How To Build An Electric Cafe Racer For A Small Budget
Published by Cyril Huze

South Carolina husband and wife Ed and Tammy build for fun their own electric motorcycles for a very modest budget. They decided to build an electric Cafe Racer in the style of the Triumphs of the 70′s and starting from a 1978 Honda CB750 costing them only $250 they arrived to finish EV motorcycle featured here. And this very nice couple are nice enough, although in a very amateurish website, to explain to you how they did it and how you could also build yours. So, I will not repeat. Before you bug Ed and Tammy for more advice, just a warning before you are getting started. There is a lot of voltage on an electric bike. Wired incorrectly, these batteries can seriously injure or kill you. Summary explanation at: Juiced Drag Racing

I likey!

I think I found my campus commuter. Especially if they can throw on some pedal looking things so my school thinks it is a moped. That way I can park with the bicycles.

Why did you attach your garage to your kitchen?
