Teemu Saukkio is a Finland Welder by Day, and Crazy Inventor by Night

We Say, he is awesome electric motorcycle DIY designer and engineer!

Teemu Saukkio decided to build an electric motorcycle because it gave him more freedom in design. He explains he can do more weird stuff with the electric motor than with gasoline.

almost everything works. everything that didnt got removed XD i need to find better system for cell voltage monitoring and charger control. this celllog monster that i have made didnt like working #diyelectricmotorcycle #diyelectricvehicle #electricmotorcycle #diyev #diylithiumbattery A post shared by Teemu Saukkio (@rmkdoesstuff) on Jul 6, 2017 at 11:02am PDT

He wanted something special designed by himself. He took electric motor because it’s more simple and it has fewer parts that need taking care of and it’s more efficient and ecological.

He only bought wheels, shocks, and brakes. Everything else is designed and built by his hands. He was trying to get 300km of range 30kw and 100Nm, but at the end, he got 17.5kw and 126Nm.

The battery is not in perfect balance (he is using recycled 18650 batteries) so he is missing some power there.He is planning to build the second version in the following months.

Take a look at the build!

Before this build, he built different gas versions

do you like my seat 😀 #electriccaferacer #electricmotorcycle #mpmessut2017 #rmkdoese1 #diyev A post shared by Teemu Saukkio (@rmkdoesstuff) on Jan 12, 2017 at 10:01am PST

Seat Design and motorcycle fitted with all parts

there it is:D rest of the pieces are going to be installed tomorrow. so what do you think:D? good or bad #extremediy #electriccaferacer #electricmotorcycle #diyelectricmotorcycle #diyev #rmkdoese1 #mpmessut2017 A post shared by Teemu Saukkio (@rmkdoesstuff) on Jan 26, 2017 at 9:15am PST

His moto Size compared to popular Zero Motorcycles

had to take a foto. now that i have the chance:D its about the same size compared to zero. 😀 #electricmotorcycle #mpmessut2017 #rmkdoese1 #zeromotorcycles A post shared by Teemu Saukkio (@rmkdoesstuff) on Feb 2, 2017 at 9:11am PST

He even built his Arduino Ev computer Dashboard

a small teaser of what is happening whit e1 at the moment. i cant take credit from this work. becouse i have a helper. huge thanks for him. #arduino #rmkdoese1 #diyelectricmotorcycle #diyev #kesälläkilpiin A post shared by Teemu Saukkio (@rmkdoesstuff) on Feb 24, 2017 at 12:25pm PST

all the menus #diyev #diyelectricmotorcycle #diyelectricvehicle A post shared by Teemu Saukkio (@rmkdoesstuff) on Jun 24, 2017 at 1:09am PDT

He figured he would probably need to cool down the battery

added some fans for battery cells. should keep them cool:D #diyelectricvehicle #diyev #rmkdoese1 #electricmotorcycle A post shared by Teemu Saukkio (@rmkdoesstuff) on Mar 5, 2017 at 6:36am PST

1404 pcs of recycled 18650 battery build !

fuck yes there is a 54p 26s 18650 lithium battery blob. test fitting wersion only. so daam complikated and fancy that i have no idea can i really fabricate it so that it holds together for years XD so just go for it and hooe for the best XD #diyev #diyelectricvehicle #diyelectricmotorcycle #lithiumion #itsgoingtoblow A post shared by Teemu Saukkio (@rmkdoesstuff) on Apr 17, 2017 at 11:11am PDT

Asking smaller engineer for help is a must

Finishing the Battery connections

bloc number one is done. test use and then its ready to go in to the bike?? #electricmotorcycle #diylithiumbattery #diyelectricmotorcycle #diyelectricvehicle #diyev A post shared by Teemu Saukkio (@rmkdoesstuff) on May 31, 2017 at 8:07am PDT

it doesnt only look like its fucking confusing mess of wires. it really is. 200 wire ends. and it speaks something about how little extra space there is. i had to use lube to get my blok 3 to fitXD #diyelectricvehicle #diyev #diyelectricmotorcycle #diylithiumbattery #lubehelps #tightisgood A post shared by Teemu Saukkio (@rmkdoesstuff) on Jun 28, 2017 at 10:34am PDT
