Converted a 1985 Honda 700 Interceptor to DC motor electric vehicle.

Bike was fun to ride, but severely limited in range with the lead acid batteries. Lead acid batteries suffer greatly with reduced capacity at high discharge rates, lithium batteries retain much more energy at high discharge rates.
