EV Channels Review
This episode of Rich Rebuilds chronicles the challenging, and often frustrating, process of converting an electric motorcycle into a rat rod. The host openly admits to a lack of clear direction and highlights significant hurdles, particularly with the braking system. Sourcing parts for the vintage Corvair front brakes proves difficult, leading to a leaking wheel cylinder and a master cylinder that required custom fabrication of brake lines. The episode also details the installation of hydro-dipped seats and a carbon fiber wing. A major setback occurs when the motor coupler, apparently warped due to imprecise alignment, fails. The host decides to seek professional help, opting for a 3D-printed metal coupler in the next installment, acknowledging the need for precision over eyeballing critical components. The video also features a sponsorship segment for Skillshare.
