DIY electric bicycle races motorcycles on Laguna Seca! Ebike Liveforphysics!

This is a 100% scratch-built electric bicycle racing against electric motorcycles at the ReFuel Racing event at the world famous Laguna Seca.




The bike did fantastic! I ended up walking away with 3rd place for the racing motorcycles class!

Thank you ReFuel Racing for making this event possible!!!

Big thanks to Paul S. (who did most of the welding and cutting to build the frame)
Big thanks to Biff (Ryan) for getting the motor dialed-in on the dyno. (28hp!!)
Big thanks to Endless-sphere.com forums for giving me inspiration to take Ebikes seriously.
Thank you to Methods (Patrick) for loaning me a 1200amp controller and getting me to try ebikes.
