DIY Build Test Ride - Riding New Homemade Electric Motorcycle

[@kinza999]

It's a great project we'll done. As a motorcycle mechanic for over 40 yrs I'd like to point out a couple of things. The shock is losing around 30% of it travel when you sit on it. It should have sag but nowhere near that amount ( it's not a mtb) Whoever said the rake is to steep is right. It might be worth getting a frame designer it to take a look at it. Just my opinion Like I said before well done that took a lot of hard work to get it where it is.

[@ladiandmargaret]

Thanks. What’s the solution for the rear shock? I’m not sure I understand. Is it supposed to be stiffer or the geometry is wrong?

[@kinza999]

@ladiandmargaret to me it looks like the linkage is wrong but very hard to say how to fix it from just seeing a video of it. The ratio (lengths) on the linkage makes a huge difference. Look at Honda and Yamaha MX bikes for reference.

[@ladiandmargaret]

But what is it supposed to do vs what it does now?

[@kinza999]

@ladiandmargaret from the video it looks like it moves 30 + percentage when you sit on it. So if it has 180mm travel you're loosing 60mm. It also looks like it let's the swing arm travel at the same rate and doesn't ramp up. But this is all from watching, if there's a M/C frame place or suspension place near you it might be worth them looking at it. I could be totally wrong, it's just something doesn't look right

[@ladiandmargaret]

Are we talking about the front suspension? We already have shock with stronger springs. We are not aiming for this bike to be MX.

[@editaedita8346]

Impressive 👏👏👏👏 the only thing that is missing is Margaret. I'm missing videos that showing your building projects.

[@nhodorek]

i love it, i think it's mostly perfect. id like to add my suggestions to the subframe assembly, specifically. 1- while still retaining your 18/21 wheels, have a Small Medium and Large subframe option. keeps the seat in the same forward to back position, just adjusts the up and down geometry by about an inch each. 34, 35, and 36 inches would be about right. use the same four mounting bolts for all for all three subframes. 2- extend the subframe out a bit farther, to have the ability for a small luggage rack behind the rider. if the bike is positioned as a commuter, you need to have the option to carry more than the storage compartment inside the subframe will offer. wearing a backpack on a bike sucks. this will also offer a bit better mud and rain protection when getting slung off the back wheel onto your back. 3- the storage box inside the subframe could have panels that attach to the outside edge of the tubing, vs inside, so you can take advantage of that extra space? 4- i would consider a slightly longer/wider/thicker seat for all day comfort. and possibly a bit bigger rear taillight for better visibility to cars behind you. experience: 2013 Honda CRF250L owned since new, 80,000 km ridden 70% dirt and mountain roads, street, trail, single track, enduro, mini adventure riding, moto camping, multi day multi week multi country rides

[@Dlogreen]

I thought similarly, but using the exact same subframe but having multiple holes to mount so you can move the seat up down forward and backwards to a certain degree.

[@gregdyer1380]

WOW!! Great to see how it's developing! Motocross, Super Moto and Enduro riders will all say an elongated seat, to be able to shift your weight further back sometimes, and still have full contact with the bike is a GOOD thing.

[@marpheus1]

Not sure if the shock can handle it, but a tandem seat would be nice (it could be sold as an option or an add-on). Another option would be a seat+rack option or a rack add-on). Also, for adjustability, you could add 2-4 extra mounting holes to all 4 mounting points of the seat (maybe with silicon plugs to use in the holes not in use)

[@ShaunHensley]

As you move the subframe lower down the frame, you’ll increase the reach to the bars. They just need to offer subframes with different bends for different sized riders

[@DGroenenberg]

It's so awesome of you to make your employee shine like you made him shine.. I would love to work for you :)

[@red88ization]

also a canvas carry bag for the deadspace between the seat supports would be great as an option

[@edtelis264]

We needed a quick hello from Margaret 😭😭 We missed you guys. Great bike 👌👏🏼👏🏼

[@collinsphiri6744]

Awesome. If only I could financially support this project, even pre-order. I'd use this great commuter

[@davedonovan2681]

"it's how I would express torque, in sound." - love that

[@knoxieman]

I love it, my only concern would be my legs and in particular my knees around those yellow bars especially in an accident or on a really bumpy trail, this could probably be addressed with padding etc so not really a big problem, great work, goes like a rocket!

