My fast Electra

[Scootdan]

I just ‘finished’ this new Electra fat bike conversion and am now having some serious fun on this rocket. Trying to make this animal as street legal and safe as possible while still scary fast. It has gotten some great reactions on the street so far with its big crazy light and even crazier acceleration. 72v 35Ah battery, two 72v 2000w hub motors, a fardriver 72260, and a fardriver 72300 controllers, 240mm motorcycle disc brakes and hydraulics. Hope you enjoy it. 🏍

Curious about its weight. Have you done any speed tests?

I didn't know those light bars worked well as headlights.

The headlight certainly raises questions like if on a dark rd at night would you be a flame to a truck sized moth dazzled by the glare??
I cant fault the aesthetic tho, even tho i think your asking a lot from the tyres with no other suspension.
Perhaps im showing my age but i hope you clobber up fully if pushing the speed..
Also hungry for metrics..

I have not weighed it but my guess is a little under 200lbs. I have not done any official speed testing but it is insanely fast. I am just guessing but I would estimate 0 to 40 mph takes under four seconds. Fastest I took it on gps was 45 mph but today I was probably around 50 a few times. That is all I want unless I am fully suited up and have a long smooth road. I think it might top out around 60 mph but probably not with me driving! The headlight works really well and I absolutely love it. Wouldn’t you know I just saw almost the exact same setup on a brand new motorcycle! He copied me fast! I will add some day time pics below that kind of show the light pattern and how effective it is. You guys should try it. I will add a stripped down picture of the bike to help gauge the weight. Cheers

I may have to run full blinking hazard lights along with the crazy headlight to avoid such a terrifying scenario should I find myself on said dark road at night friend! here are a few daylight pictures you can kind of get the idea of how well the light works. I need to get some real nighttime pictures or video so you can see how bright all the lights are. I just adjusted my tire pressure for the first time today and what a difference that makes! This bike is definitely pushing the limits for power without suspension but those big fat tires are awesome and the ride is so pure. Hopefully I can post some good videos of it soon and you guys can enjoy some metrics real time on video at least. Most asked question is range and my guess would be 35 to 40 miles max range in low speed, 25 to 35 miles in middle speed, and 15 to 25 miles in top speed riding hard. I may never know the top speed of this beast but I am pretty confident it could go 60+ with my 200 lbs on it. It definitely could be improved in so many ways, but man do I love this bike right now. ️

Ah That front beam is way more focused than i imagined As to improvements? I like to think Less is often More,
