Ok Its not done but here it is after its conversion

I didn't do the paint job yet but I got the headlight in the mail so I thought I would show it. Well it runs very well spark plug is tan and idles at 1500 with no miss. I think its tuned in well ,its a lot faster than I thought it would be .I had it to 60 a few times already .I can't wait to change rear sprocket to 44t so it will have higher top speed. I think it will stretch the gears out a bit which I think is perfect because I find I had to shift way to fast. So here ya go .... lemme know what you think!

The red bike is my electric dirtbike it does 20 I put higher amperage batteries and it pushes better and lasts about an hour and twenty mins. I might put a bigger motor and it will go faster but honestly its perfect.

That Lifan looks pretty good to me! I think they made decent bikes too, from what I know. I see they are reentering the US market now, with the interesting looking Pony 100. Wish they had a dual sport available, and I heard good things about their old 250cc v-twin cruiser too.

I like it! It looks good murdered out.

Do you still plan to install your XR motor in it?

SpudRider · 10-16-2015, 03:13 AM

Both bikes look good.

demidestructo · 10-16-2015, 06:21 AM

Thanks guys I bought this bike to see if I would like motorcycles and then sell .I tell you now I have no desire to sell it.It is the cg and before I hated the fact that it was a 150cc when most other bikes have bigger displacement .Now I know that I can go forever on a tank on a motor that was made to have little to no maintenance. The way I take care of things It will last forever.Thanks for the help everyone. I am going to put the xr 200 motor on this winter maybe but its hard to pull a motor when it runs so sweet, ya know!

Hey jin I hope they bring the kpr bike over and I seen some sweet supermoto that they had.I see lifan sell a lot in Russia and Africa. I dated a girl from south Africa and she said she rode a lifan back home and jumped on mine and rode off! I really like my lifan and would definitely buy another. I am looking at a zero motorcycle though now I really like electric motorcycle

Weldangrind · 10-16-2015, 10:36 AM

Zero motorcycles are pretty cool. I'd like to take one for a rip.

demidestructo · 10-16-2015, 12:58 PM

You can! Zero motorcycles will demo you one all you have to do is call them up ee if they have one around you (the bike not a dealership) They bring it over and let you try it .they are made in California and are really nice I hear. I also was thinking about building my own out of the lifan . Theres a guy in germany who sells a kit to convert a dirtbike that does 107mph and has 110 mile range and use regeneritive braking to slow the bike some . Really cool I found this guy when I was looking at how to wire my little electrocycle and he sells the kit when you pay him he sends you the stuff.He ws really funny guy and he said power was like a 400,426,450 .So all you would need plus some.Cost is all in battery but think about no oil changes or noise have the reason people don't like them is because they are loud.I think its a good idea and I think its a good alternative to restoring a bike .If you can't find a tiny part or can't afford the part just change it and give it new life. I would like to start a business changing them over. I know I have alot of business ideas but I want to have a business and help people with it .

Do you have a link to his site? I bought an old CBR600 a few years ago, thinking I'd convert it to Electric, but never got around to it......
