 BS performance specs in most regards. And IF you could approach 157 mph on a chopper you would die from a spectacular high side! Spread eagle ergos at that speed would also be quite the experience!

Range and speed claims aside, I have to admit this looks like the best-documented project e-bike I've seen in a while.

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.

The tilde ~ used on range and speed figures infers these are a gross estimate of what may be possible.

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?
