Hello,
I design and build custom electric conversions per request. Here's an example of a KTM65 conversion. If you have any questions regarding electric bikes just text or email me and I'll try to answer them. Mark at MSC Engineering 602 752 0083 or maxvonauto@aol.com

I'll send you a personal message with my buddy's contact info. He has an extra brand new E10 that he said he could part with. He has experience with affordable shipping too.

Mark911 and Bryan, either of you guys know why the Alta owners forum is down? I've been off forums for a while. Been working too much and riding too little...

And Mark, if a 65cc electric is not available in a couple years I may be contacting you. That thing looks badass!

I just got an sx-e 5 for my 3yr10month old boy who has been on a stacyc 12 for about 8 months. He is tiny. 3rd percentile for height looks like a 2.5 year old and is finally crested 30lbs. So, I dropped off at racetech in corona, ca for full suspension revalve and to have the ktm power parts lowering kit installed as well as a 10" wheel from the 50 mini. For those of you wondering what this looks like, I'm picking up bike today and will snap some pics of him on it and maybe video for his first time on it.

It looks long and big for less than 4 years. We opted to have Oset 12.5 before guy gets bigger for now.
Anyway would love to see your bike and first ride videos as well.

I should probably update this eh..

Did quite a bit of research and I honestly couldn't justify the ktm at this point. With her, I'm just going for the fun factor.

I chose a YCF 50 E and she's got about 5 hours on it now.

If you're interested further, search OMPR pitbike group on Facebook. A local shop reached out and offered a good deal too when they knew what I was looking for.

This isn't nearly as adjustable as the ktm, but the ability to adjust the throttle response and overall power has been a good thing for us. My only gripe so far is the cheap chain. Stretched really quick and multiple times. I'm going to put a quality 415 on it and see how it does.

Overall, for around $1500, I'm happy so far. I'm pretty sure she is too!

Bad ass. While the ycf is working out great, I do wish I could've justified/afforded the ktm.

How long does the ycf go on the battery and is the acceleration and speed adjustable separately? I have the 12.5 oset r and it’s awesome around the house. But the hour run time doesn’t work for my son anymore. He rides till it’s dark

I use a cheap 2000 watt harbor freight generator at the track to charge. Barely can hear it.

More than half the tracks have electrical hook ups though you can just plug it into
I also have a ktm E5 for my 6 years old kid. I'm looking for a generator to charge the battery at the track. Your 2000w one is working well? It's enough or maybe a 2500w could be better? Thanks in advance!!

Get the harbor freight one for $450
And buy the two year plan. If anything happens they take it back no questions asked. I’m never going to change the oil on it or anything. So quite too, when at the track I leave it running even when we ain’t charging. Crank it up when we get there, then turn it off when we leave.

No electrical expert, but dont think a 3500 watt would charge any quicker than a 2000 watt. I either charges or doesn’t. No expert though

Mark911's next project. An 85 destroyer, targeting superminis! This thing is going to be so bad ass.

Using modified 48mm forks (from the big bikes) and rear shock (from the big bikes)!

I'm just now seeing your post.
My daughter is getting close to 2.5 hours. A random 25 minute charge adds about a half hour it seems.

Acceleration and throttle response can be adjusted separately.

So far, she's broken levers and wore out a set of rear brake pads. I ordered unbreakable levers (which comes with better perches too) and some brake pads.

Wow that’s not bad my son has Stayc 12 he rides the wheels off it, and we have a torrent E10 but it’s to tall still for him. I’m working on my other pw50 that has no training wheels that I think he will do fine on. I almost went the husky e5 route but really liking the Cobra E5 that suppose to come out later. My sons same age can he touch the ground pretty good?

Where did you get the e10? I’ve been looking at those for months now and can’t find one single place to buy one

I really like what i am seeing. Especially with a 13-18 donor. For instance that can be a great 2nd bike for someone serious about racing but living in or near a residential area and whose parents are working during the week.

I found a guy who bought a few of them and was selling them.

My 3 year old loves his sx-e 5, I did the lowering kit and 10 inch wheel as well. He also has a sx mini which is much lower then the sx-e 5 with the forks slid up that he is actually starting to like more but he started on an oset 12.5 R at 18 months so the SX-E 5 felt like home from the oset with its super smooth linear throttle. Now that he's on the gas and jumping, the power band of the mini doesn't bother him and he seems to like it.

Wow! You're kids doing amazing. I was sure the mini and sx-e were supposed to be same seat height but the mini is still lower?

SX-E 5 is 21.5"
SX-50 Mini is 20.25"

The triples on the electric are the same as the sx-50 so they have the taller head tube. I did put a set of mini forks in the electric for a while (which works) but he likes the air fork over the mini non adjustable so we put the air forks back in. The extra height seems to be all in the forks and the longer swingarm. He just starts on starter blocks and has to ride up to me or mom to get off. He can one foot it on the mini.



The electric is great for my wife. She won't do the gaser but they ride the track at home all day when I'm at work on the electric. Electric is great for anyone that just wants to do standard maintenance, lube a chain and charge. He rides mode 5 and gets about a hour and a half on semi hard pack. On loamy or sandy tracks he only gets about 45 maybe a hour.

For the bigger (little) kids and adults that think an electric 65 can't be competitive I'd direct you to this video of the prototype ktm 65 conversion I built for Electro and Company in action. Enjoy.

Anyone bought one for their kid yet? My daughter loves everything about Moto, but her PW has been a pain in my ass. Wouldn't mind skipping the rest of the gas powered 50s too lol.
Saw a husky and a ktm at western two weekends ago. Just suck it up. Buy one.
