I was riding my electric scooter up to school to drop off my wife’s charger for her electric scooter when i was passed by an electric motorcycle.
It was a chopper style frame. The motor/gas tank area was so empty. The whole thing was so quiet. I wish I had my GoPro set up to record while i ride, i really want some pics of the thing. Now i watching videos and reading blogs of building an electric motorcycle.
Has the market for used choppers crashed yet? I see so few millennials on them compared to Gen X and boomers, let alone Gen Z.
I could only hope. From what I have seen in a few hours of searching is no.
Back when I lived in Maryland there were always some great old bikes for cheap. New Mexico very much has a problem with “I know what I’ve got” people trying to milk out every cent.
Helps they don’t take up a whole lot of room in a garage. I’m sure plenty are content to have their bike as a show piece given the sentimentality around them.
Probably won’t happen until they start getting passed down to kids who don’t want them.
This one might be the way to go. 2004 yamaha vstar 1100
Looks like $1050 for the frame, seat, forks, & both wheels.
