| Conversion Cost | $1400. Thanks to Cloud Racing, and my own labor |
| Chain Drive a little more noise than I would have liked. But the Belt-Drive and sprocket option would have been hard to integrate into the rear suspension. Gas Scooters all come with integrated/Engine/CV transmission to the rear wheel. All of that had to be removed, and New Rear Swing Arms Fabricated.
