Ohhh, that's a bit of a story. The "pumpkin" is actually bright red (think Tremclad red) and is finished apart from the rear drop out covers and performing well. My first MPII from Golden Motor lasted for two, twenty minute rides and came to a grinding halt. Turns out a couple of the magnets were not glued down well and rubbed on the stator which cooked the windings. GM Canada took exception to me opening the motor to find out why and threatened to not cover the warrantee because I posted video on Youtube so he could see what the issue was. As I have previously worked as a motor rewinder doing 1/10hp to 100hp electric motors, I felt confident pulling this 'toy' apart. Anyway, after sorting that out Canada Post delivered the new motor a week late (he actually did not end up wanting the old one back) it took a couple of weeks to get the bike finished and rideable, some crappy west coast weather followed and I've been commuting on it since. I'll post some updated pics when I get a chance if the weather cooperates. Thanks for remembering my build.
