Some parts already arrived !
Like all my esk8 this build will be all black, I love the stealth of everything black with some chrome here and there

All the parts! I too am building my ebike from scratch!
@Nate I don’t have the time to do it today. But I’ll take 10 mins tomorrow to write this down. All the parts I have choosed. But can you tell me what you plan to do ? I can definitely help regarding what parts you should use for your specific config. Share a few pics if you don’t mind !
It’s like Christmas everyday, got the new mirrors today !
Recieved the new headlight ! It looks so sleek and it’s very powerful , I tested it last night my garden was like daytime !
I have messed around as well with my other electric moped , the first prototype , trained myself on the set up for the blinkers so I do everything quickly and as sleek as possible on the next one
I have added a rear rack with removable battery so it’s easier to carry the battery the current design was a wooden box LOL
Next week end I will start the welding work : I will weld the two 22 mm steel tubes , during the week I’ll do a precise laser cut of the side panels , then weld them on the frame ! Once all the welding is done and the metal finitions made I will take all the parts to a blast sanding place and have everything epoxy painted by professional I wan’t perfect paint.
When it comes back I have to do the fiber glass work to fill all the gaps and apply the veneer on the panels
Then it will be the funniest part, install all the electronics ! Hope to have finished the project by early November !
Wow what a coincidence. I’ve just think about converting my M11 on electric today and I’ve directly find your page. Have you had good results?
No results yet because I started recently, but the results should be there ! I’ll update the thread with further advancement
Project is going strong ! Done all the welding today, next I have to cut all the steel panel, will be a lot of work !
I am so impatient to finish this !
UPDATE :
Almost finished all the metal work ! It was a long work and I had to basically learn everything while doing it. To say the least I am very satisfied with the outcome.
The floor , the roof and both side panels !
I am happy because the outcome is exactly what I wanted, I still have a lot of finishing work to do but it won’t be difficult. I have now recieved all the parts I need except a few little cosmetic things
The reservoir will be the house of my 80A sabvoton controller.
And here is the drivetrain , 3000w 12kv motor ( according to my maths so it’s worth what it’s worth ) I should have according to my calculations the motor has a KV of 12 with a max RPM at 72 V of 864. for 50 V I calculated an RPM of 605
I don’t know if I can base myself on this. Any help to have the realistic speed I’ll get in the end , depending on the voltage. So I finally know if I will go 20S or 14S !
I am.not good at all for welding… But I managed to do it anyway ! It’s not very clean I I don’t know how to hide the welds maybe some mastic
Shock absorber in !
Haven’t updated this thread over the several last months but it’s for a good reason I was busy AF on many projects The project is OVEEEEEEER !
I’m finishing the rebuild of an original M11 ans was looking for a electric project to do with all my spare parts… Man you’ve just revived it! Amazing job! Congrats!
