Howdy GTA riding community!
I grew up riding dirt bikes at the cottage and on trails but never had a motorcycle licence up until a month ago! I live in the city and currently ride an electric bike on my daily commute.
Last year I started a small side project customizing electric bikes to model them after 70s era Honda CBs. Here's a link to the website we made to show off the bike. http://ampedelectricbikes.com/ These bikes are great for inner city riding but since the base model is based off of an "ebike" I'm not really sure what the process would be like to get it registered/legal or if it's even possible. I know there are plenty of ebike haters out there (I get it and agree on most points) but get with the times, electric powered vehicles are really fun to ride and work on.
Since getting my license I have been obsessed with trying to develop a road worthy, highway speed capable electric motorcycle. I have since come to the solution of using a donor motorcycle frame or rolling chassis and to build from the frame out. I'm in the process of gather parts for this build now.
My knowledge is rooted in the electric motors, battery technology and design. I'm am currently looking for someone to help me develop the rolling chassis and to assist with the process of getting the bike safety inspected and registered.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions, suggestions or to talk more about the project. If you know anyone who might be interested, please feel free to pass this message on.
Thanks! See you in the threads or on the road!
