They do not make it anymore.
Have you reached out to them? They have been pretty responsive to me for all of my questions. They may be able to work with you to help you get a kit made.
Yes I did, I offered to pay upfront, they weren’t interested.

If you go on the electric dirt bike site, Don Cox has built a number of them. KX,YZ and another buddy that nuilt a CR. I have built a couple full sie CRF 250's. Contact me and I can let you know about them.
I was not aware of that. That's too bad 👎
@JM485 may be able to help
Oh that is a bummer. If I were closer to Florida I would help you. However, if you bought the electro MX kit and the mini bike mounting pieces from Lithium King, that would get the motor mounted fairly easily and then surely you can find a welder buddy to help with the battery and controller mounting.
Dude, there are some Chinese sized like Super Mini's and they are spicier than the small Surron Light Bee.
I just rode an electric conversion in Florida (Waldo) last weekend. The guy who built it is in the Dade City area. I'll ask him what kit he used.
Thanks for replies guys.
This may be the route. I emailed lithium king.
We (aka E&C) have kind of taken a step back on the 85 and 65 conversions, they were just too difficult to manufacture and didn't sell enough to make it worth it at the time. I would like to revisit those kits again soon and update the design to be more manufacturing friendly, but I just haven't had the time to work on them with more pressing projects going on. 3D printing those battery boxes was an absolute nightmare, they look over 3 days to print and if anything went wrong during that timeframe I was out a lot of money in materials haha.
If you're interested in a slightly smaller bike our new ETM RTR might be a good fit for you. It's about the size of a 65 and has comparable power to a built 110 (think stock bore but fully built motor), and the suspension is a lot better than any stock pitbike on the market. We also offer full OEM parts support, so if anything were to get damaged in a crash you're not out of luck like with most pitbike companies, we keep parts stocked at all times. If you have any questions about it let me know, more than happy to provide any furth info.
