The Mounting Begins!

The Mounting Begins

Since I finally reached the milestone and painted the frame and all I could start mounting everything.

Started off by mounting the swingarm and shocks.



I then moved onto the front end and mounted all the painted parts. I also added the mirrors, kill switch, light, horn and indicator switches and the brakes and the throttle.





The awesome electronic speedo and cycle analyst.



I need to fabricate another mount for the rear brake mount because it was a sh**ty.
I put it all together and it looks pretty awesome.







I'm going to be ordering some new steering bearings and a road tyre and tube, maybe a new front rim.

Next things to do is mount all of this gear:



There is; an onboard charger, bms system, all the cabling, connectors, 12v system, dc/dc converter, rfid ignition module, alarm system, controller, contactor, fuse, lights etc and thats about it. Plus making some more mounts for the batteries, to make sure they are firm and dont fall out.

Battery mounts and Paint.

Battery mounts and Paint

I welded the battery mounts and welded them to the frame. Pretty good I say. Well, OK.




I welded the mount for the two bottom ones first, then the two single top ones.



Made sure they were square.



Just making sure they fit! :P





I then painted the whole frame with a rust converter primer, then with proper sandable primer.





Then I spray painted it Black, 2 layers of black.




PS. If your wondering about the steel. It is Galvanised, that's why it has a funny texture and is a bit thicker. That was the best I could find. Most suitable. Anyway I think it's turned out good.

Batteries arrived.

Batteries Arrived

About a month ago now, they arrived, they finally arrived. With a S*** load of money I had to pay to customs. YEY for sure :(

Well packaged. Been opened by customs though.


Anyways they are really nice, all very balanced and of very good quality.
The batteries are great, no scratches or damage at all.

attaching the BMS modules, daisy chain.


Balancing and testing all the settings.

BMS is VERY good, very simple yet very complex. Includes individual cell voltages etc on a screen. It also has alarms available and is connected to the charger, so nothing can be over charged etc. BMS also controls charger output depending on cell voltages. Balances it very well and evenly too.



What you get; bms stuff.

Another few updates coming.
