This project was the first time I have done ANYTHING like this. I was going for simple and inexpensive.

A motorcycle could be designed with a brushless motor, very fancy battery packs, and regenerative braking.

The best part about a system like this is that it's all modular. If I wanted to, it would be easy to change out a motor or controller, or upgrade to a much more expensive battery pack.
