Hey I've seen your site and would hardly call it crappy. Cool design, good pics & info.

Feel like posting a dedicated thread about your bike here? You don't have to reproduce your blog - but give us a quick 'n' dirty run down? & post a link to the blog, of course.

I'd be curious to find out more about your riding impressions. How many miles so far? When's the last time you rode it? Did you create an EV Album entry for it yet?

And, yeah, that Craigslist listing was mine too. I did find a guy with a junked out forklift in his garage. It is about 10" diameter 48 Volt.
A 10 inch motor is pretty big for a small car. If it's cheap, that's another matter altogether. But you need to make sure its diameter isn't so large that it will create clearance problems for the right side driveshaft on a Metro conversion.
