    Starting with low-quality parts and trying to make them go as fast as you can. What could go wrong?

    lol surronster as “California man”.

    Not only did he buy a Bluetooth dongle to interface with the bikes controller, he threw in a $2000 72v battery as well. The 72v battery makes it accelerate even faster but barely.

    And to top it off, he continually has to pour water over the motor because it overheats.

      Sweet. A water cooled electric engine. Could be cool if it doesn’t go horribly wrong, but then again, that’s life. And thank god he swapped out the battery.

        Liquid cooled electric motors are pretty common - but yeah a different thing to just pouring water onto it 😂
