Current Build:
* Using off-the-shelf motors and batteries.
* Wheelset, drivetrain, and brakes are still pending.
* This will provide a good baseline for the project.
* However, anticipate this initial build will have a scooter-like ride similar to most high-end e-bikes.
Future Goals:
* Design a 3D-printed motor shell compatible [with 1-dimensional stiffness layers to preserve rider "feel"] with Shimano E801 motors (preference for Shimano components).
* Potentially integrate an internal hub drivetrain (current build will use SRAM AXS mullet).
Experience:
* Have ridden various high-end e-bikes from brands like Specialized, Trek, Riese & Müller, Stromer, etc. that all feel like scooters over analog bikes
* Riding experience is limited to approximately 30-minute rides at a time.
