I think the only problem with the plan is that there are so many "off-the-shelf" parts available as it is.
So, it's pretty easy to just buy the parts and bolt them in.
My motorcycle conversion ended up being more than I planned on, but a big part of that was buying NEW:controller, charger, motor(may as well have been new for what I paid for it!) and batteries.
Used/homemade, etc. would have saved plenty of money.
The whole motorcycle conversion cost me right around $2000.
The motorcycle itself was the cheapest part of it! ($100, minus the parts I sold off it!)
Hope that gives people an idea on what these can cost.
