mini

 

This is my daily driver in New Orleans. Goal was to get it as clean as I could, and keep distractions for me and others to a minimum. That meant new spot for the dash, onboard tools, lock and running lights wired into the high voltage circuit instead of on 12v. 

the bike

 

I’ve spent lots of time looking around for quality mini bike frame builders, and I’ve continued to believe in the team at Coast cycles. The base for this build is their Buzzraw frame. And while you can get 18650 (the same size cells in the Tesla S) battery packs from lots of folks, the team at EM3EV has a great product and reliable BMS and wiring expertise.
