GSX-R e899 K2 2016
Since February 2016 I am thinking about the new design of my next bicycle and found now my new design, going with KKK frame.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The new electrical motor will be an QS Motors 273 80H, 14/34kW, 144V version and up to 700A phase current and therefore good for around 400Nm. Already manufactured in August 2016
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After 200 day of waiting for the customized frame with no results I decided to go with a gear defect Suzuki GSX-R 1000 K2.
In fact that the overall weight will be much higher than building everything into a bicycle frame and will have a negative influence but the breaking system of a motorcycle is much better than bicycle brakes!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Let´s start .... :
The base!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
September 2016, Friday evening, my brother and myself need around 2,5 hours to strip the motorcycle by throwing out all equipment I do not need anymore.
The weight will go down from 191 kg (421 lbs) to 74 kg (163 lbs).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Saturday morning we install the fairing.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The fork suspension shall be reduced in length and also the front wheel will lost one brake disc.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lamp cover will be glued in
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lowering from 120mm to75mm suspension (fork) therefore I will have 55mm distance to ground.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Special swing arm extension. (I like drag sytle motorcycles) Regarding to the speciale axle of hubmotor (50mm diameter) I designed myself the new swing arm to drive the GSX-R from series with up to 300mm over wheel base (in 100mm steps).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My new controller (Kelly Controls: KHB14601, 144 V DC nominal voltage, 600 phase amps.
