E.V. 1

Mix Media
(Steel, 18v Motor, Modified Bike Frame) 
I came across an image of a motorized bicycle with a small engine and a soda bottle for a gas tank. I wondered how that bike might change if it was created in a different context, with different technologies available to create something similar.  


My context is that of home made (EV’s) electric vehicles, motorcycles as wells as other DIY projects. I wanted to redefine an electric bicycle while still keeping it in the realm of the bicycle. By modifying the frame, removing the pedals, and creating a new seat the bike is recreated while still retaining the identity of a bicycle.
