$1,700 including the few things I broke and the fancy-pants parts I added to the build (like the 800 lumen LED headlight).

Interesting idea. But I'm just going to go with a short self-retracting coiled cord that extends from 1 foot to 5 feet. It will go in a storage compartment I will be adding soonish.
