With all this talk about electric bikes and now that I drive 30 miles each way to work, I'm thinking about building my own. The problem is I don't know where to start. I figured I'd ask here if anybody looked into this before.
I figure I can take any old street bike (maybe get one with a blown motor) for pretty cheap. As I understand it, you need an electric motor, batteries, and some type of controller to make it all work (plus some other stuff I don't know about). This place has some parts and kits to buy PartsPage.
I could care less what the bike ends up looking like. I just need it to go a minimum of 60 miles on a charge. Acceleration and top speed doesn't need to be crazy but quick enough where I'm not gonna get run over.
Any ideas?
