Demo of electric motorcycle.
We took a Derbi GPR-50, removed the gas motor, and installed an electric drive system.
There is a web site that contains a little more information about what we are doing. The URL is http://www.maxdon.com.
We are considering designing and selling electric motorcycles commercially. However, if you are interested in building one yourself, you can find a wealth in information on the internet. At this point, I have borrowed ideas from no less than 10 different people for my design. Some of Maxdon Electric innovations that you won’t find in other bikes are:
1. The onboard microcontroller (described in the latest version — see the update video) provides torque control throttle feel and gives the rider battery status information
2. An RC-delay precharge circuit for the main contactor
3. A unique compact layout and mounting of the electric drive system

you probably want to know what the power output of the bike is: thats watts. At 75mph, thats going to be some outage! But what about range? Its a great concept though. great machine.
These might be a …
These might be a great reason for swapping out battries at a fueling station, it only take a few minutes to change them out and your back on your way. You would only get charged for the energy used to charge the battery, I want one now!
funny that you used …
funny that you used a derbi moped, it looks better then most electric bikes
amperage is …
amperage is basically a measurement of electrical flow-rate. like the gallons per minute of the electric world. while voltage is the preassure(like PSI or kpa) the converter he uses increases the output voltage in order to increase the output amperage and vise-versa to adjust the power to the electric motor
Mmmm, now how you …

Amps (A) and …
Amps (A) and milliamp-hours (mAh) are two completely different units. Amperes is the measure of the amount of charge being transferred per second, so it’s a rate, i.e. 1A = 1C/s, whereas milliamp-hours is the amount of charge which would flow in an hour if a current of 1mA were to be drawn, so 1mAh = 3.6C.
amperes are the …
amperes are the amount of electricity passed in a conductor for a certain period of time. expressed in “A” or ‘mAh”(you can see that on batteries).
what he means by swapping amps for volts is changing the resistance to increase of decrease the RPM of the engine. as in i= v/r where i – intensity of the current expressed in Amperes; v – voltage; r – resistance.
Can someone please …
Can someone please explain me what the amps are for and what they do?

What you’re most likely hearing is the chain noise. That’s a lot of the racket you hear on standard moto’s as well.
Next E-bike should have lithium batteries. Call me for that !
