What Inspired You to Make This?
I have a few e-bikes and wanted to make something completely from scratch that was exactly what I wanted. The Steampunk bike grew in the building of it. The freeze drier was something I wanted and was too cheap to buy it, so I had my shop class build it from other projects and parts and, in the process, learn the principles of vacuum and refrigeration.
