Electric Cagiva Mito - 72V 40Ah - LifePo4

Cagiva Mito Fairing

Cagiva Mito Fairing - Primer Stage

Compared to the Varadero the Mito has a lot of fairing. The whole thing was a total mess. Luckily my good mate Tom came to the rescue and both of us got stuck into getting them sorted.

It has taken almost two days to get the fairing into a reasonable condition for spraying. As I am also working on the Cagiva Mito as both sets of fairing are being sprayed simultaneously.

ELECTRIC SUZUKI GSXR 600 - READY FOR THE TTXGP

At last we finally get a glimpse of what was going on behind the doors of the PeaceHaven Electric Vehicle Workshop for the past three weeks. Steve has been working hard with the organisers of the Isle of Mann TTXGP to get this bad boy running for the races.

Initially my design was going to incorporate a PDA as a dash. That was before the controller went USB. Now that the controller's communication protocol has changed, it complicated the interface to a PDA without USB (No USB HOST on PDA's). Thats when I started to look at other solutions.

New batteries!

We got the battery trays installed, controller wired up, new sprocket, some EV200 Contactors and got her running. We still want to upgrade the batteries to some larger more powerful SLA's. LiFePo is going to happen once I can get some time to research and find some good pricing. The bike runs great now, even WITH lead acid.

I took it to EV Awareness day downtown in Portland, OR and it was quite popular.
