Inverters and drivers are so tightly integrated, it's out of reach for hobbyist, you'd have to be a full on EE to build one.

Yeah, Sell this shit to random people and there will be dead bodies and lawsuits.

I love working on my car but a day will come very soon when I'll need to love working on my bike instead.

The high voltage stuff can stay out of my reach until I'm ready, but I at least want to be able to do a TPMS relearn and brake pad/rotor maintenance without needing to plug anything into the OBDII port.
