In this video I show how I built a torquey electric motorcycle from scratch. Check out my blog for all the details on what parts and materials I used and how I put it all together: Get the plans here: I built this bike for less than HALF the price of an equally sized ZERO S (~$5000 Canadian). This aggressive looking streetfighter uses the same 24 kW (32 hp) drivetrain as the previous Cyber Trike project. Though equivalent to most 300cc street bikes in overall power, the QS direct drive motor produces 250 ft-lb of instant torque, 150 km/h top speed at 120V, and the entire bike only weighs 300 lbs. Unlike an internal combustion engine, electric powertrains don't require multispeed transmissions because the motor will produce more than enough torque at low rpm and maintain it over a much wider range. I will be doing some 0-60 runs in the next video, but I can't promise
