>didnt you say you originally wanted to make it electric? what was the hang up on that?
I fried three brushed motors before deciding I didn't want to burn more money on a brushless outrunner setup. Here's a pic of it prior to this reincarnation.
>>also what pitbike frame is it?
X-motos XB-35

>>You've inspired me to do something similar OP!
Great.
>>I want to build an electric moped. I've decided I'm going to go to the local DVLA and find out about SVAs for mopeds, so I know what specs I need to stick to.
Electric conversions get expensive pretty quickly. I tried to build one in this frame a couple years ago and had difficulty selecting an affordable motor and batteries that could get me what I wanted.
You will probably have to spend more money on batteries than I have spent to completely build my gas-powered bike.
