So looking like the project is coming to an end. Couple minor things to do. Have ordered this voltmeter of ebay: Still need to make aluminium lid and a hatch for charging cable compartment, fit the voltmeter and front fender. Here are some photos:
looks great, but I just noticed you never braced that back post (where the coil-over attaches). Point a video camera at that part, then hit a bump and see how much deflection you get. I'm still concerned that is going to bend. Perhaps you can make a bolt-on brace if you didn't want to ruin the nice paint-job... ?
Hi. Thanks for advice, and i did thought about it. Thing is 100+kg man was riding it half a mile on rough road and it was ok. Now my wife is 56kg which this bike is meant for so i am pretty confident, even me at 65kg feels solid
Here are some photos of finished scooter, i have done minor adjustments after to front fender, and still waiting on voltmeter which will go under ignition key.
Great Job Bro. Turned out real professional lookin'. Monitor that seat post/batt. box joint for awhile. Lots of inspiration to be had in this build. Enjoy.
Thanx mate, glad you find something useful. Next, full scale production full suspension 70kmh cargo bike with recumbent seat and changeable base. But that wil be next year. First building a proper workshop and fitting new equipment, hopefully ESAB TIG in spring 2013.
Will be upgrading mosfets on the controller and heatsinking the controller to the outside. Fill fit thermo switch on the fets to disconnect the controller at 80C and further upgrade the shunt. The battery pack will get upgrade with A123 kit scraping prototype and all wiring sorted.
