If I needed to go smaller and lighter for short distance commuting
and errands the EX250 would work well at 48 volts with an Etek
mounted on the swing arm aka El Ninja style.
Tony G is building just such an EX250. Check the blogs - he's just
getting going.
Either of these would pretty stra
In my mind the ideal frame size for a smaller rider is the Kawasaki EX500
Ninja. Mine has low seat height and more than enough room for batteries. Your
very short commute might allow you to get by with less than 72 volts reducing
weight. Mine is really easy to handle at ~540#s, but I am an ex

No, I still have the FJ and am still refining it and playing with controller settings to find the right range/ power combination. It is a dang cool bike. I let some guys at the local bike shop ride it yesterday and you should have seen the grin on their faces. Priceless. It is still for sale as

hm transfer all the electrics and racks onto that frame yeah or
something along those lines. But they want like 2k for the salvaged
one that will never run again ugh.
You mean your DMV wants 2k or the people selling junked frames?
Either way it's crazy! If it's the latter buy one off ebay. T
That might not be a bad idea. I remember I was having a problem finding a suitable donor for my commute along hte lines of a helix but my wifes is soo short it just needs to be speedy for such a short time. The trick is to find one that isn't complete junk. And since no one would be caught dead on
Which means the 1984 Yamaha FJ1100 for sale in the evalbum is
probably too big also.
Anyone know anything commercially available that just didn't fit
because the range was so short? Those 35mph scooters just aren't
going to cut it.
I think Garret sold it. Is that right Garret?

My wife works about 1.4 miles from our house. I'd say it is 1 mile at 30mph and .4 miles at 55mph. She has been walking or riding but there are no safe roads to walk/ride because of how the roads are just wide enough for a car and then drop off into a ditch or fencing. I do have my honda shadow th
