A guy on Craigslists has found a rare electric cycle
either converted or manufactured sometime in the late
60's or early 70's. He wants to find some more info
on it but cant. So is there any older EV members that
might know something about this bike?

Craigslist Ad reads:

<<I'm looking for any information on the electric
motorcycle you see in the picture. Research over the
past 6 years has revealed it was built somewhere in
the late 1960s. It had remained in a garage in
Oakland, Calif., USA., for many years.
When I purchased the bike in the late 90s from the
person who took it out of the Oakland storage in the
late 70s, it had Noack batteries installed. Further
research with the Varta Battery Company (formerly
Noack) in Sweden gave me very little information as to
its origin.
An inquiry was put in the Classic Motorcycle Magazine
(England) in 2002. No substantial feedback was
received.
The bike is partly Yamaha and partly Honda (1969 CB750
four (CB750KO)) according to the man who did
maintenance on the brakes. The rest of the bike is
unique to it.
I do not plan to keep the bike, but would like to have
as much information as I can. Its origin is a mystery
so far. The bike is located in Torrance, California,
USA, but please contact me through Craigs list.
