Honestly, I have to respect a couple of guys putting together a project bike, showing their work, and making pretty clear descriptions of what you could get them to repeat. Maybe they just want to get hired to do work like this for a larger outfit.

I wish the best of luck to this builder and hope to see a successful bike! Although, it's not likely in my mind to see this enter any kind of mass production.

*edit* Oh is that the 3.3kW Elcon charging module same as the digiNow Supercharger?
