A while back, I made an electric drift trike using a giant starter motor from a caterpillar machine. To my surprise, it worked quite well and since that project I have wondered if a smaller automotive starter motor could work for EV applications.

In this video I build an electric bike using a 1.4kW starter motor and put it to the test.
