   Knowing that a a lot of you nerds have 1-2 weeks ahead with not much to do, I’m gonna leave a question here:

   How are we doing on finally building that open source e-bike? 🙂

   Any takers?

     @slothrop count me in. I have some (limited) BikeCAD experience and am happy to help out with designs and sizing if I can raise the money to get a full license at some point. Also building experience and can braze a test frame when we get there.

     @slothrop
     The problem is not to build one, but the be legally liable if you build one - at least i think so.

     @slothrop
     If you plan to use it in the open traffic, you are some part liable, at least in germany.
     Even if used non-commercially. Even when you don't need a license plate.

     @slothrop If you want a list of what not to do, I’m up to my neck in reverse engineering VanMoof component communications.

     I am very interested in following this thread, though.
