WHEELS SPINNING ON OUR DIY ELECTRIC HARLEY DAVIDSON

EV Channels Review

This video documents the ongoing custom electric conversion of a 2007 Harley Davidson Electric Glide. The host details the process of removing the original engine and transmission to install an electric motor and battery system. Key steps shown include fabricating mounts for the new motor, installing a belt drive system (a departure from the original chain drive, chosen for quietness despite adding complexity), and explaining the electrical wiring diagram. The presenter highlights the challenges of custom fabrication, particularly with the belt drive, and the need for precise alignment. While the video showcases significant progress, including a successful initial motor spin-up, it notes that programming the controller for forward motion and final assembly are still pending. The project is ultimately destined for a buyer, "Dave," also known as "Car Wizard."
