I came into this project because a friend showed me a website showing home-built electric vehicles. I thought to myself "hm... I bet I can do that," which is usually the start to many hours of work. With basic knowledge of electrical systems, a lot of reading, and a surprisingly small amount of trial and error, I ended up with a working electric motorcycle and couldn't be happier.
