My knees have been killing me so I decided to build an elec car show cruiser! It'll have a 16" rear tire! The front tire is a 12" gearless elec hub motor! Gonna chop & rake the front forks, shorten the height, get rid of the petals & maybe add body panels Mad Max style!

Glad you got a thread going on this. I've been toying with some ideas using an electric hub too. Do you have any info on that hub you can share?
 
I don’t have bad knees just tired of walking:D
How ever I’m an engine fan:rolleyes:
Started this last week.
As they say “great mines” [P

Now that I have my work for Mrs Tripper behind me, my focus has returned to my bike! Gastrick's son came to the Lonestar Round this year & we had a good time getting to know each other! When he saw I was building this bike he offered to give me this springer front end that was hanging on his dadd's shop wall. I ordered a 16" gearless hub for motivation, a battery pack & controller today & will be working on the frame until that stuff gets here!

Got the forks welded on the frame & the integrated electric hub motor came in this week! More frame slicing & dicing & electronics & battery pack coming up shortly! Scouring the interwebs for a killer seat as we speak!
