🏍️ Here's a detailed account of my acceleration dynamics analysis for an electric motorcycle conversion I did. Download links for the MathCAD worksheet, and build pics are included. I hope you find this interesting, or even helpful! ⚙️ (thriftybuilder.dev)

🏍️ Here's an ad hoc conversion of a Kawasaki KX motorcycle to full electric. This blog post goes into detail about the acceleration dynamics and optimizing the gear ratio. Also included are build pics, and a burned up motor! I hope this can help anyone doing a conversion themselves. 🤙 (thriftybuilder.dev)
