      You do have to kind of admire the creativity of building a bike out of plywood ... but as an ex Display/Exhibits guy .. damn it could have been better carpentry!!

        Science project and maybe it works, but give 'em an F for no effort to make it look good.


        Looks like it works but SO DAMN FUGLY!!!

          The electric bike is interesting as a science project as Bill noted. Might even be fun. But yes ugly. Definitely a contender for full bodywork.

            Yeah, if there's one thing a forklift says, it's speed, excitement and, "Breaks over! Back to work!"

              with that rear sprocket, that has to be one high-revving motor on the electric!....and a low torque motor too. Properly, might want a gearbox.

                  If anyone pulls out in front of him, he's going to be singing soprano.

                    There's nothing wrong with a kick starter - as long as it's gaudy as possible.

                    Same goes for the exhaust. And is that a suicide shifter on the other side? I guess the wheel has been reinvented. And a grab rail on the gas tank? The more weight the better...

                    I'm going back to the photo now to search for the clutch.

                        Yep, there's the footpeg, then the pedal for the clutch. Same thing on the right, with the brake.

                          My favourite part is the deer bell/whistle by the right foot peg.
                          Probably an unnecessary add-on as no self respecting deer would allow themselves to be hit by a bike like that.

                                Of course you are right.
                                Don't know why i got them mixed up.

                                Now i will have to amend my post to read that no self-respecting deer and/or Gremlin would allow themselves to be hit by a bike like that.
