BE-Bike - The project starts NOW - Turnigy 130KV Brushless

[JAILBIRD]

This is a cool project. One of the guys has a converted mtn. bike at my LHS. He was saying he has something like 600mi on it, using a hub style motor. He has been having problems with broken spokes. I'm not sure if that is poor maintainence though.

I have a line on a Honda Rucus scooter with a bad motor for a BL project. We'll have to see it that pans out though. I'll be watching this.
