I have some Harley sportsters, and have entertained installing an
electric motor in one.
Regulations over here will or may prevent me from doing do.
Mechanically, there would be nothing to it.
I can or could even make the sprockets for timing belts myself, and
might, on an industrial cnc lathe.
We cannot use one-off bikes without a 6000€ type certification.
It might be possible to do the certs in another country nearby, anything
in the EU would work, legally.
And one might be fun, perhaps.
