There is also a brief article on page 9 of the latest (Aug/Sep) issue of
Triumph World on an electric Spit. It is owned a Leni Goldberg of Los

Retaining the clutch and gearbox may make the project more complex,
certainly heavier. A suitable motor might fit in place of the gearbox and
leave more space for batteries.
