This is an all electric motorcycle that I built in my garage over the span of 6-8 months. The first couple months were concentrated on tearing the original bike apart, researching the electric propulsion equipment and planning all of the necessary frame modifications. I worked on this bike on a very part-time basis as I am currently enrolled as a full time college student. The actual build process started in late July and lasted through November.
