Step 2: Ignore the Electronics (Initially)
Because Brad Graham is an electrical engineer, the first third of the book obsesses over Ohm's law and soldering. If you are building a chopper, skip to the fabrication chapters first. Come back to the scooter motor controllers later. , a leading hub for custom bicycle building
- Project-Based Learning: The content is divided into specific "projects" rather than chapters. Each project has a clear objective, a list of required parts, and step-by-step instructions.
- Tone: The writing style is informal, humorous, and encouraging. It treats the reader as a "Genius" capable of complex builds, even if they are a beginner.
- Visuals: It relies heavily on illustrations, schematic diagrams, and photographs to guide the builder, rather than walls of text.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Is the PDF still relevant in 2025?
A: Absolutely. While the battery technology mentioned (SLA vs. Lithium) is dated, the welding, frame geometry, and mechanical linkage principles are eternal. You can simply replace the lead-acid batteries with LiFePO4.
Electrical & Controls
- Always include a main fuse or circuit breaker between battery and controller.
- Use correct wire gauge for current (e.g., 50 A peak → 6–8 AWG).
- Secure connectors, use shrink tubing, and isolate high-voltage lines.
- Implement fail-safes: kill switch, brake cutoffs for throttle, and temperature monitoring.
