Great achievement! The only thing is the design of the battery pack, it looks like a brick hanging from the frame. I hope your next project, you guys can shape the battery pack to flow with the frame of the bike so that it looks integrated.
thinking the same, it's a fair bit more effort but they absolutely could rearrange the cells into a rhombus and even attach a cosmetic shape to the bottom to make it rounded. I'd like to see some implementation of a air channel in the battery to bring high speed usage temps down.
I noticed that too. Aside from aesthetics my bigger concern is aerodynamics and strong cross winds! Hopefully it’s fairly stable in cross winds with that large solid mass. Awesome creation though!!
You guys not only delivered you did it in spades. I’ve been along for the whole series on this bike from start to finish, and I have to say there is definitely no other channel that has even gotten close to what you two have come up with. This is why your channels are a go to. Thanks for doing what you do and giving us some amazing content and entertainment. Keep up the excellent work and as always have a great day.
This has got to be the most cool project I've ever seen anyone do. Hands down this is my favourite electric vehicle video, you two are incredibly talented and driven and this was a pleasure to watch. Can only imagine riding this!
Lord Curt you are a Legend!! This bike has blown me away, after the last Video I was in awe of the sound and look of this Top Eride and you dude are responsible for this!! Inja you are so lucky having him as your wing man!! What a build!! Proud to be Subscribed!!
Love the matte/satin finish on the tank, I think that's one of the elements that gives it a premium look. I think I would have painted the silver accents on the hub motor gold to match the front, but that's just a tiny detail. People comment about the square battery boxes, I don't hate them although I wonder if you couldn't get more room for a few extra cells buy shaping it with a couple extra angles. Still, for all the effort that goes into building the box the fact that it's even on the bike is a praise worthy success. Great work!
You two have just made a mockery of the big manufacturers out there. If you can knock something as good as you have in a garage with bits and bobs, either the big boys can’t or won’t go electric.
Was patiently (impatiently) waiting for the next video. So glad to see an actual end date. Now to grab some more merch and cross my fingers. Haha. I travel full time in an RV that I converted to run all daily life off solar and lithium batteries. How cool would it be to charge my motorcycle from the sun. Never paying to "fuel" it up. We boondock in the middle of the desert/forest/mountains/beaches exclusively, so charging the bike in the middle of nowhere would be incredible. You guys did an amazing job on everything from the advanced power storage/distribution, the the overall fit an finish. Great job! And whoever wins the bike will enjoy it for years to come.
You two knocked it out of the frig’n park!! Aesthetics and tech are on point, yeah boooyyy! And totally unexpected was the sound it makes, probably the best EM I’ve ever heard! You both did such a great job👏
Been working on a electric Mazda RX8 conversion. A good battery is a great starting point. Excited to see the updated video of the bike with full range testing
Do you have a channel or anything that I could follow for this? I'm actually doing a Suzuki GS1100 motorcycle as a proof-of-concept and then will be transitioning to a Mazda RX-8 as well. I have an NC Miata, but the RX-8 has ALWAYS had my heart and I can't imagine having anything better than an electric one...
🤤😍😍🤤 yall made her look so clean! yall have been killing it. I almost never get excited for RUclips notifications but when I see yall uploaded a new video I find a hiding place at work and watch it lol
INCREDIBLE work, just absolutely incredible! The commitment and the the final outcome, what a masterpiece! I also jumped during the battery plug in @7:12 not gonna lie.
Another Awesome Job Guys ! ! ! Your experience from the LC45 resulted in a magnificent work of art and technology in less than half the time! And I'm seeing things I can use on a Honda CL350 conversion....
AMAZING job guys! awesome. not to be one of those criticizing people or anything thought maybe just an idea for next time. maybe a belly pan under the batt case so its not so square. just a thought. but that thig is beautiful
What a fantastic build and finished paint cover. Also, the room lighting makes working in such an area easier for so many reasons, not excluding recording the build process as well. So thanks from us viewers
Absolutely beautiful bike guys! People can hate on the oversized battery pack but the craftsmanship that went into this build is unprecedented for a DIY custom build. You clearly did everything possible aesthetically to building the bike around that pack and still keeping the classic Ducati monster look which is amazing in my book. Awesome job guys!
looks great and really finished! The only complaint would be the square battery box, would have been nice if it could’ve been rounded off at the front. The bike looks great guys!
For sure. I think what people don't realize is rounding the box at all, even just an inch, would take an entire bank of cells out and lose you like 40 miles of range or more. Which is huge. Plus less Power capability, so lower performance all the way around.
@@TheInja its a delicate dance with electric. but its coming along so fast. and you guys contribution is making things happen more than you even realize.
