How many of you would consider doing this to our beloved fizzers? (see fzr link below) This guy has a couple videos of his FZR.
I think this is the way of the future, I have considered taking a bike with a blown engine and replacing it with an electric motor and giving it a shot. I know that depending on how you ride will depend on the actual miles you will get on one charge. And thats what sucks about them. I don't know if you guys remember the electric R1 video.

I have looked at different option for this. But this is the first electric bike that I found that used an old fizzer as the donor.

What if gas gets to $7.00 or more, or starts to become scarce. Intresting, the big three will all haev electric cars buy 2011, like the chevy volt. electric and the a small gas motor after the first 40 miles to recharge the system.

Re: electric m
crazy. If only battery technology would advance. Batteries have held us back for so long in so many emerging technologies

Re: electric m
I dont know. With the economy the way it is I would like to have the battery powered bike. Plug it in and no warming it up either would be nice. Lots of benefits from this.
