Don't lump me in with them. I'm an enthusiast of mechanic design, be it engines, weaponry, or productive machinery. Not a guy with a wrench that reads the marketing garbage AFE/insert other "enthusiast" brand that can't legally warranty half of their products.

 

I fail to see a correlation between people screeching variations of "forced induction is more efficient!!! Reclaimed energy!!!" and anything I've said.

If you can't be civil. Please leave

 

Edit. That goes for everyone in the thread

I find it funny as fuck that my electric bicycle which is technically a motorbike, goes faster then those stupid fucking 125cc scooters.

I wish I could see their faces behind the full face helmet as I pull away from them in the bicycle lane at the light.

Looking at peoples scared faces on the sidewalk as I zip by them, inches away.

I laugh as my ear phones are pumping out Ozzy Osbourne.

 

Had my first fan today, as I brought my ebike onto the transit train. He was slobbering bad, beer in hand, spitting, mumbling something. He wanted to know how much and I said $2500, then where to buy it, I told him, then he offered me his cousins 2009 truck. I said Chief, I want cash not stolen goods. Wished him a good night, and hopped on my bike on the platform and wizzed by the train driver walking to the other end of the train at the end of the line.

 

A pedestrian waiting to cross at a light, was eyeballing my bike hard, I told him what it was, a quick back and forth for 20 seconds and I twisted the throttle and gone.

 

What I need is a 2.00x17 motorcycle rim, thats my next hunt. Fuck the torque that would produce is astronomical. Might even go smaller custom rim, say 14" welded on spokes.

 

Oh me so horny

Wow.

 

My friend came over to try out my Ducati (since he rides motorcycles), and beforehand I found out the battery had died. So when he got there we went on a quick search for a battery, couldn't find any, I mean what auto parts store carries batteries for a Ducati Superbike? So we went back, I ended up jump starting it with my mom's Sorento xD

 

We got it going, and as my friend put it in gear, it just died. Luckily it had enough charge to start again, put it in gear, died. Third time the battery was dead again smh

 

My friend had to get going, so he ended up leaving. Then the thought came to me that the bike has a side stand safety switch, so if the stand is down when you pop it into gear it will cut the engine.

 

So silly. xD I'm going to order a new battery that way I don't sell it with a dead battery lol.

I'm pretty sure that you're able to use whichever motorcycle battery, as long as it fits.

 

There is no such thing as a Ducati-branded battery.

 

Edit: And if you have one, then try placing the old battery on a trickle charger. It might just bring the old one back to life.

Yeah. My wallet is in intensive care at the moment :/ But yay for a locking diff. 

 

Only issue is we couldn't find one with 3.23 gears in it like mine. So now its got 3.42's in it. So i wonder if my speedometer is still accurate.

Gotta get a new battery today. Old one is dead, not sure if it was because I always left the Cobb AccessPort plugged in and on... Either way the battery is probably almost two years old so. Stopping by AutoZone at lunch to pick one up. 

 

On the bright side, Intercooler is still on track to arrive tomorrow! One full month after I emailed the guy it's arriving.

I have questions regarding the legality of this e-bike. Is it considered an electric bicycle, or an electric motorcycle?

 

I want to say electric motorcycle, since it has too much power for a normal unregistered moped. It's probably not legal to ride them on the public roads if they aren't registered, insured, etc.

Yeah I've neevr had a battery die on me like thtis, but considering my car has a dash cam (which is supposed to turn off when the car is off to NOT drain the battery) all the extra power from the factory system and now the Cobb access port which I know was almost always on might have done it (I had no issues up until about three weeks ago, AP was installed two months ago)

simply just unplug all that shit when you park your car. simple as that. and that dash cam prolly has issues since i have one that shuts off with the car.
