Vehicle1973 Auranthetic Charger
Found this little gem while buying a Tote Goat mini bike. Bike has been in dry storage for many years, she is in good condition. Owner said batteries are gone, but I'm going to charge them anyway to see if there is any life.

On a side note, I am building an electric Honda 500 Shadow with a direct shaft drive, no chain. My Advanced DC K91-4003 motor arrived just yesterday (8.26.08).
MotorKDB Permanent Magnet DC
KDB Permanent Magnet 1 HP 24 Volt
DrivetrainChain drive with a KDB Permanent Magnet 1 HP 24 Volt motor
Controller
Whatever Auranthetic uses, I suspect it's a solenoid setup using one then two batteries.

System Voltage24 Volts
ChargerSoneil Soneil 1206S
10/05/08 Added a pair of Soneil Superchargers to better take care of the batteries.

Original charger (Transformer & pair of Diodes) would cook the batteries. You could hear them boiling in the morning !

InstrumentationCheapo ammeter
Top Speed25 MPH (40 KPH)
per online info I have found

Again this is from Auranthetic documentation, sound way too high.

Conversion CostCan't say, wife might find out ;-)
I'm very interested in any information other may have about the Auranthetic Charger. Plan to restore and add a modern controller.

Here is a nice web page about the Auranthetic Charger electric motorcycle:
