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.

That's wild. Really appreciate the info. The last step of my conversion was gutting it and making it all electric.... Already did that, now I can't really take it anywhere.... Bad planning on my part.

Blah, that's what I figured. The loophole still exists, I sent in the forms and they said I needed the dirtbike conversion form filled out first.
Bikes in my state are like "Do the lights work? Honk the horn. You're good". It's worse up there?

In my state, I can't legally purchase a vehicle without a title. No exceptions. No title, no registration, can't insure it, etc.
In Vermont, you can register any vehicle older than 15 years old with just a bill of sale. No title necessary. Once you do that, a lot of states accept the Vermont registration and let you transfer that to your state, which will automatically get you a legit new title.
