PROJECT MAYHEM
ELF-UAV MKII
(Electric Lunatic Fringe – Urban Assault Vehicle)
So I have been trying to build an army of Space Monkeys but it is hard to get the kids hooked on ebike crack when they look at me and they see a clown.
Sure I am all geared up with a motor cycle jacket, gloves, and a full face helmet but. . .
I am riding a cruiser bike.
Total buzz kill.

(Now I think this looks cool but I am a total geek
I would roll down to the skate park to try to convince those rotten little space monkeys that they wanted to build electric instead of those loud, obnoxious, tuned-pipe-having, weed-wacker street scooters that they so enjoy riding at 2AM. You can hear these things from 6 miles away and they only go about 15mph so you get to hear them for a looooooonnnnnnggggggg timmmmmmmeeeeeeeeeee.........
Sure after I accelerate to 45mph in like 7 seconds they are impressed but I dont enjoy having to risk my teeth just to convince people that my bike is bad-ass and they should build one.
So first I tried to polishing a turd. I figured that maybe if I spiffied up my starship then maybe people would stop staring at me like I was wearing a helmet because I rode the short bus.
(No really. . . People stare at me like I am a total douche when I am wearing my gear)
I reconfigured my packs and made a nice tight package

Ok, so this looked better
Trouble is that no matter where I rode I could hear the same grumbles. . .
(Why is that guy wearing all that gear on a beach cruiser? Is he “special†or something?)
So there was that. . .
Then there was the fact that in 2 months I put 760 miles on that cruiser frame and it was starting to show it. So was my back. . . No suspension what so ever.
