Nothing reported going on two years.Makes me wonder what happened to the feller on here that was working on making an ST an 'electric'.
It is nice. Throw some soft luggage on it and "it's just perfect" for running around town errands. Clean design with great pipes though I would have liked to have seen it done to a nicer looking motor. Maybe the mufflers could be hollowed out and have speakers installed for some "vroom vroooom". Belt drive would have been nice. Call it the KW250e.I accept it don't go fast. I accept it don't go far. But nice though.
Not only is Mazda supposedly reincarnating the rotary for a Hybrid, but there is also a much improved one out there ...This reminds me of a story. Back in 1980 I had a Suzuki RE5 rotary engine motorcycle.
I remember advising him to not try using the alternator drive.Makes me wonder what happened to the feller on here that was working on making an ST an 'electric'.
Your story reminds me of this story:This reminds me of a story.
Yes. I remember being advised that my '72 CL450 was too big for a first bike.Remember when that was a average sized bike
that was never going to happen. To do it the way he thought, using the st trans and clutch system, would take a lot of complicated fabrcation.Makes me wonder what happened to the feller on here that was working on making an ST an 'electric'.
I thought that a ST1100 would have made a better 'starting' place given how the transmission is one piece and separates pretty easily.that was never going to happen. To do it the way he thought, using the st trans and clutch system, would take a lot of complicated fabrcation.
The clutch, clutch gears in front, trans gears in back are bathe in engine oil. I can't see how to put an electric motor between them and still lubricate that stuff. Besides I think electric bikes doesn't need a transmission or clutch, to the best of my limited knowledge.I thought that a ST1100 would have made a better 'starting' place given how the transmission is one piece and separates pretty easily.
