exodyne electric motorcycle fuses battery power with home-made engineering

like a jacked-up battery pack connected to two wheels and a handlebar, the ‘exodyne’ electric motorcycle fuses rapid power with energetic, home-made engineering. created by a veterinarian in atlanta, usa, alan cross’ bespoke bike is the result of nine months of research, design and fabrication work. its center box frame, which houses 48 lithium polymer battery cells in a 100V 32 configuration, connects directly to the head stock with a swing arm pivot point. combined with a rear hub 11 kW motor, it has a top speed of 60 mph and a total range of 20 miles.

from the defining central battery pack frame, bright yellow scaffold-like structures shoot out to support the seat, as well as the rear suspension. alan’s craftsmanship has also lead to the reuse of machinery from old motorcycles. this includes; a 2005 suzuki ‘RMZ 250’ front fork, 1995 suzuki ‘RM 125’ headstock and rear swingarm, warp 9 wheels, brembo front brake, and a suzuki rear brake. interspersed between this upcycling, ‘exodyne’ is fitted with carbon fiber to ensure a low kerb weight of just 249 lbs. up top, the motorcycle is complete with a small cycleanalyst heads up display that shows its mph, amps and total discharge, as well as other essential information.
