I was, at first. A few days before (recently) noticing that in the diagram (which I have had for a couple years, and looked at quite a few times) I had watched a video about electric drift trikes - they're like adult Big Wheels, with plastic rear "wheels" that let it slide, and an hub motor in the large front wheel. They both had that little coil of wire...

I have a little 4.5" diameter (7" long) PM motor that I'm using to get the bike setup, and have done a couple tests at 12v, with an aftermarket automotive starter button as the contactor/controller (ON/OFF). That motor came with 4ft leads (coming directly out of the frame)...
