This book should have been titled “Electric Components and their History”. Over 300 pages and most is about the components and their inner workings. Like what is inside a battery. Most of the batteries and motors are not even what you would use for a Motorcycle. The last chapter titled “The Build” is just a few more pictures from the first chapter. If you want to know about electric components this is the book for you. If you want to build an Electric Motorcycle forget it this is anything but that book. Very disappointing I expected to build a motorcycle not study history, most of which was outdated. Even reporting on the EV1 being distroyed, how long ago was that? This is a reprint not an update.
This book is a 2009 edition,it has exactly the same EV info,as a 20 year old book I already own,Except not as good.
Full of history,good and bad points,A huge section on saving the planet,Also huge section on each part,ie history,how,and why it works,also make your own descission what to buy ?.
Promises of a fast or long range or all round bike,Answer work it out your self ?.The build section,or what I did as a lad,small blurry,black and white pictures,less than 10 pages,of an 800lbs bike,that does’nt go very far or mildly fast, Disappointed,I expected the latest info,and a large part of the book to be the build,of a resent project,Not some old gezzers memoirs, I really do not care that sir Issac,got hit on the head,by an apple,I do not need to no the inner workings,history of each and every part,I want a recent build,with recent parts,for an all round bike,ie 65 mph longest range I can get,with the lightest bike possible.
do what you feel now…electric feel now…
lol that nicka's fired. blue motorcycle is default like a Coke. or French Fries lol
Please follow MIKE's advice carefully with one other word of advice Stay away from the Gas Outlet Too. Make sure the child can NOT climb to the heater or pull it down on himself in any manner.
There are ways to hide the electrical cords use them even if he is older so they are not accidently pulled.
Nada…
I'd go with the future plug-in Ford Escape because it is different than any other plug-in that is coming. You get quality and style that is completely different from a Volt or whatever Dodge is rumored to have created.
so doesnt invite us to hoop but he gotta build castles and all kinda other shit
Then Best bike in my opion would be the Kawasaki Ninja 650R or the Kawasaki Versys because i don't know if you know but kawasaki is one of the best brands, and there both in your price range, and learning a 5-6 speed isn't that hard but it takes a good amount of practice.
