Has anyone seen this ? I emailed the guy and he says hes sold about 6 units. Its built off a custom frame and its the first real-looking electric sportbike...
It sure looks great, although I'm a little concerned to see the chain. The chain was always the "weak link" (no pun intended) in the Lectra; the high torque of...
I agree, the best idea would be an electric hub motor. Unfortunately, the one's you can buy, are designed for bicycle use. AND, the one's that are suitable for...
I've seen it and ridden it -- it's nice. Re: Chains. A chain is the most efficient way to transfer power from a motor to a wheel -- more efficient than gears...
I agree with Scott. Being a sportbike enthusiast, one of the first major things when considering performance, is "unsprung" weight. The hub motor is great when...
As said before, The cool thing about chain combos is that you can mess with the gearing. If you want more torque, put on a bigger sprocket on the rear wheel....
Scott: Rode the bike at 30mph from Occidental Rd & 116 at 6pm this morning, so it was cold out, and the temp light was on by the time I got to Fulton Rd. So...
Hi Eli,  Sounds like a connection to your SOC meter is loose or dirty. I suggest your check and clean all connetions to the SOC panel under the dash.  As...
Hello Eli, I saw your email to Scott and think I might be having a related problem. I rode the other night and the fan came on. I put it on charge but the...
I hope someone can help me out. I have recently come into possession of the better part (missing batteries and some body parts) of an EMB Lectra. As part of...
Hi Scott Its good to have this information - thank you very much. On my preproduction Lectra VIN0011, I am still having to manage without the SOC indication...
Sorry, not possible. EMB had that designed by a subcontractor and I do not have the PCB drawings nor the schematic for its circuitry.  ... From: Tony Abbey...
My SOC lights stop coming on then suddenly now they are blinking on and off like a strobe light. Also my key switch is not working: I think. I have to switch...
Hi, I am looking for sources of Lectra spare parts - specifically I would like to find a front wheel & tire. I know the tires are Dunlops (although I don't...
You can order the tires from Dunlop. The wheels may still be in stock at Zapworld.com, who bought EMB in 2001. We had about 200 wheels in stock when I sold...
Scott - In the electric gokart project that my son and I are doing, I don't have the regen potentiometer from the lectra, just the swingarm with motor, drive...
If you want to limit your speed, you can just change the sprockets. However this will give you some awesome wheel spins, especially on small go-kart wheels. ...
Jim is right on, gear changes is the best way to limit speed. And, yes, a high gear ratio will result in greater torque at the wheels. Be careful with...
Hi all; I just posted a want ad on evfinder.com for someone who is looking for a Lectra. If anybody knows of one that is available please respond to me off...
Hey I just wanted to tell you about a great company I found! I applyed for a lower mortgage rate and i only had to fill in a simple form. This month alone I...
Scott, et.al., Thanks for the info. I managed to find a wonderful motocycle parts and repair guy who rebuilt the original switch! I should never have opend it...
Well, after much searching and collecting of parts, our father/son project finally has a chassis and we can actually begin construction. For the few people who...
