Honda CR-E - Nicot/AdmitJet Electric SWAP

You are looking at the first ever - HONDA CR-E

This is a 2003 Honda CRF 450 dirt bike, that is running a 12kW electric motor, with 4 manual gears and clutch. The electric swap has been pulled from a Nicot E-Beast / AdmitJet Armor (they use the same engine and trans) and installed in the Honda chassis.

The 12kW motor, 72V50Ah battery, APT72400 controller, 4 speed transmission and clutch are all stock, with no modifications.

The bike is running flat track suspension, which is why it's sitting so low.

This is the first ride after completing this awesome build. There are still some tweaks that need to be made, but overall, this is a great starting point I'd say.

According to the GoPro GPS data, the top speed reached in the video is 77km/h (48mph) - mind you the bike would have gone faster, but Shae from @electricmx ran out of road.

I think we need to take this bike on an open road and do a proper speed test.
Spring cannot come quick enough!

What do you think of this build?

What do you think the first mods should be?

Should we race the CR-E against some other electric dirt bikes??
