Despite riding shaft-drive BMWs for the last 44 seasons, I thought it was a strange idea. But now i see how nicely you did it. Quite a sanitary conversion.

Any more pics and gossip, please? Any idea of what scale of batteries would give what scale of speed and range?

I'm thinking of home brew but the obstacles seem pretty terrible. Anything about your situation jet-propelled your conversion?

My final anxiety is getting Nanny-Province Ontario to licence it.

Hope your machine finds a good home. Pity it can't be my garage.