Making the battery curved would definitely require a different cell layout, and the ones taken off the bottom would have to be added to the front, which increases complexity. It would, however, make it look a lot better, and potentially have less drag. Adding frame rails next to that curve would also be a very good idea, since the battery isn't a structural part like the engine was.
Appreciating the details on painting. Cars have nooks n crannies. Motorcycles ARE nooks and crannies. For tiny handed humans. Anyways... nice bike. I'm really digging the electric side of transpo. No shifting. Straight power.. if desired. Voltbeast.
Great build . Im a fan of ur work man!!.. Although I suggest giving it a full cafe racer faring that'll not just hide the batterypack and make it a whole lot cooler but It will also improve the aerodynamics and will cut through air quite easily for more battery milage per charge.
really enjoyed this build, but a cool chin fairing to smooth out that under section would be cool and wouldn't do much to hide anything still. the sharp points at the bottom of the battery box just keep drawing my eye and with everything else flowing so much it stands out a tiny bit.
Like what you've done Only two problems with it 1: The battery box looks like a box And 2: Can't enter you competition I live in Old England 😭 Keep up the good Chaps 👍
Inja I have a cool idea !!!!! On the begining of this video you should edit it and have the Roadrunner BEEEP BEEP as the bike flys by!!! Lololololol. That’s totally what I’m hearing in my mind while the bike silently wooshes by! 👍🏼👍🏼
Well done! I've been a motorcycle mechanic for 30 years, and just got interested in electric conversions. I have an old GSXR-750 that I would love to EV convert. FYI, Ducati intentionally designed in some flex on that trellis frame to absorb shock when the bike is leaned over and hits a bump in a corner. That only works with a steel frame, and since most sport-bikes have aluminum frames that design philosophy has mostly gone away.
Thank you Lord Kurt for having the skills needed to build a state-of-the-art electric bike. And thank you Inja for.....installing some stickers and polishing some bits...or something.
This Bike is much more refinded than the last build congratulations on really stepping up your skills! This could turn into a very interactive community if anyone wanted to pay you guys to build a bike for them and they could send you the frame. Unrelated; I would love to see Matt from Bikes and Beards drive this bike and get his opinion before you give it away.
Thats why I love hub motors, no need for chain and engine in the mid part of the bike, you can use all the space up for bigger and more powerful battery pack.
Waiting now all haters comment " I could've done better" lol As a side note though, Inja you work really good with fiberglass(I've seen it) hence I would recommend to your next project create some fibeglass shape for outside of the battery storage, to give that "curved feel" to the design. Again just suggestion mate, I know you can do it :)
Congrats on the sick build. probably the slickest electric conversion on RUclips right now! How's the mileage tracking? The ninja sword was a nice touch. looks like it added a few horsepowers.
Awesome build, and props on doing most of the stuff inhouse! I'm quite curious about the hub motor wheel, where did you come by that? And also what's your experience with it, do you feel the impact of the extra unsprung mass etc?
AWESOME work guys ! I’ve never even rode a motorcycle but recently got an Ebike and love. Riding it. I can only imagine how great and fun this is. You guys outdid yourselves, VERY IMPRESSIVE!!! 10 stars. Just please be very careful. You’re both very young with MANY years ahead of you. Safety first and happy riding! I’m shocked that you’re giving away this GEM. your a better man then me lol I’d want it for myself hee hee. Keep up great work! Cheers from NY
Wow. Great job and bike. A 750 Monster was my first bike. They make a belly pan for those monsters. It would be a great addition to break up the hard lines of the battery box if you could fit it somehow.
Thanks for the complete rundown on everything that went into the bike and how and why. You just keep learning and getting better and better at building these things. Crazy how fast and how much range you ended up with. It sounds like a jet doing fly by👍
Things that should be on the parts list
-ton of manhours
-huge know how
-balls of steel
Lololol!!!!!!!
The best I can do is 1 ball, that too only plastic. Take it or leave it
Great achievement! The only thing is the design of the battery pack, it looks like a brick hanging from the frame. I hope your next project, you guys can shape the battery pack to flow with the frame of the bike so that it looks integrated.
thinking the same, it's a fair bit more effort but they absolutely could rearrange the cells into a rhombus and even attach a cosmetic shape to the bottom to make it rounded. I'd like to see some implementation of a air channel in the battery to bring high speed usage temps down.
that battery must take 2 days to charge 😂
I noticed that too. Aside from aesthetics my bigger concern is aerodynamics and strong cross winds! Hopefully it’s fairly stable in cross winds with that large solid mass. Awesome creation though!!
it looks like a magazine to weapon
I like the shape of it. I mean the engine hung down just as low. This looks more low profile then the engine to me.
You guys not only delivered you did it in spades. I’ve been along for the whole series on this bike from start to finish, and I have to say there is definitely no other channel that has even gotten close to what you two have come up with.

