Since I won't be using the custom e-crazyman controller for the motorcycle project I looked into using it to upgrade this to 72V. I will need to test the controller with this motor to see if it can get the right phase for it, and if that is successful then it's only a matter of adding $40 worth of parts.

It will involve replacing the dc-dc converter with a 12v 5ah battery (which I already have), adding onboard chargers for the 72v and 12v packs, and adding relays for the ignition and brake light circuits.

I've also ordered a set of replacement tires since the stock ones are really flimsy and treadless.
