(Fwd from Rick)
Here we go, the bike is down to the frame… going to order the electric motor this week…
My buddy Luke built a pretty crazy electric bike.
"Bike is totally scratch built from cro-mo tubing, wire, RC helicopter
batteries, and a car EV controller.

Ordered the motor, controller, contactor, throttle, and battery charger last night. Now looking for scrap steel and any other scrap metal.
I am pretty sure you can stop by the scrapyard next to the hive and but it at cost.
I will be doing that, I have some, but I’m sure I’ll need more
Saw this today and thought of your bike, Rick

Apparently it's a guy's at Purdue who rides it around town pretty
regularly.
