The initial focus was on BMW R types, renowned for their iconic engine design and popularity within the custom scene. However, LM Creations soon realized that there were several engine options suitable for conversions, including Pre-unit drivetrains from brands like BMW, Moto Guzzi, vintage Triumphs, Harley Davidsons, URAL, and various English brands. LM Creations welcomes those interested in converting their Pre-unit motorcycles to EV to reach out for further information. The concept of the conversion may sound simple—removing the combustion components and replacing them with an electric motor—but it involves extensive engineering. LM Creations meticulously designs new castings for the motor housing and battery pack to seamlessly fit the original frame. Additionally, they ensure the incorporation of all the necessary components for functionality and safety.
LM Creations recognizes that the experience of riding a custom or vintage motorcycle is a major part of the enjoyment—feeling the engine’s vibrations, revving it up, accelerating, and turning heads as you cruise around. Thus, they aimed to maintain that excitement while riding an EV motorcycle, preserving elements like shifting gears, revving the engine, experiencing torque, and creating an impressive auditory presence that turns heads.
