hmm i think my summer project this summer will be an electric bike. any advice? im planning on using a 16" frame, chopping it to make a longer wheelbase, the front end would be off a bigger bike so the back would be 16" rim and the front maybe 20". i have a motor from an electric chainsaw that i would try to run on a car battery, would it work on a car battery?

instead im going to keep the frame normal and just rest my legs on stuntbars that will be in the front wheel, get rid of the cranks and just have the sprocket pedaled by a chainsaw and i guess i could make some kind of trigger?
current project status: stripping the frame
