The copper plates are easy enough to machine, but the screw posts must be soldered on with a torch - not too difficult, but takes some time and skill. I really haven't done enough to have a good system worked out, so I can't really accurately quote a price yet(not sure on the time aspect). I plan on making another set for 7s packs soon and will get a better handle on the process the 2nd time around.
snellemin - in all fairness, my bike started life as an electric bike from its inception. Most ebikes are cool, though. I think crossing the lighter weight of bicycles with the motorcycle design cues is the way to go - I want to get a supermoto setup for this bike one day and maybe register it for banging around town(I do occasionally cruise on some streets around and always get rubber-neckers). :)
hippie - I didn't make the bike - I only converted it to its current state. I would like to develop an electric frame in the future, though - something that uses widely available parts, but is purposed for e-power. It won't be this week, though. :)

I know, i was trying to make a joke
. But with your skills you could easily design & build something like that.
