Step 3 Removing the Motor Mounts

The frame requires some modification to accomodate the AC motor and batteries. Fortunately, this metal work is fairly simple. ( the plans suggest "chopping" the frame and extending it by several inches to accomodate all the batteries, but we decide to keep the original frame dimensions and distribute all the batteries around the bike. Two batteries will go into the engine compartment, but two others will ride on the back of the bike, like saddlebags.

Using a combination of 4" angle grinder and Sawzall, remove the existing motor mounts points and tabs.