what a beast!!! Mucho love from the UK
seems genuine??????
Super73 is jealous af now. Good job you guys!
That came out great! Time to start thinking about your next project.
Yessir, already lined up 😏
Nice speed! I've been watching curt posts on Facebook and was waiting for the video!
Yes lads ,good job lord curt ,or should I say ,beam me up scottie I'm with the Inja and captain Kurt 😂,5.29 I listened as well as watching 😎
Looks awseome guys! Cant wait to see the range test!!
Wow, I've been watching this whole build start to finish. It looks even better than I could have possibly imagined!

That would be awesome! Best of luck in the raffle, Sean!!
yall deserve acclaim for this. i hope you keep making them
Ohhh snap. This is what I'm looking to build. Something more like this.
You did it again. Beautiful!
Bro excellent work. That bike looks and sounds amazing. Hats down to you and Lord Curt.
You two knocked it out of the frig’n park!! Aesthetics and tech are on point, yeah boooyyy! And totally unexpected was the sound it makes, probably the best EM I’ve ever heard! You both did such a great job👏
Holy cow, that sounds like a low altitude jet fighter passing. Great work guys!
one of the coolest videos i’ve ever seen! the angle in the car was beautiful

Lot of hard work but all worth it super cool project👌👍❤️❤️❤️
Great looking bike. There's probably a market for ev converted bikes with good range which doesn't cost as much as a Livewire.
AMAZING job guys! awesome. not to be one of those criticizing people or anything thought maybe just an idea for next time. maybe a belly pan under the batt case so its not so square. just a thought. but that thig is beautiful
This is genius level stuff 🤯 well done gentlemen! 👏🏻
What a fantastic build and finished paint cover. Also, the room lighting makes working in such an area easier for so many reasons, not excluding recording the build process as well. So thanks from us viewers
Awesome job, I hope someday I can build one similar to this one. Good luck to the U.S. residents that can win this! Greetings from Argentina.
Damn, I wish I would’ve discovered this 4 months ago. This is fabulous and inspirational!
Enjoyed the video and the build. Your engineering mind is astonishing.
My friend & your cousin Jeff from C.G.I. said Hi 🙋🏾♂️🙋♂️
This bike is so amazing, you guys did such an amazing job. Also dang it’s fast
Great job! Way to tough it out! There's nothing like achieving the objective. It was a fun ride! 👍 You guys ROCK!
LUCKY ME
Such an amazing job, be proud, very proud. Don't know how you can give it away, someone is going to be very lucky.
Way Cool. Wiring Batteries must take a Tonn of patience!😎👍
The bike is the muts nuts.
Excellent job.
What can i say its helluva amazing project and it sounds like a jet engine so darn impressive.
Thanks, super cool bike for sure. 💯
insane. i dont know whats crazier: the build itself, or giving it away. a new standard has been set for DIY electric builds.
That battery pack is sick.
Freakin huge
amazing work. the black/carbon fiber look was the perfect choice. It looks sick...even with that chungus of a battery pack hanging off it :)
im have been a huge fan of this series and i learned a lot from it, thnks inja for the extreme piece for bike lovers
superb work guys, u r talented and passionate, how about adding a radiator cover, and bottom curvy cover for the battery, to reduce the cube looks?
Wow! Very nice 👍🏼.
Beautiful looking 🏍 great job guys 👏🏼👏🏼
Absolutely beautiful bike guys! People can hate on the oversized battery pack but the craftsmanship that went into this build is unprecedented for a DIY custom build. You clearly did everything possible aesthetically to building the bike around that pack and still keeping the classic Ducati monster look which is amazing in my book. Awesome job guys!
Thanks, Nick! Biggest battery we could fit and best it can look! 💯
That battery case definitely looks like my ultra stealth PC case!
looks great and really finished! The only complaint would be the square battery box, would have been nice if it could’ve been rounded off at the front. The bike looks great guys!
For sure. I think what people don't realize is rounding the box at all, even just an inch, would take an entire bank of cells out and lose you like 40 miles of range or more. Which is huge. Plus less Power capability, so lower performance all the way around.

