Crash Machine
100 W
This is my first build. I'd like to dedicate it to the guys who've taken their wifes washing machine motor,the batteries out of both cars, and mounted them on their kids BMX bike only to push the whole affair home after a malfunction. It takes pioneers of all kinds.
The inspiration for this bike came after a friend mounted a 49cc honda motor on a Surly Big Dummy and bragged to me about 100 miles a gallon. This was the summer we were paying over 4 dollars a gallon.
The idea was to build a vehicle that would handle any terrain. From pavement to single track. Something to get me from home to the woods without leaving a vehicle behind at a parking area. It's become much more.
The driving force though is to deny the oil companies my hard earned money. Anyone who raises a price when we can least afford is wrong. As wrong as a bear trap in a toilet. So this is my answer. If you don't stand for something you will fall for anything.
