First Metzev Proof of Concept

Summary
Using a battery that was pulled from an electric car, we reconfigured the modules that make up the battery and retrofited them onto a 14kW ebike. This project demonstrates a use case for used electric vehicle batteries and helps create a solid foundation for Metzev's business model.
Desired Outcome
A reliable, sleek, well-constructed and powerful DIY battery made from Second Life EV batteries mounted onto an ebike. We want to show that these batteries can be used for endless applications. NOTE: Customers are solely responsible for determining battery suitability for any end use.

Powertrain
Metzev's Revolt 170 battery modules paired with a 400A motor controller push this electric racing go kart up to 40kW.

Application
Motorsport is an extremely expensive sport. At the entry level, getting started with racing go karts will run at least $10,000. With a switch to electric, we can drastically lower the upfront and maintenance costs of this sport, while increasing the fun.

Powertrain
This electric dirtbike started as an old Razor MX650 kids dirtbike. We retrofitted a 3000W brushless BLDC Motor, 120A programmable electronic speed controller, and our same 18S Metzev prototype battery.

Application
Just like the original dirtbike was every kids' dream, this electric dirtbike is every adults dream. Capable of speeds up to 45mph and rediculous torque, the high power system can carry an adult of any size. NOTE: Customers are solely responsible for determining battery suitability for any end use.
