A safety kill switch was purchased along with fully insulated quick-disconnect terminals, steel pipe flange and a grip throttle in order to connect the general circuit. We are currently looking for a set of tires, a chain, and a sprocket for the motorcycle, however the group is currently thinking to manufacture a custom sprocket. The battery was disassembled in order to discharge the battery cells for safety reasons. The heating element was tested with motor connected in series with it. Did not heat up the heating element. However, connecting the heating element by itself to the batteries (2S-1P, 6.6V) heated it up very quickly. It was decided to connect cells 2S-24P for discharge. 6.6V was tested, and the calculations show that the pack will be discharged in 32 hours. 9 hours a day, for three and a half days.
