Back in August, 2022, YouTube channel Rich Rebuilds first embarked on an electric Harley-Davidson Electra Glide odyssey. They removed the original engine, drivetrain, and fuel tank to make room for their chosen electric motor, controller, batteries, and a new drivetrain. Then, they changed their plans slightly to incorporate a belt drive instead of following their original intention, just because a commenter suggested it.
In mid-September, 2022, Rich and his team posted their most recent update on how the project is going. Previously, they’d mocked up a tubular framework to go around the motor and batteries, using cardboard paper towel and similar tubes to work as a template. (Cardboard-aided design, or CAD, works wonders in many a DIY workshop.)
