Check out my new ride

It features a weatherproof battery box in the frame for superior handling. The box is forced air cooled via pvc pipes angled to make them rainproof. Inside the main box is a charger for on the go charging.

On top is lock box that has all the switches and controls. It even has a cigarette lighter for charging my phone!

Finally I got a cycle analyst; the de facto dashboard for light electric vehicles. It's a fuel gauge, speedometer, odometer, with advanced speed and power limting functions, and much much more.





The light is a automotive fog light I painted. With a 50watt spot bulb in it I always look like a motorcycle.
