A few years back I converted my Honda NSR150 motorbike to electric. I hardly ever ride it and its license renewal is coming up, so I think it’s time to either sell or decommission it. It’s probably worth more sold as parts, but I’d rather see it go complete to someone who might enjoy it, so thought I’d see if anyone is interested. Asking $2900 complete - approx half the cost of the EV parts, with the motorbike itself thrown in for free.

Gets between 50-70km range depending on how and where you ride.
The good:
It’s very reliable, fun to ride, and accelerates more like a 250cc. It’s extremely cheap to run (about 1 cent per km and near zero maintenance).
The less good:
The drive train is noisier than one would expect for an electric bike, probably due to the motor being hard-mounted to the frame. (OTOH, it’s arguably safer if your motorbike isn’t too quiet.) And I wouldn’t call it freeway capable; 100km/h works the little battery too hard, and you wouldn’t get much range. But 80km/h is fine.
Note also that it has not been re-registered as an electric bike, still on the original petrol license, so it would be up to the new owner if they want to pursue this.
Get in touch if you’re interested, or have any questions. Test rides welcome.
