Abstract

The process conversion of gasoline motorcycles to electric would be a solution reducing fuel imports and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. P3tek KEBTKE has been converted gasoline motorcycle to electric and tested the performance of converted motorcycle. The gasoline motorcycle has been converted to electric is NF11B1D M/T produced in 2010. The main process of conversion were replacing combustion engine with a electric motor type BDLC Mid Drive 2 Kw/72 V electric motor- battery capacity 72 V/20 Ah and electric motor controller 100 A/ 72 V. The method of performance test has testing initial gasoline motor and converted electric motor, which has used a dyno test to calculate power, torque and emission parameters. The road test of converted motorcycle on a flat contour to determine the energy consumption. The results test is gasoline motor decreased performance up to 35% before converted to electric and performance has increased 20 % after converted. Furthermore, the cost of electric energy source for converted motor is 9 times lower than using gasoline. This pilot has obtained SUT and SRUT certifications from the Ministry of Transportation, allowing government policies to be implemented.
