The Vanguard Hybrid

This is my custom electric bicycle. It's a 26" stretch cruiser with a triple T chopper fork. The engine is a skywhawk 48 volt 600 watt front drive brushless engine. 4 SLA batteries and the controller are located in the rear custom mounted leather saddle bags. The graphics are hand painted by Retna. On the dashboard: Leather grips, throttle with power indicator, dual rearview mirrors, Airzound horn, iPod mount, digital speedometer, brake w/engine kill switch. With all the weight, it tops out at about 21.2 MPH and about a 15-17 mile distance on a charge. I'm planning a NiMH upgrade with 72 volts soon and expect the bike to top 30MPH+
