Hello Jeff!

Maybe you don't have to start from scratch. The eCars Now! -community is
international, and has a functioning internet infrastructure:

http://ecars-now.wikidot.com/

There seems to be a group in the US:

http://ecars-now.wikidot.com/local:start

And, what's best, they have a motorbike-project as well (the main guy,
Henkka Palonen, is really something, you should get in touch with him):

Best,
