A few years ago, I converted my 30-plus-year-old mountain bike to electric (eBike Build), a really fun project!

Because my battery holder design looked like a giant capacitor, I added a ‘Flux Capacitor‘ decal to each side, a nod to a classic 1980’s movie. Do you know which movie it is?

Recently, I went to a classic movie night, you guessed it, I saw “Back To The Future.” They even had a Delorean outside the theater for pictures – a very cool car! This old guy asked me take his picture for him, which I did. The show was packed, and it’s still a Great movie!

After the movie, it dawned on me that my bike had an energy storage device (battery), but not a Flux Capacitor. I wondered if they might make a small, movie prop Flux Capacitor. A quick search, and behold… a 3 inch Flux Capacitor, complete with light and sound. Perfect! I bought one.

After some thought on the best place to mount it on the bike… well, it looked fabulous. Now, when I ride down the street, the bike really turns heads, especially at dusk!

If they show the movie next year at classic night, I think I’ll put on a gray wig, a white lab coat, and park my bike right next to the Delorean.

Imagine, a time traveling car and bike together. “Great Scott Marty!“
