The Concept

My original plan was to find a shaft-driven bike and strap the biggest DC motor I could find to it, but with a chain-driven bike plopped into my lap I had to reconsider.  This is one of the concept sketches I made early on, which introduces the cafe racer style that I will inevitably be aiming for.  The big cylinder at the bottom is the motor and the vertical slats in the middle are the battery packs.  Both the motor and battery configuration had to change dramatically.
