My bike is a pretty high risk bike too, and I have full coverage. 470$/month for 7 months starting in march. My first year is going to be 3300$ in insurance, february 2015->feb 2016.

I got my G in august of 2014, Have had my driver's license for like, ~5 years at this point. I'm not sure if you're male/female, but to give you a bit of perspective. Tops 3500(but there's barely any in the 3500$ worth range). If you're looking to just buy/sell something and move up after the first riding season, buy used. Look into other bikes, what specifically drew you to that? Find the things you liked in the grom in other bikes.

Plus your M1 expires after 90 days if you didn't know that and already got it. You don't even have to be insured for that year iirc. Once you've had it for a year your insurance rates plummet. But I'm a bit of a crazy person and I have heated gloves. I rode till the big snowstorm in mid january. Southern ontario's riding season is pretty dependent on weather. Used bikes like these trade hands like crazy anyways, you also have the CBR125r available as an option if you're really serious about having the least amount of oomph available to you. Groms are cool, but they won't be that great to ride on a daily basis, they're more of a toy than practical(in my opinion). You really shouldn't be limiting yourself to a grom. Try phoning around, but yeah.Īs for your bike, have you considered a cbr125r? To be honest with you any of the 250/300cc i2 bikes are light enough and not powerful enough to get you into trouble. TD insurance is probably going to be your best bet. RBC said I needed 3 years of experience on a bike for them to insure me. I tried state farm, the girl said they wouldn't insure me until I have my M, but said she'd try to make up a quote for me to get me a feel for it. He came back saying it's a cute bike (ouch) and that they wouldn't insure it due to "High risk", it's not really classified as anything, etc. When I told the guy at TD which model I was looking at, he had to put me on hold to search what it was etc.Haven't really looked into other bikes, only considered the grom, but if it's a no go, a car would be the smarter decision for me.Also gets me experience as being insured on a motorcycle Also, it would be great building my confidence, and a hell of a lot of fun to drive around town. First bike, I figured low cc would mean cheap insurance, plus it's only $3200 new.Stolen bikes belong in local subreddits.They’ve already unveiled a few concepts, including an electric version of the Honda CRF450 earlier this year.Chat on Discord Showing off Bikes or Gear?

More on that to follow here on Electrek soon, so keep checking back! I’ll be replacing the original gas engine with a 5 kW rear hub motor from EM3EV and a 72 V DC battery system. It’s a 1969 Honda Sports Cub with a 50cc engine.
I’m personally working on my own Honda motorcycle electric conversion, though my bike is a bit different. Not too shabby!Ĭheck out the video of the shakedown run below. That means the electric conversion increased the Grom’s power by around 600%. Keep in mind that a stock Honda Grom is pushing somewhere closer to 8 hp (6 kW). With 40+ kW of power, the team might have felt more comfortable with the chain kit on this conversion. On our own small-wheel Grom-styled electric motorcycle, the $2,495 CSC City Slicker electric motorcycle, a belt and pulley on the rear wheel offer nice torque without the extreme chain noise of this electric Honda Grom. Notice the giant sprocket on the rear wheel as well, which could almost double as a run-flat! While this was just the maiden run, the team is already looking at a larger rear tire to give more room on left turns and allow the bike to scrape peg before chain. The Alta Redshift’s motor, controller and batteries had to be modified to integrate into the Honda Grom, including custom fabrication for the unique sprocket splines at the motor. Alta was a popular California-based electric dirt bike company t hat tragically shuttered operations last year amid financial difficulties. In place of the standard 125cc Honda engine, the Grom was gifted a power train from an Alta Motors Redshift electric motorcycle. How do you turn Honda’s cute little 125cc Grom motorcycle into a race bike? By dumping the engine and swapping in an electric motor and batteries, of course! Check out the aptly-named Electrobraap channel as they take an electric Honda Grom for its maiden ride.Įlectrobraap, a moto-vlogging channel on YouTube, recently featured a custom Honda Grom electric conversion.
