| Additional Features | I put in some LED lighting, from a friend at www.cyron.com, changed the tank, painted batteries, and sheet metal, moved a few things around, encased the batteries in Lexan. Still a lot of work to go to make it pretty, but it is a start. I need to change the bars to a better ape, and run all the cables through them. There is a bunch of hardware store bolts that I need to replace with chrome, will probably repaint again in summer. but I am glad to get going. |
| I bought the original "El Chopper ET" from John Bidwell of Bidwell Designs and Clean and Personal Transportation. This is John's original El Chopper ET that he wrote the book on. I now am starting a business that creates custom choppers, and other retro's from electric, check out the website www.blindspotcycles.com. WebPage I have the next two bikes to do, one a cafe cruiser, and the other with drag bars, and a bamboo seat. | |
