Going all out ... You can undo both sides of the elect wheel. The nuts just slide over the cable. best is to also ad a protector,often when the bike falls or is knocked the cable crimps and you get the loose wire issues. pulled many apart. like the idea of the brake arms for wheel locks...

The original ebike had a wire protector, but the body fits so snug over the wheel that I don't think I can put it on this frame.

Thanks guys.
I think I'm going to have fun working on it.

Now. Does anyone know how the lowrider car crowd makes the bumper sparks?

I'm thinking a lever activated thing on the back with a magnesium bar attached.

Maybe.

Where does such a bike body come from?

Macomber fiberglass bodies.
They have a website and sell on ebay, mostly pedal car bodies.
But they have this and one for a trike.

Right.
I've been looking at it for about a year and a half, I finally told my wife I had to buy it.
What a better place to build it up than RRB and the build off.

You should have them donate it to your cause as a sponsorship. Look at all the free exposure you've just given them!

No. Asking for free product from cottage industry craftsmen and artists in return for "exposure" devalues their work. As a part-time artist myself, this is the kind of back-assward thinking that I hear all of the time. I mean, unless @Falstaff 's next big surprise is that he's got a new show on Discovery...

I just let them know about the build and they might get a couple customers.
But ever since the kit arrived, they haven't answered any of my questions. So I don't expect to hear back from them.

And oddly enough., there was some discussion last week about a discovery show. But it'll never happen.

Holy beautiful bicycle Batman .

Nice bro.
Fit finish and color choices could make or break this build. You're artsy, should be ratisfying.

That's a big thing in my head. I have my paint colors, I just hope I can get it as envisioned.
I've been studying a lot, so hopefully it pays off.

A fiberglass body !!! I'd missed that... Awesome

 

[Fv2]

I wanted to put the body and fender on since I've never actually seen it on a bike in person.

Then I wanted to try the two seats I'm thinking of.

The brown one i bought from someone here, the black one I've had for a while. Unfortunately, I can't position the black seat on just yet. But the brown looks good.

And then if you're going for Cadillac style, you need a big steering wheel.

I really try to make all the pics straight.

S'okay, everybody in the office just thinks I have a stiff neck or something now.

 

[The Renaissance Man]

I like the brown saddle.

I like the brown saddle.

Me too, I think it fits the style better.

 

[SoulGarageOH]

Ok everyone, I'm finished with the frame. Which means I'm a lot further in this build than I thought I would be.
So there's only one thing left to do.
