A few months ago we wrote about Ben Nelson's DIY electric motorcycle. It's really a cool bike, especially if you consider that it gets equivalent of 321 miles per gallon and only cost about $2k total. Ben has made two videos about it, the first one (above) talks about how he turned the old Kawasaki into an electric motorcycle and what his experience has been. The second video (below) is kind of a candid camera moment and shows Ben's neighbor's reaction to seeing the electric motorcycle for the first time. Keep up the good work, Ben, and same to all the other ingenious DIYers out there. Via DIY Electric Motorcycle Kicks Butt, Gets 300 eMPG
