Build An Electric Motorbike - DIY E-Moto!

In this video I build a custom diy electric bike from scratch. This home built motorbike is equivalent to a 100-150cc gas powered bike with a top speed of 120 km/h @ 72V and a range of 100 km. The electric conversion kit that I used came with an 8kw continuous and 12 kWp QS hub motor and 150A Sabvaton controller, throttle and hydraulic brakes. It was super simple to hook up. It was all set up and ready to go when it left the factory - basically plug and play. I just needed a bike and decided to do something completely unique instead of a conversion. I powered everything with a custom 72V/4.2 kWh lifepo4 battery that I had built for me (sorry, no footage).
This electric bike build is only my second e-bike build and is far from perfect. There are a few things that need to be improved, as noted in the video. But it's still a lot of fun to ride and I learned a lot about how to build a motorcycle with this experience.
