DIY Electric Motorcycle Conversion

Marque Cornblatt converted his Honda Rebel "junker" into a fully-functional electric motorcycle using parts he had laying around, which consisted mainly of scrap parts. Video after the jump.
After consulting with some plans available online which required chopping the frame significantly, Gxaoui suggested we figure it out for ourselves. Armed with a basic metal shop, we methodically convert the Honda rebel 250 into a clean quiet bike in about a week.

Brilliant, they should make the same with a car. The damn batteries are still the only problem, how about the ultra capacitors? Surely one part of it can be not-scrap.

Yes I've heard of Tesla, but it has batteries, I want ultra capacitors... Plus Tesla isn't made out of scrap.