[@ladiandmargaret]

Knees are bellow the bars.

[@melissahoffman4687]

The storm you were facing at 10:06 had a wall cloud from a super cell storm called the Mesocyclone. A low hanging cloud in the storm that can cause rotation and tornadoes. Cold, dry air colliding with warm moist air creates instability causing wall clouds. In mountainous locations these results are less likely. With no mountains, in the plains the chances are higher for more wall clouds, severe storms. Gorgeous storms.

[@garthgoldwater5256]

This bike looks amazing! Make the charger replaceable please! and I think more mounting points in general would be a good idea-not just for the seat, but for other customizations: you mentioned this frame having lots of space to work with (per your example of a hard case). If you include some regular mounting points with a standard bolt size you could get a lot of inspiration from community additions from your first batch of customers building their own cases, gps mounts, lock mounts, etc

[@hjacobson22]

You should move the controller towards the steering assembly. I would go as close as you can. Otherwise the wheel will kick rocks at it and damage those beautiful black fins. If you have it near the steering assembly, and still on the bottom of the battery housing, you'll still get a pretty direct air flow for cooling but the wheel guard will protect it from any rocks the wheel kicks up.

[@ladiandmargaret]

We have the charger in the upper position. There are other more important benefits in having the controller there

[@marcbrasse747]

It’s great to see you have returned to the subject with such enthusiasm, Ladi. You are a great designer. 👍👍👍

[@skwigle3]

Looks really cool! Considering you'd like it to be comfortable for tall people, it would be nice to have an adjustable seat. The frame for the seat looks simple enough, that it might have a "slide-able" extensions, to move the seat a little further, which can be adjusted on the go, depending on who's driving or what terrain they drive in.

[@prochorius]

Very well done and thank u for the amazing content !✨️🧡👍 cheers and safe travels !

[@Bugs1953]

Bring back Margaret please. Love to see you both.

[@kasennation2970]

[@stefanentzeroth9027]

The seat bracket can let you do so many custom options. A lower seat and some further reaching back motorcycle handlebars. Give a bit more of a bobber seating style. Probably want some sort of fender flares, also those wheels look a bit small compared to the bike. Overall this bike is so cool! Great videos :)

[@-MacCat-]

Your bike is impressive but it is nothing compared to the job you have done with mentoring Pavel. Job very well done on both counts. Thanks for the share.

[@DBRGB]

Just a thought: Where the rear tire support attaches to the center of the bike; At that point you could attach the rear/bottom seat attachment point, which would provide a stronger seat support and less stress on the battery bank housing. Again just a thought as esthetically it may not be as pleasing to the eye as your current design. Still, it would strengthen your design.

[@ladiandmargaret]

Thanks. It does not need more strength so better design is preferred😀

[@MasterSatate]

I have just a couple of questions that I didn't see answered yet: Will there be any DIY plans available for those of us who want to build one ourselves but customized for our tastes/preferences? Does the onboard charger have the smarts to connect to AC EV chargers (reading max current) (multi voltage 120, 208, 240)? What is the suspension travel amount for the rear tire? At what speed is the stated range of 75 miles taken? What about at 65 mph? Loving the project 👍

[@ShaunHensley]

Just manufacture different subframes with different seat heights and size them like one would with a bicycle purchase. The mounting points for the subframe would remain the same and you won’t sacrifice suspension travel or the advantage of larger diameter wheels. Cheap easy fix

[@GingerPiston]

Was going to say exactly the same thing, as it seems like the simplest and easiest option for shorter riders. There’s plenty of negative space below the current seat, so can’t see a reason not to go down the route.