Motor kw
And 0-100 kmph acceleration
Appreciating the details on painting.
Cars have nooks n crannies. Motorcycles ARE nooks and crannies. For tiny handed humans.
Anyways... nice bike. I'm really digging the electric side of transpo.
No shifting. Straight power.. if desired. Voltbeast.
Very impressed ! something I rarely express to anything these days
It turned out so sweet. Looks amazing! You guys did a great job.
Thanks James! 💯
Great build . Im a fan of ur work man!!..
Although I suggest giving it a full cafe racer faring that'll not just hide the batterypack and make it a whole lot cooler but It will also improve the aerodynamics and will cut through air quite easily for more battery milage per charge.
Congratulations on finishing the build, it's amazing
Thanks Simon! So happy to have it finished...finally!
Absolutely nailed this one.
i love this motorcycle and love your Channel the givaway is close to my birthday fingers crossed
Great Work Inja!!! Great Work Lord Kurt!!! Phenomenal Job! Been following this build since day one!
Nicely Done. That is a lot of work
really enjoyed this build, but a cool chin fairing to smooth out that under section would be cool and wouldn't do much to hide anything still. the sharp points at the bottom of the battery box just keep drawing my eye and with everything else flowing so much it stands out a tiny bit.
Fricking Love the build guys! Lord Curt is a beast
Like what you've done
Only two problems with it
1: The battery box looks like a box
And
2: Can't enter you competition
I live in Old England 😭
Keep up the good Chaps 👍
Wow!!! It's amazing guys!
You guys did AMAZING on this stealth build. Entered the drawing and crossing my fingers!
Inja I have a cool idea !!!!! On the begining of this video you should edit it and have the Roadrunner BEEEP BEEP as the bike flys by!!! Lololololol. That’s totally what I’m hearing in my mind while the bike silently wooshes by! 👍🏼👍🏼
Another cool build. You guys are just getting better. 🤛

You have my attention, my '85 Slabbie is up for an engine rebuild...
Really amazing guys! It's been an awesome journey watching you from bike to Mercedes to bike!
U guys are absolutely AmaaaAAzzzzZZZZeeeeeeEEnnnnggGG!! 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
you guys did a really good job on that conversion, even if i dont win props to all the stuff yall do together, dream team baybeeee
You should get that awesome“golf cart” slammed and give it a crazy chamber angle😂🙏
Incredible build process and beautiful bike. I'm picturing the frame in my head as red or the same dirty gold color as the brakes, soo freakin sexy
What about cooling, those battery would definitely heat up during charging & pulls?
Amazing job guys! Great channel even better built 🙌
Thank you Lord Kurt for having the skills needed to build a state-of-the-art electric bike. And thank you Inja for.....installing some stickers and polishing some bits...or something.
Thanks!

those guys are whiny combustard engine lovers only
Awesome Dude !! So many have set out but never produced.
That's sick.. awesome build..💥💥💪💪
Looks awesome I can see a lot more of this going on
Is there a forum for the build at all?
Go comment on Lord Kirk's channel, he has all that stuff! He has been posting on groups and forums about it!
Amazing work! You've inspired me to try this build myself :) You guys rock!
Congratulations guys, great work.
Thats why I love hub motors, no need for chain and engine in the mid part of the bike, you can use all the space up for bigger and more powerful battery pack.
Curious on how much harder you can push the QS273 with some higher-discharge cells...
Out of this Freakin’Deakin World 🌎…. On Swiftness Motorcycle 🏍 Lightning ⚡️
cant believe i missed this contest. It looks amazing!
Waiting now all haters comment " I could've done better" lol
As a side note though, Inja you work really good with fiberglass(I've seen it) hence I would recommend to your next project create some fibeglass shape for outside of the battery storage, to give that "curved feel" to the design.
Again just suggestion mate, I know you can do it :)
Great! I would add a brace beneath the battery box.
Congrats on the sick build. probably the slickest electric conversion on RUclips right now! How's the mileage tracking?
The ninja sword was a nice touch. looks like it added a few horsepowers.
so very cool. my Harley fxr has the swingarm mounted in the transmission. I believe that buel brought that to the table for them.
Lord Curt, very nice job!
Awesome build, and props on doing most of the stuff inhouse! I'm quite curious about the hub motor wheel, where did you come by that? And also what's your experience with it, do you feel the impact of the extra unsprung mass etc?
Most of the electric powertrain components come from AliExpress, works well and you don't really feel the weight of it when you're riding. 💯
Great job, some fairings would be smoother to cover up the bricks,curves need curves,great job !!!!
AWESOME work guys ! I’ve never even rode a motorcycle but recently got an Ebike and love. Riding it. I can only imagine how great and fun this is.

Thanks, Jake! 🙌🏽
Great build! Any idea on how to charge diy bike on public chargers?
That's a sick bike. Good job, I takes a lot of knowledge and skill to ev sway a bike like that, And it looks great too!
Wow. Great job and bike. A 750 Monster was my first bike. They make a belly pan for those monsters. It would be a great addition to break up the hard lines of the battery box if you could fit it somehow.
Better than showroom. Built with love by people that like doing it.
did you use the controller that came with the kit?
Wow very amazing bike I wish I have my own bike someday,you guys are very genius that's is a great work good job guys
Thanks for the complete rundown on everything that went into the bike and how and why. You just keep learning and getting better and better at building these things.
Crazy how fast and how much range you ended up with. It sounds like a jet doing fly by👍
