What a waste of time and money
Check out this Ninja that sold on eBay :
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...m=290728711018 You could get an electric bike or scooter that would outperform that easily and for less than half the price. I'd also be afraid to lean it over in a corner. He probably sold it real quick after doing all that work because it turned out like crap. And what about the idiot who bought that? |

There is an electric class in land speed racing . It is called Omega . That would be a lot of fun for me to run . I will give him 500 bucks for it.

It's a good effort IMHO... No doubt, it's not perfect, but it isn't that bad either... If I could, I'd build an electric chopper.

Interesting. Hideous, under performing and far too expensive. I still applaud the owner for such an undertaking and being satisfied with the results. I'd like to see him progress it further.

Cool idea, I like the electric bike thing, but a terrible waste of a clean & clear ninja. Should only be done to a bike with a reconstructed title. And the battery rack looks horrible. The other bikes I have seen looked better, I think they should have tried to work the front fairing on it with some air cooling ductwork. Oh, and he could have at least included a fender eliminator.

Juicey looking ride. I wonder if it can be used as a stun gun also.