[@ladiandmargaret]

Motorcycles sell with one seat height, I don’t think we’ll go this route. All the accessories we plan won’t fit and we would create massive variety of sizes, shapes and options.

[@ShaunHensley]

@@ladiandmargaret At least my advice cost you nothing 😂

[@GingerPiston]

@@ladiandmargaret well some do sell with thinner seats, but most don’t simply because the packaging doesn’t allow for it as there simply isn’t room for a lower position. Also most bikes aren’t built so that even a 6’2" person would struggle to flatfoot it like yours. You have acres of empty space underneath your seat frame, so you could make a lower seat frame as a cost option. Weird you can’t see that honestly. If these ever take off in significant volume, guarantee an aftermarket manufacturer would be churning out lower seat frames.

[@nhodorek]

my thoughts exactly. just have a Small Medium and Large subframe option. keeps the seat in the same forward to back position, just adjusts the up and down by about an inch each id imagine. 34, 35, and 36 inches would be about right. use the same four mounting all for all three subframes

[@zachmcconnell72]

Planning a seat configuration for 2? You guys are amazing creators across the board! Cant wait to see more on the 2nd story of the shop!!!

[@chrisshorter3749]

Impressive! I keep seeing a rear fender that mounts hinged on swing arm end caps acting as chain guard also. Opposite end floating under seat. Then could be easily lifted up and back for maintenance . Pivoting on spring loaded hinges...That's HAVOC!!!! Also couldn't you install solar strip on top of battery housing that charges a decent size capacitor , that in return keeps battery pack charged longer if ran in a series....Solar,Cap,Batt,Motor. Proper environmental conditions may be self charged. Game changer. I have designed. Contact me if interested.

[@hbpCV]

Really beautiful man, Congrats. Keep the good work

[@cinemabunny]

I don't get why you would change the tires and rear shock. You have a completely open downtube. Either put multiple mount points along the downtube so the seat can be mounted higher/lower or make the yellow seat subframe a hinged parallelogram that can be bolted at any angle.

[@JP-qq2kn]

Looks awesome! But how much suspension travel is there in the rear? Doesn't look like much at all. Could the top of the shock mount be extended to fit a longer shock? The built-in charger is a must. I find it crazy that all ebikes don't come with it. It could probably prevent a lot of fires by ensuring the proper charger is being used.

[@TheOfficialReapsZ]

You need to listen to the comments, alot of good feedback. the bike looks cool!

[@rubensegura9988]

Just add additional mounting holes for the seat frame for shorter riders

[@filipjurecka7736]

I’m truly amazed how good international projects can be based in the Czech republic ❤ I actually live like 25km from you guyz! Awesome! Wish you all the best

[@brianmac001]

Been missing your videos! Glad to see you guys back on. The bikes look fantastic fun but for UK public road riding, they'd need to be registered & the rider needs a motorbike licence. Would be great fun on private land.

[@ladiandmargaret]

It’s very easy to legalize in the UK and many of our customers have already done that.

[@0141star]

It can be done single vheicle approval i looked into doing it with lmx 12 bolt converter and adding brake lights and indicators

[@philipmyatt967]

That's really interesting. Will have to have a look at this. As I am interested in one👍🏻

[@Zi9makin9]

Other people have probably mentioned it before, but the angle of the fork looks a little too steep, slack out the angle a lil bit (just copy the angle of a similar sized and powered motocross) and its gonna handle way better in tough terrain. Sick build tho!!

[@morgananderson9647]

Thanks for all the vids you've made. Have to say, currently, the channel feels like it's all about selling bikes rather than more balanced combination of vanlife, home creation videos. I'd like to see what is happening in the building projects. You've clearly started to add the 2nd floor to the warehouse home... 4 of the last 5 videos are about selling the cyberbikes.

[@ladiandmargaret]

We currently don’t have anything else to make videos about. Past 6 months we’ve been developing havoc and we are very proud of it. The building is under construction but it takes months to collect enough content worth one video.

