Taking the idea of flexible adjustment points further, I sketched this the other day: 2 different motorcycle styles we could make with a Flexible Box frame. A MX configuration above, for riding trails and racing on the weekend, and a Scooter configuration, for zooming to the beach or taking the girlfriend to the movies.

I don't know yet how massive the Box module should be to handle all torsion going on while riding...we will need some engineering anyway in the future =)

Feedback plz...

I started looking closer to electronic suppliers, researching prices and availability. I bumped into Golden Motor, which supplies electric motors, batteries, controllers etc... as stand alone parts or Kits. What made me like them from the beginning is the fact of the availability of technical drawings, making it easier for us to design our e.Moped around their components.

We will need help later on defining which model of hub motor,battery,controller should we start with...anyone?

I leave here my excitement about suppliers that make available technical drawings for DIYers like us!

Just for fun, a frame concept with a fixed Battery/Controller Box where everything else attaches to. Box shall be designed in such way to enable any battery/electronics to be used. We would start with a hub motor to keep things simple. Fitting a pedal crankset would be awesome as well, leaving the rider with the option to pedal home when battery dies.
