Do all dead washing machines visit meet that lonely Maytag repairman within the sky? Nope, some of’em get their guts repurposed to be used in hipster transportation, otherwise called bicycles . No less than that is what one uninterested, frugal Munich denizen did to bypass that German’s city costly PT fees. It isn’t what you’d call a classy hack, as our DIYer’s needed to haphazardly rig up his washer’s 300W motor to the bike’s frame and stuff two clunky 12Ah batteries right into a sidebag off the back tire. Still, it sounds as if to get the job done, spinning at a max of 3000rpms with an ejector button on / off switch affixed to the proper hand brake. We aren’t sure how well or reliably this modjob fares on busy roadways, so in the intervening time we’ll just persist with Vespas. Inspect the video after the break for an unmoving portrait of this eFahrrad .
