Hey everybody, this site has been very informative and inspirational. I have one electric tricycle from Ampedbikes. Its a japanese tricycle with a tilting frame, I put the amped kit on the front wheel 20 inches, and was very impressed with torque and speed, I removed the rear basket and customized a babyseat with footrests so my wife can sit in the back, the rea seat can support my weight of 170 ish lbs. With my wifes 115 120 lbs and my 170 lbs the ampedkit took us around a 45 mile trip round a local lake up and down hills in about 4 5 hours. Anyway, that is like our touring bike and now I wanted to build something with style and sound.
I've been working on a Belize E-chopper that I order via amazon. Its a chopper frame similar to the small schwinn but bigger in size with a26 inch front wheel ,comes packaged with a 24 inch fat rim, rear wheel hub motor. 48v 12 or 15ah i forgot. Paid 600 to 700 bucks had it shipped to my dads house in california(no ship to japan).
Ive been working on this project for over 2 months awaiting my dad to send the frame.
Heres some links of the stock bike.

My plan is to turn the stock bike into a military chopper inspired by the old WLA harleys from ww2.
So far i have olive drab fenders, two brown panniers, a empty gas tank from a yamaha cycle, a custom fat front wheel (from cycles us), added disc brakes bb5's to both front and rear wheels, refurbished a black cruiser seat with brown leather, and made a custom m1 army bicycle helmet(saving private ryan style)
Also I have a vintage speedometer to mount on the front wheel and on the rear rack I have a mini amp with a speaker box that goes to a stereo system.
I will post pictures and details on the peices, also i may have left some parts out as i have been working on this bike for a while.
And 2 weeks or so till the frame arrives.
