I Converted a KLX250 Dirtbike to Electric..Twice!

In this comprehensive video, the creator documents his second attempt at converting a Kawasaki KLX250 SF dirt bike into an electric motorcycle, addressing previous limitations in his initial build. After an earlier conversion that suffered from poor battery performance and limited range, he meticulously redesigns the electric system using higher-quality components. The project involves carefully selecting and integrating a 24s 47 amp-hour Samsung EV module battery pack, designing custom mounting brackets, routing electrical systems, and creating a robust wiring infrastructure. The creator focuses on practical engineering solutions, including custom conduit protection for electrical wires, a 3D-printed sprocket guard, and a hand-fabricated chain tensioner. Throughout the build, he emphasizes functionality over perfect aesthetics, demonstrating significant improvements in battery capacity, component placement, and overall motorcycle design. The video provides an in-depth look at the challenges and problem-solving involved in DIY electric vehicle conversion, showcasing the creator’s technical skills and iterative approach to motorcycle modification.
