First Motorcycle Ideas

I drew the first ideas for the bike on paper and roughly looked for the materials and looked at it with pictures, although I finally did it in 3D design.
Research and Purchase of Materials:
![IMG_20200420_154441.jpg](/proxy/?url=https://content.instructables.com/FOJ/XE38/KF3YUDPM/FOJXE38KF3YUDPM.jpg&filename=IMG_20200420_154441.jpg)
I bought an electric kit for Amazon. I got the rest of the materials on the go.
engine kit
vateria

To make the bike I used these tools.
-Radial
- Soldering iron
- Drill
- Claus Allen
- Wrench
- Gloves
-Glasses
-beak parrot
-bench snail
-hammer
- Polisher
- pliers
-screwdriver
-droaches.
3D Chassis Design:

![Moto 2Martif.jpg](/proxy/?url=https://content.instructables.com/F47/IM70/KF3YUEFW/F47IM70KF3YUEFW.jpg&filename=Moto 2Martif.jpg)
I drew the chassis with a pencil and the design I liked the most I made it in 3D with the Tinkercad program.
Construction Material
![IMG_20200420_153821.jpg](/proxy/?url=https://content.instructables.com/FEZ/JB3B/KF3YUEAX/FEZJB3BKF3YUEAX.jpg&filename=IMG_20200420_153821.jpg)
![IMG_20200420_154032.jpg](/proxy/?url=https://content.instructables.com/FSB/8VV6/KF3YUEAS/FSB8VV6KF3YUEAS.jpg&filename=IMG_20200420_154032.jpg)
I used iron to make the bike because it's cheaper and I can work on it because I can't weld aluminum. Iron is also easy to obtain but weighs quite a bit.
Chassis Construction
![IMG_20200420_153514.jpg](/proxy/?url=https://content.instructables.com/F06/SBHO/KF3YUEB8/F06SBHOKF3YUEB8.jpg&filename=IMG_20200420_153514.jpg)
![IMG_20200420_153549.jpg](/proxy/?url=https://content.instructables.com/FFV/IZJJ/KF3YUEB5/FFVIZJJKF3YUEB5.jpg&filename=IMG_20200420_153549.jpg)
![IMG_20200420_154647.jpg](/proxy/?url=https://content.instructables.com/FPW/Y9O5/KF3YUEA5/FPWY9O5KF3YUEA5.jpg&filename=IMG_20200420_154647.jpg)
First I got the irons to size, then I cut them and glued them to size like the 3D designs. and finally I welded the chassis.
Electronics

I connected the motorcycle electronics to it. I soldered the wires as you see in the picture. I connected the accelerator LCD to the engine and battery. Low solder to the wires to avoid short circuit.
Assemble the Pieces
![Screenshot 2020-09-15 at 19.36.51.png](/proxy/?url=https://content.instructables.com/FI9/1YNG/KF3YUK77/FI91YNGKF3YUK77.png&filename=Screenshot 2020-09-15 at 19.36.51.png)

This step I made the chassis to the size of the steps and mounted the steps to the chassis.
Driving and Functional Tests
![IMG_20200830_160425.jpg](/proxy/?url=https://content.instructables.com/FXG/0PXO/KF3YUICP/FXG0PXOKF3YUICP.jpg&filename=IMG_20200830_160425.jpg)
![IMG_20200830_161417_BURST001_COVER (2) (1) (1).jpg](/proxy/?url=https://content.instructables.com/FX1/O8T4/KF3YUHDG/FX1O8T4KF3YUHDG.jpg&filename=IMG_20200830_161417_BURST001_COVER (2) (1) (1).jpg)
When I finished the chassis I mounted the whole bike to test if it was going well or grandma to change something like for example I changed the brake support and roughly I was ready to review the welds.
Preparation for Painting
![IMG_20200902_162410.jpg](/proxy/?url=https://content.instructables.com/FWV/NLBK/KF895UTQ/FWVNLBKKF895UTQ.jpg&filename=IMG_20200902_162410.jpg)

First I went over the welds on the chassis, and roughly put in the putty. I roughly polished all the putty and cleaned the chassis to paint.
Painting
![IMG_20200902_153524.jpg](/proxy/?url=https://content.instructables.com/FA2/CFB4/KF895UTN/FA2CFB4KF895UTN.jpg&filename=IMG_20200902_153524.jpg)
Per pintar la bicicleta vaig penjar el xassís i vaig mullar el terra per no aixecar pols. Després vaig fer dues capes d’imprimació en spray dues capes de pintura i finalment dues capes de laca.
Final Touches
![Screenshot 2020-09-08 at 13.35.26.png](/proxy/?url=https://content.instructables.com/FUO/LANW/KESJEEID/FUOLANWKESJEEID.png&filename=Screenshot 2020-09-08 at 13.35.26.png)

Finally I mounted the whole bike I put the pair cables inside the chassis so it is not seen. I send you I cleaned the steps and I go to cava to paint the bike. Also put lights.
Power Figures

The bike has a 1500w and 48v motor. It reaches about 63 km / h.
The battery is 48v and 12A the battery lasts about 25 km on a charge.
The engine does not wear out but the battery does.
You can do up to 100,000km without doing any rough maintenance would change the battery.

- You do not have to do any maintenance.
- Recharge the battery and it costs € 0.5.
- Does not pollute and does not make noise.
- You don't have gears, you just have to accelerate. - The motor does not need chains.
