For info, the German company who made the electric Gas Gas conversion (remember that Adam Raga video) offer a 'drop in' engine pack for any Gasser from 2010 onwards. They claim a two hour conversion time. The cost is from around £3000 stirling. They are also making an alternative motor pack with a hydraulic clutch and a six speed gearbox, no price yet. It looks neat, but sounds as if it's going to be expensive.

 

Anybody tried them?

Think if I had a GG and wanted to go electric I'd just sell the GG and buy an EM5.7.

Personally I think its expensive for what it is and have always though this.. A six speed GB is a total waist of time on a electric bike ( just adds more weight ) you need no more than 3 gears but 2 gears should be all you ever need on a electric. A mechanical clutch is also a waste of valuable weight saving options ( my own personal opinion, based on tests and experience ).

 

by the time you cost in a 2010+ GG bike you had just as well get a EM , having said that if the battery on the GG conversion is what the spec claims then it has more battery capacity than the EM and I also expect that a converted GG will be lighter than the EM ( but not by anything much if at all).

 

bottom line... do your own conversion for a much cheaper option if you already have a gas bike that you want to be electric.

A guy here in the netherlands build a electric gas gas from an edition. Electric engine, without gears, with a sort of free switch on the place of clutch.

 

For many riders more than good enough to ride really well with!
