I think I would start with a cheap electric bicycle as a donor, then upgrade batteries, motor and controller as necessary. This guy was looking to create an electric scooter that wouldn't exceed 35mph, so he could ride it without registration. Where I live, you can't exceed 20mph on one, so it would be easy. The transition to full-on electric motocross would be much more difficult.
I read the entire thread, and I was intrigued by his thoughts of using a hub motor on the front for battery regeneration. I think that's brilliant! :idea:
