I can't youtube due to Dial Up... but I was thinking about an electric motorcycle the other day, wondering how it would work to use a shaft drive motorcycle so a longer motor could be used, thus allowing a cheaper motor like a golf cart, or forklift motor to be used, the Honda cx500 or 650 would be perfect, as they are a water cooled engine that tends to leak at the water pump on to the alternator, so they sit till they seize, and are hefty enough for a few batteries.
