    An Indigogo electric bike campaign… 10 years ago. It was a scam and I lost a lot of money. Subsequently I have built 5 e-bikes on my own and do not regret it, they are wonderful. But, no crowd-funding for me, ever again. Also, I am anti pre-ordering anything in general.

      Do you have any resources on how you built said five bikes? I would love to work on something like that this spring

        Sure! It has been a couple years since my last build, but I found a lot of great information on a website called endless-sphere. I also only use a battery supplier called EM3EV - they fuse each cell and generally have great quality packs. Bikes-direct also has quality bike platforms for builds, including fat tire bikes.
