For DIYers with a lot more technical know-how than cash, an Instructables user has put up a really interesting tutorial on building an electric motorcycle using just $3000. The vehicle has a 70mph top speed, but can only go about 10 miles before it needs to be recharged. It’s great for a quick trip to the store, if you don’t make any unexpected stops along the way. With gas prices being what they are, you should probably try to make it so everything you would normally need to get to is less than 10 miles away anyhow.While there are a few different electric motorcycles on the market, most of them are pretty expensive, so if you want to cut your fuel costs and do it cheaply then the best approach might be something like what Stryker did. On a budget of just $3000, he put together a vehicle that has a 70 mph top speed and with a 10 mile range.No gas, no oil and almost silent. 72 Volts 70mph of pure fun.Futher reading here [Instructables via Uberreview]
