Hi there! I’ve tried researching this myself, but found myself overwhelmed because I’m simply not knowledgable enough.
I’ve got a 20 year old 50cc vespa. I got this idea in my head that I should convert it to electric, since getting a new vehicle has such a huge environmental impact. The battery is on its last legs, and I’m not so sure about the engine either, and I was thinking I’d convert instead of replacing the existing parts. I’d like to keep it at a similar power bc that way, people who don’t have a motorcycle license could legally drive it, too. (If they have a car license.)
Has anyone done anything like this or has some other pointers?
TIA!
Pedelec sells kits too https://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/diy-electric-moped.41270/ if you’re in their market
Looks like there are some on Alibaba as well, but I can’t speak to the quality.
There’s another discussion about them on an old forum that might help: https://www.mopedarmy.com/forums/read.php?1,4640986
