So that's the current status of the bike, here's how it looks: My next steps are to add the length of chain running to the back wheel and pickup some cells to hopefully get the motor spinning.

Reduction gear With almost no fabrication experience this was by far the trickiest piece of work so far. And I'm not sure the current solution will last... I will probably have to rebuild the reduction gear in the future. The current implementation is: Thrust bearing Sprocket 20mm spacer...

Motor bracket Still planning on adding some horizontal bracing to the motor mount but it's fine for now. It's pretty strong.

Cleaning up the frame and priming. This was a mistake to do so early but I was keen to get started and I hadn't figured out the parts I was going to use yet. Swingarm Frame
