You're my hero BAH (http://www.bikerubbish.com/bikey/)

Is it wrong that I sold two bikes to finance this project?

Electra Straight 8 (rescued from REI, sitting on sales floor for a couple years):

I think there's a little bit of desire to be like BAH in all of us :D

...nice new ride there :thumb: Funny coincidence, I was looking at one the other day and thinking that it would be a great candidate for an e-bike kit. It'd be a very cool cafe cruiser.... I was daydreaming of lots of chrome and over the top custom stuff like you see on West Coast Choppers.

haha nice! I've got a few other electraxtracycle converts out there. Pics might be popping up soon....

It does take a little bit of tweaking to get it on there, just ask questions as they pop up and I'll be happy to answer them. For that fat rear tire, you will need to crimp the xtracycle a little bit. Don't worry, it still works just fine and is pretty simple to do, but you will need a table clamp...
