The Electric ATV Conversion Ep.1

Welcome to the first video of the channel, and the first video in the series of converting a conventional gas powered ATV to an electric ATV. In this video the ATV/quad is stripped from all body panels, wiring-harness and engine, down to just the rolling chassis, in preparation for determining the component layout.
The quad is a 150cc Texas King Off-Roader (copy of Yamaha Blaster), with 12.5 HP and a four speed gearbox. The motor that is to replace the combustion engine is a MOTENERGY ME1507 PMSM that delivers 14.5 kW of continuous power, at a nominal torque of 32 Nm.

The scope for next video is to insert mockups of the electric motor, battery pack and gearbox in the chassis, to gain better knowledge of the available space. I will also be taking a closer look at the 2002 Arctic Cat 500cc final drive axel that I have just received from Colorado.
A video explaining how to calculate battery capacity and size, form a given set of objectives and constraints, is also in the pipeline.

A special thanks to my very good friend Mathias E. C. for helping me with the project and the filming.

A bit about me:
I'm a mechanical engineering student who has decided to try and start my own consultancy company which is dealing with electrification of internal combustion engine vehicles and green solutions.
The channel covers aspects of entrepreneurship, product development and mechanical engineering practice.
Follow along as I embark on new projects and try to figure out the entrepreneurial world.

Please feel free to follow along in the project as I work my way forward. - I'll be sure to include both succes and learnings from the process.
