If you can trailer it here, the Daily Rider in Burlington might be willing to inspect it for you...they like all kinds of weird bikes, and I mean that in the best possible way.

So you took an old dirt bike, made it electric and street legal? Sounds pretty cool. What did you start with? I liked the video Ryan F9 did on electrifying a little 70's Suzuki dirt bike.

I'm pretty happy with the results. I'm a software engineer by trade and just like playing with things and learning how they work.

The battery will be replaced with something less fragile. I built the pack and encased it with wood and some plexiglass

This was a 1971 DKW Enduro 125.

Very cool! I like some of those oddball bikes, like those funky leading link forks!

Hope ya can get it sorted, looks like a fun bomb-around-the-city kinda project.
