I'm pretty sure I remember an old movie when I was a kid had side hack racing, 'Little Fauss and Big Halsy.' No clip of it on YouTube, but there's one from 'Five the Hard Way.' (AKA 'The Side Hackers.') Just read up on it and they say that's the one realistic looking thing in the movie. (Skip the date after the race, just watch the beginning.)
So I'm trying to think of something interesting enough to bother building; an electric side hack comes to mind. When I was a kid I helped some other kids build one. What rekindled the thought was when I was hiding out earlier I saw someone throwing away two plastic pallets, I found myself thinking of something bigger than a side hack, but I guess still the same thing. By the time I was coming back they were gone, so much for free materials.
Tonight I see this 99media site and some strange short documentaries, including this one on modifying old Vespas in Asia. Oh, to be in a place where they don't enforce street legal. How different would your build be?
