This is my 1976 Honda CB 550 that i converted to electric. I took an old Raymond model 20 fork truck and used the guts for my motorcycle. This is photo video of building the bike, there will be more to come. After turning in the scrap from the forktruck, I spent $15.61 as of right now, including the cost of new tires. It covered the cost of almost everything I bought to make this project happen… “voltzilla” is its name, thanks rob for the name … How did u get voltzilla out of killacycle? Haha LOL yahoo its a ForkenCycle
Google Voltzilla for more info!

People use the term …
People use the term electric motor too loosely. There are vastly different types of electric motors with very different sets of torque curves. If you mean flat torque curve then this simply means that if a load that is constant torque in nature needs the same torque at all speeds then the motor can provide it. It does not mean that is what the torque of the motor is. If you need a visual of what am I trying to say then let me know.
do you honestly …

It just depends on what you are trying to do. if you like to build stuff and want to build something from scratch like i did. if you find some free/cheep stuff cool. if you want something just to mess around with you probably be better off just buying a complete bike… What is your goal with the bike?

hello, i was considering buying a very old disused bike, maybe the Yamaha YZF-R6 using the chassis and buying and fitting the parts separately myself, would this be more expensive than just buying the bike in the first place?
