The man who goes by Detroit, was selected as an invited builder for the 2022 Born Free show in California later this summer. Rather than going with a traditional custom bike build, he decided to build something to “shake the foundation that you stand on”. The Indian Four was selected as the basis of the build, for a bit of vintage Americana. Detroit then pulled just enough of the engine out to fit an electric motor at the front of the bike. The vintage leather saddlebags hide the requisite batteries to power the whole kit and caboodle. It’s a very interesting package.Indian, nor Detroit himself, give any indication of the bike’s specifications, but judging by the shape and size of the motor, I’d wager that’s a Zero Z-Force motor shoved into that Indian frame. That’s a pretty great way to run a swap, because it’s already set up to power a motorcycle, and while the Zeros are belt driven, it’s a fairly easy thing to swap it over to chain drive.This is a pretty cool thing that I hope we’ll see a lot more of in the future. Vintage bikes are extremely awesome to look at, but are wildly under powered and difficult to find parts for. If you want to go quick and make it fairly easy to do so, just throw an electric motor in it.
