I’ve always wanted a G rom. Some dude traded it in at a Harley d ealer so I got to hilariously walk down a line of gigantic dressed- out road kings to the the tiny little red bike at the end and say “I want this one!”
It goes well with my tiny Honda S600. Together they still only take up 2/3rds of a parking space.
Kicking around the idea of installing a CBR300 motor in it so I can have two small Hondas with engines larger than they were ever designed for.
Side note: If you’re ever in the market for a Harley in SoCal, Laidlaw’s HD is awesome people.

You’re on Oppo! Huge fan, been following since the Jalopnik article on your S600 build. Glad the automotive adventures keep going :)

Old news, but I've watched that episode of JLG like... six times.

That’s the proper mindset for sure. How’s the S600 doing? I’ve been researching torque-fill mild hybrid setups and it sounds like the best of both worlds.

I’ve actually de-hybrided the S600. It was a cool project but not really the best for that car: I t added almost 200 pounds and the motor I used was kind of shitty.
I’m currently looking for a tiny car or trike to stick the electric pow ertrain in. I was considering doing something like this with the EMotor:

Not sure how decent the Emotor you have is
is, but have you thought of buying a ‘classic’ electric car like a:

...and modernizing it with your motor / newer batteries
or some such?
