Interesting conversion. Sounds like an ideal errand runner for around town. And no pipes to rust out or polish. I do wonder at the decision to put the batteries up high in the top box when the side cases would allow for a much lower center of gravity and easier handling around town. But what do I know???? Maybe if there were pics of the battery packs it would offer more info to my ramblings.
Still not convinced that electric vehicles are the future in any big way but they sure make some folks feel good to drive them. What we really need are vehicles that run on polluted air to balance out the vehicles that pollute the air. At present the modern gas burning engines are nearly pollution free and have fantastic economy compared to even 2 decades ago. Gas powered vehicles, whether bikes or cages give us a level of independence that an electric vehicle can never match. Hybrids are close but no cigar in my books because of the cost and carbon footprint.