[@hbpCV]

The magnetic door was a great ideia

[@smeesmirgol8377]

WELL DONE! I'm recommending adjustable height or alternative parts to alter the height and adjustable seat length. Can you please create a cruising bike with high range (at least 200 km), at least 150 km/h max speed with comfortable design. I would love to see something like that, especially with some options for bags for travel.

[@dailyrider2975]

I absolutely love the minimal look and design of this motorcycle. But being heavier tall guy I'd prefer more vertical heavier rear support for seat. Seat could be lower and use blocks to raise seat or tall foam seat. maybe make it even longer wheelbase. OH and if at all possible solid mag wheels, no spokes. Probably not possible. Would radically change the looks, which is criminal. But I'm all about practical over looks. Your an amazing engineer!

[@thrawn0r]

ABS breaking would be helpful with this kind of speed. Amazing to see how Pawel has developed. That's a great success story!

[@Skiridr22]

Love the stance of the bike and the width of the handlebar not to mention the upright seating position. It looks intimidating at first sight but watching you ride it impresses me.

[@syuaibnazri]

Nice built! 1 thing I would suggest is to reposition the rear brake lever from left hand to right foot to get closer experience of riding full size motorcycle. Looking forward to see the final product.

[@sayodunabdulazeez3061]

Absolutely amazing sir, I'd like to learn from you. I'd be glad if you consider adding fenders to it to shield tires' dirts. Love from Nigeria🇳🇬

[@theirur]

Great Job! looks like a blast to ride. I agree with the previous post about the rake of the front forks and I would also set the foot pegs further back so they are not so far forward. The seat also looks plain and you referred to this as a cafe racer but it lacks the styling of a cafe racer. I would improve the seat and maybe create a fake tank so you can store goods and add to the look. I would love to own one.

[@ladiandmargaret]

It’s a coffee racer daily use bike, not stylistically. We are planning on making the seat storage unit. Once we finalize the design.

[@CHILLBOY-hr8zr]

you could have the seat frame pivot on the top two mounting point and mechanically lock onto the bottom ones so its easy to flip up. actually could have it pivot and come completely off, so you could swap it without any tools. just a thought

[@keithproctor5559]

What about drilling 4 more holes and reposition your yellow seat frame down. It would be the simplest in my humble opinion. You could add a gel seat and add a little height to it and shape, then add more seat frame positions.

[@ladiandmargaret]

We have no issue with the seat. What exactly are you proposing?

[@marpheus1]

​@@ladiandmargaret they are referring to height adjustability. I commented something similar.

[@ladiandmargaret]

I see

[@solarlifeguy]

Love the bike. In the past I bought your plans and built your first bike. My battery went bad though so I have not ridden in in a couple seasons. To much 0-70mph pulls!(200amp controller with 3.5t motor) Anyway I agree the seat needs more adjustability. I would not want the tire size to besmaller and sacrifice top speed. Maybe play with the shock length as you said. Also I'd make different seat frame options or make it adjustable somehow. I'm 5.5 ft tall with a short inseam unfortunately. Did some measurements and I'd need about 800ish MM tall seat height or less. Looking to upgrade. I appreciate the time you have spent on the prototype. I'm looking to upgrade if it I can actually fit on the bike. All the best to you and Margaret!

[@abdelkarimlahlou2561]

Hello, I really like your prototype! The idea of the subframe is brilliant! However, is it intended for enduro or trail? When standing on the bike or making tight turns, wouldn’t the width of the subframe be an issue? A narrower design is needed to handle off-road riding effectively.

[@MrLBDude]

Great product. Seriously. Some small ideas for you. For seat adjustability: It seems that the seat is connected to the chassis by four bolt points. Couldn't you create some threaded holes at lower heights? If there is a structural limit for the attachment points, then an optional seat frame which slopes to a lower point. Since this is a bike for the modern age and beyond, it should have built in discreet cameras. Full 360 degrees and maybe even more, like helmet/rider POV. This will enhance insurance liability as well as theft control, so build in streaming to a cloud server or a social media platform. This and a LoJack will discourage theft. You're awesome, keep up the great work!

