Final approvals, Registration and Insurance completed.

Having reached practical completion of the EV conversion, the final step is to locate an engineer who can certify all the work done on the bike and submit the necessary forms to TMR for approval.

I reached out to a local EV conversion business, Traction EV, and they connected me with Jeff Barker Engineering. Jeff was able to use the Engineering Report from Nippon Performance, along with all my build information and photos, to ensure that all the work done complied with the relevant codes of practice and regulations.

Unfortunately for those interested in this build, you'll need to find a different engineer since Jeff is retiring soon. However, if you reach out to local EV conversion businesses in your area, they might be able to offer some recommendations.

Jeff collated all the information and submitted it to TMR for review and approval along with the Certificate of Modification shown below.

We received approval from TMR within a few weeks, and the bike was ready for the next phase. We were provided with a Vehicle Modification Approval document from TMR, and Jeff engraved the new modification plate, which is affixed under the passenger's seat.

It is advisable to always carry a copy of the Vehicle Modification document with you, as modification plates can be forged, and the Police may request to see it.

The last step of the process was the simplest. I arranged for a mobile roadworthy certificate, eliminating the need to transport the bike. Once I received the certificate, I simply took the Modification Documentation and the Road Worthy documentation to TMR, and the bike was officially registered for on-road use.

Along with installing the new number plate on the back of the bike, I have also affixed an EV label to the plate, as mandated by law now that it is officially classified as an Electric Vehicle.

I've insured the bike with Shannon's Insurance, so I can now start testing it.
