Our new App Moto Jam Hillclimber. Picked up on Facebook Marketplace for $1,000. Tried our best to mimic the 70s desert sleds. Removed all hand controls and simplified key setup with Pingel Tether switch. We detabbed the frame, removed passenger peg brackets and made a custom battery box and electronics tray. The unknown exhaust, Speed merchant stator cover, grips and bars came on the bike. Minimalist build featuring:
