My friends e-bike build

[motorpsycho]

A friend of mine introduced me to Mathew shumaker out of Island Lake Il.
Here is an e-bike that he is buiding in his tiny shop.
It's a recumbent bike (which i don't care for) but his drive line is incredibly engineered, and he made the majority of the parts himself.
you want an e-bike that doesn't weight 100 lbs. and that is capable of going 55+ mph?
go check this out.

Yeah, he posted his build log here, under the handle recumpense, if I remember correctly. He does outstanding work.
