1991 Kawasaki ZX-11 "C" *ELECTRIC NINJA* (as in EV) "Project" - $4495 (berkeley)

Yes, you read that correctly - its a an electric conversion performed on a very
badass Kawasaki ZX-11 C. Still registered as originally configured motorcycle,
clean title, 35000 miles. 200+ miles on electric only so far. **

The gas motor and parts have been replaced with a

• Briggs & Stratton E-TEK (15 hp peak electric (DC, hi torque), rated 48V ),
• 5 AGM 12 volt 55Mah batteries (60 Volts (yes, we are overvolting!) )
• 5 Soneil 1212SSR fast chargers, optionally removable.
• Alltrax Controller, 72 Volt 300 Amp Programmable controller
• Drivechain is still #50 size (but all new)
• 71 tooth in the rear and 10 up front
• Have a 12 I've never installed)
• Custom 1/4 plate steel motor bolted to the original motormounts
• Huge LED lights (read $$) all around w/new flasher relay and a HID up front
• Tank has been chopped for weight and access to the plug at the top
• Acceleration to 30 mph is very quick, BUT speed tops out around 45 with current gearing
• Range is at least 15 miles (up hills), 20-30 on the flats with lots of spirited stop and go
• Weight is around 450 lbs, 100 lbs LESS than stock
• Fairings are in good shape, bike is a great 20 footer
• All manuals and receipts for bike and parts included
• Spare ZX-11 parts I've taken off (no motor, tranny or ICE parts anymore)
• Arai Helmet, new gloves and protective gear available for extra pesos
• DOES not include custom fuel gauge/PDA software (Contact me if you are interested in more dev work on that portion of the project)
• Camera mount is on the way for super cool videos of the bike in action
• Looking for something near the $4500 in parts I added up ;) ***
• M1 and cash to ride. I will arrange a showing/showings depending on response.

If you are still reading and interested, way to much information is here in my build and test blog and link to YouTube: http://www.tronbikes.com


REASONS for selling:

• I am ready to build an electric car, I need the space (E30 or E36 BMW trades considered!!)
• I don't dare make or take this thing any faster, it needs a real rider for further development
• Does not fit my lifestyle - too close to work w/plenty of parking, I need to haul kids in the rain (may we get some)

So, stick it to the oil princes of your choice (George W & Co or Osama Bin & Co), and look good doing it. Buy this bike or get your friends to.

** I will only sell to someone who demonstrates they know what they are getting into

*** Parting out will be a sorry and last resort, this thing needs to be ridden

**** DON'T hesitate to build your own, its a terrific project
