Donner Bike
Build my Island bike
The Braaap EV5 is a pretty cheap bike, less than $5k.
The Island Bike
I would love to:
- Remove most of the plastic
- Add some metal fenders etc for a little safety
- Replace tyres with dirt tyres
Get money!
Get some money so I can do this
Buy the EV10 (10kW motor version)
This has a 120Ah battery.
Steel the battery
Steep the 80Ah battery from the EV5 (an 80Ah battery would cost me about $2500) and use it to extend the range of the EV10.
Replace the battery
Put a 20Ah battery (about $500) into the old EV5 - which is plenty of range for my island bike.
