can you describe the motors and batteries better in terms of size and weight? Are the motors going to be splined directly into eachother or what?

So far the only thing that concerns me about this is that you are a total newbie with bikes. Getting a few thousand miles under your belt with that thing could certainly influence your decisions when it comes to how to distribute that weight, placement of items, all those little component selections. Also, that low end torque that the DC motors can put out will be virtually the opposite torque curve of the motor you just pulled out. An entirely different animal. This isn't a bad thing but for bikes it's not ideal, will be harder to keep shiny side up. Not stopping ya, just a warning.. this obviously isn't a touring bike.
