ESET E-Bike Version 2

Now that our proof of concept motorcycle is nearing completion my thoughts are on version 2. Something based on a newer motorcycle chassis, with increased performance to go along with its looks. The motorcycle would be used to promote the Electronic Systems Engineering Technology Program as well as the other programs that lend their expertise to the project. It would also be a great learning exercise for students and instructors at SIAST Kelsey Campus. As well as a test bed for future controls and automation projects.
But to get started I need to find a motorcycle chassis that fits the design requirements...
So some time was spent searching for a free, late model sport bike with no luck. Which was expected as the free part is a bit of a sticking point. But it is required when you have great ideas but a limited budget.
So I will keep looking...