Why not fill the empty space in the middle with cargo storage for hunting or camping trips or even more battery power for extended range

Why is the seat height taller than EVERY large Adventure Touring motorcycle, including BMW R1250GS Adventure, KTM 1290 SAR, Triumph Tiger Rally, and Ducati Multistrada V4S? That's an insane decision. Why not build the seat mounts into conduit tubing, with lock-off for a huge infinitely variable range of adjustment, providing a unique selling point over an actual motorcycle? If you don't recognize (as per all the similar comments) that it is a problem, then IMHO you're in the Sales Prevention business.

It is a cool design, and I applaud what you are doing, I'm a big EV fan (Rivian R1T, Tesla M3P). But from a business sense perspective, I suggest you rethink the height, as it seriously alienates/precludes anybody less than 6ft tall from riding it.

Hi. I'm from Russia. As for the installation of the more powerful QS138 engine, it is very low for enduro forest roads, and we also need a shield under the engine to protect the engine - and I will forgive you to fix this in the second series of releases by raising the engine installation higher.

I worry about how that 3d printed charge door will hold up over time. Sun and weather isnt friendly to PLA. I also hope for some actual seat height adjustablilty, rather than having to rely on smaller wheels and cutting the already very loaded suspension to get the bike a little lower. EDIT: also does this have any regenerative or engine braking? if so, how does that feel through a chain drive system? is there a suddent jerk where the tension of the chain has to change direction?

Don’t worry, we don’t use PLA. Regen works well, no jerks at all.

Love the bike, I just do not think it has enough rear shock for the type of riding I do.

Havoc? Will your next build be Kayotic (from Chaos).

[@edwardthomas7022]

Reminds me of Muffy's 6 kittens born in the workshop, '86. Three were klumsy polydactyls. Named the tabbies Kayos & Havoc, the B&W Panda(monium). Kept Kayos who lived 18 years.

The front part of the seat needs to be slimmer to allow”sitting on the “tank” and performing aggressive cornering off-road. The seat may need to continue up to the handlebars more.

[@lorenlgray]

For off-road riding you need to be able to move all the way forward and far back. Maybe have an optional off-road seat?

[@tonn333]

YES

I think a flexible rollup solar panel is called for to help with range anxiety.

[@ladiandmargaret]

I don’t think so unless you have multiple days to spare

[@vlottech]

cool project. keep in mind that alot of countries these need to be registered to be ridable. double mirrors and turn/brake lights are often a requirement for that

[@ladiandmargaret]

Yes

Dope bike!! How much will this one cost

[@theParticleGod]

needs another set of lugs on the forks to adjust the mudguard to be further from the front wheel like an offroad bike, in case people want throw knobblies on and go riding in the mud.

[@ladiandmargaret]

It’s not a suitable solution for this type of bike. We made the mudguard around the wheel instead.

[@sharpsbattle]

Adjustable geometry and seat height would have great advantages. Or at least custom order.

[@jasonzha-m7v]

good job

Hi there, really nice content and great engineering! You thougt about building a street legal stremliner? Seems like noone dares to approache the concept of an "Streamlining" bike (which factualy has an amzing potencial). A disguised bike has so many benefits, comparing to an naked one: High end efficiency and therefore rediculous high ranges, with comparatively small batteries, much less wear, on almost every component of the bike and so on. I have dreamed for years, about building a bike, which radical streamlined design, allows it, to glide trhough the wind, like a bullet, but unfortunatly i dont have the specific knowlidge, or the resorces for such an project. Imagine how benificial such a bike could be vor so many people! I have so many ideas, but like i saied, i dont have the ressources and the advanced knowlidge, but if you should concider ralizing such an project, i would love to present u my ideas, if u would be interested. I would buy such an bike immediately!!!
