Hi All,
Ignoring all common sense and the remonstrations of my local bike mechanic, I converted a beach cruiser to electric. Before and after pics attached. I call it the "bad ideas" build because when I took it into the bike shop and told the mechanic what I had planned, they said "ok, you have several bad ideas going here". Lol. As I learned, they were right on a lot of counts, but not all. Below are the basic specs. I have found it to be a blast to bomb around on! Though, the fear it may fly apart at any moment probably adds to the exhilaration.
Bafang BBSHD 1000w
52v 20Ah battery
Chopper style fork
Front disk brake
Layback seat
I'll post a thread of the build at some point.
