I'm looking for something to repower with a new design of BLDC motor and new battery technology. Sorry I can't be more specific other than the motor and batteries are very light with very high torque output.

I ran at speedweek in 07 with a bike frame of my own mfg (featherbed flavored Triumph Trident 750), so now salt fever has me dreaming of going with more wheels and speed. Any leads would be helpful.
Thanks! :-D

When we integrate the new Motor Scooter classes, will they have the same designations as to Pushrod, Production, Partial Streamlining, Vintage, Gas, Fuel, Omega, Altered, Modified, Blown, etc.?  Sidecar classes, too?

Ummm, I'm still looking for a project.
And based on the scta rule book, the body style is unlimited to include lakesters.
What I'm not sure about is if the omega class includes electrics.
Any guidance?

you can run a lakester in the electric vehicle class (code323) if it is electric powered.... but you cannot run an electric powered vehicle in the lakester class

Because electrics have their own class, weight based, and unlimited body you can run anything you want. As the sooothing Kent said, you can't run as a streamliner, lakester, roadster, coupe and on and on.
