... with components sold at any wrecking yard or auto parts store.
My brother has built two "antique-style" motorcycles from parts, using modern braking and ignition components, etc., and even got them registered for his personal street use, which was more trouble than the builds themselves. It's easy to replicate 1910's tech with modern tools, not so easy to work your way through modern licensing requirements, especially when the clerks at the DMV are full of
having never seen such machines before.
We were thinking a custom built electric motorcycle of a similar sort would be awesome. But satisfactory electrical components are still very expensive.
Less expensive electric auto components might also be very useful for off-grid power applications.
