Theseus didn't have a bike. I doubt he could catch me.LOL. Very cool.
Like the Minotaur on the side.
Better hope you don’t come across somebody riding a Theseus bike.
BOTH! Actually it is amazing how much difference a fairing makes. It made the bike 4 mph faster pedalling or under throttle. Above 10 mph, most of your energy is used to push air out of the way. At 30mph, it is 90%. Imagine if you held an extended umbrella behind you, how much drag it would create. Your body, slightly inclined forward with your arms spread does the same thing. But turn that umbrella around... Also keeps one warmer on cool days, bucks aheadwind, catches a tailwind... I have them on 3 of my bikes.Does that fairing work or just for looks?
Thanks.Pretty cool lookin bike. I Love all the cargo space. I might cut up and refigure the frame a bit to fit a bigger battery though, for my likes.
Ya live in the woods? Streams or ponds nearby with fish? Ya ride in the winter too?
oh boy i have alot of questions so i'll be quiet for a while

I like it! Fairing is a add-on I don't think I have seen before. What did you make it out of?
One can purchase mounts on eBay, and this fairing is 'acrylic polyvinyl chloride thermoplastic' (Kydex). Great stuff, easy to work with, and can be molded with heat from an oven or heat gun. It is also what the side and center panels are made of, the 'bull hoof' toeclips, the glove compartment behind the seat, and assorted fixtures like the dashboard, and clip for the rear light. I have also made fairings from lexan, when I wanted a clear windscreen.I like it! Fairing is a add-on I don't think I have seen before. What did you make it out of?
Yes I believe I have used Kydex before. There are so many wonderful products out there for DIY projects. I'll have to check eBay I never thought of adding a fairing before seeing yours.One can purchase mounts on eBay, and this fairing is 'acrylic polyvinyl chloride thermoplastic' (Kydex).

There are also commercial bike fairings. I had a Zipper fairing (zzipper.com) on my touring bike that I loved. A bit pricey, but I thnk I spent as much trial-and-error engineering this one. Try it. You'll never go back. I don't know why all bikes don't have 'em.Yes I believe I have used Kydex before. There are so many wonderful products out there for DIY projects.

Specs? Hmmm... It started life as a Magnum Payload, but a bull came to me in a dream and said, "Let's invalidate your warranty!"Hey, wild lookin bike what are the specs?
Welcome to our little corner of the internet
Ridiculous, eh? Moonshine, eh? YEP!I'm trying to figure out with my device's screenshot to find out what kind saddle is on that Ridiculous bike. Aye @Steph what is it?
Looks like moonshine ebike to me.
Nice job, cool bike. I totally enjoy looking at bike builds.
Thanks. Me too. The weirder, the better.Nice job, cool bike. I totally enjoy looking at bike builds.
