Electric Vehicles are expected to reduce the emissions caused by the road transport. However the electric vehicles present in the market currently have some major disadvantages. The conventional vehicles are better in terms of speed and provide required torque for different road conditions. In this paper, design and conversion of a normal motorcycle to an Electric Motorcycle (EM) is described. A 97.2cc Internal Combustion Engine motorcycle is selected and converted to EM. A brushless DC (BLDC) motor of 1.5 kW power is used. The performance of this motor is enhanced by coupling it to the 4-speed gearbox of the motorcycle. The power source used is lead-acid battery pack. Finally the testing of the Electric Motorcycle is done and required graphs are plotted to analyze the variation of theoretical and actual values. The coupling of motor with the gearbox enabled to achieve greater torque and vehicle speed. From the graphs plotted it was found that the coupling ratio of 0.5 between the motor and the gearbox helped to increase the speed of the bike while using the motor of same rpm. The theoretical speed calculated was 60 kmph and the actual speed of 55 kmph was achieved.
