Yes! I love that bike!
What is old is new, again.
I like the way they mounted the motor under the frame.
Today's lithium batteries would fit inside one of the original battery cases.
This mid-frame motor design is still considered to be the best one.
 
I have been designing an electric bicycle for about ten years and will post it after I build it.
The frame will be made out of ultra lightweight all metal alulight aluminum foam panels.
It will also have a Ducati inspired single-sided swingarm.
I'm planing to use Astroflight brushless DC motors, mid frame.
 
The problem with wheel hub motors is that there is a lot of weight punishing the wheel and rider. The motor has to be internally geared and this is a big compromise.
Mid-motor with toothed belt drive is superior and less maintenance and quieter.
Again, what is old is new.
 
Looks like another Waltham Watch Company made badge.

O'Hara Dial Co. They also made badges for Orient as well as watch dials for Waltham Watch Co. They also made enamel advertising items, gas and water meter faces, club/organization/fraternity pins. The building is still standing but derelict unfortunately.
