Strip the bike of the front and rear wheel
Remove the brakes, derailleur, and any other components you don't want to get paint on
For paint, we did a white base, gloss black on top, gold splatter, then clear coat over the top.

We used an ammo box to house the controller and wires
We decided to use independent throttles for the front and rear motors

Take a Ride!

It's time for a test ride! Start by using the rear motor only and get familiar with the power. Next, use the front motor throttle to unleash to full torque!
