Hi i'm new to motor bikes but have been riding motorcycles since 1968,I'm in Maryland & I'm a service tech for Geek Squad so I'm handy with tools & electronics. I am going to put a motor on a Schwinn Stingray I hope.
Welcome to the forum. With your resume, you should be able to build an awesome electric bike and you can fit a lot of batteries inside the triangle of a chopper frame.
