OK, Big ES Brains. Situation is high-speed wheelchair (recumbent trike) unable to bring indoors re wintertime warmth. I (Yah, me twit) forgot to wrap brake handle so now battling approx. 4ft. long frozen brake cable from handbrake to brake on front wheel. (Yah, No back brakes yet. Possible "safety feature" after a few "successful" high-speed brake tests w/immediate sideways rollovers - have scrapes and bruises to prove this "works great".
So currently trying stuff including hot water (only on plastic/outside of cable, silly!), and hot oil (WD40) dribbled down both ends of inside wire cable.
But occurs to me inside wire and wire cable itself otta warm up nicely with a little bit of electricity. Watts up with this idea, please? (No 120V access currently (Ebiker joke). Bettery pack can supply 48V, so lets play! Anybuddy here?
