| The bike is almost done. All battery connections are in. I tried charging but I will need regulators or 10 individual chargers. The motor rotates easily at 12vdc. I can turn over the motor with my fingertips & that rotates the back tire. Honda machining is very good. As the rear tire turns over so easily even while it is on the ground I'm hoping this bike will really scoot at 120v and 400 amps. | |
