Greetings,
I came across this group and it sure looked like fun so I decided to join. I worked with elementary, middle school, high school and college over my 35+ years in education. I'm retired now and miss the kids, not most of the administrators. I retired in 2010 after my construction trades program was shut down. A few years ago, I met with a former woodshop teacher friend, now administrator, and we talked about starting a Saturday morning program for middle school kids who like to work with their hands. He wanted the program to dovetail with the school STEM curriculum. I immediately thought of scooters and mini bikes. "Can you help kids build electric mini bikes?" he asked. "Sure", I said....not knowing anything about building one. I asked a friend who is a genius with batteries to help out and off we went. After a few spring and fall, four session Saturday classes under our belts, we sorta have it down enough to the point where kids are asking for more of everything.:thumbsup:
So here's my question....as an old motorhead myself (53 Chevy pick up), is there room in this group for electric vehicle conversions on mini bikes or are you folks purists who only associate with those who smell of gasoline and carbon monoxide?:bowdown:
Be kind to an old man,
