we trek through the various paths and fields so I’m starting my electric conversion. All parts are on order and I’ll post pictures and progress over the coming month(s).
2000w BLDC motor and controller (off shore manufacturer)
Dual EGO 56V 7.5Ah batteries (switchable banks: 1 for the drive and 1 for accessories and can be electrically switched)
11:60 sprocket configuration
Power monitor on drive battery
Am not going to cannibalize the existing ATV other than pull the motor and sort out the various mounting challenges of motor, controller and supporting components. I’ll leave the wiring harness in place and connect the accessory power directly to the ATV battery wires (with the ICE out that should just leave the passive accessories : lights, horn).
