I don't know about a Tesla but I saw my first Nevco Gizmo at the EV Awareness Day five years ago. Fell in love with it at first sight. Took seveal years but I own a year 2000 model now. Number nineteen. I would enjoy attending again. It all depends on my work schedule. Bill

Saturday is the bigger of the two days in my opinion. Gates open at ~8:00am. First race last year began around 11:00am. I looked for a race schedule for this year but it has yet to be posted. The HPC is in less than two weeks and the website isn't finished, Wow! Looking forward to seeing your...

Phil, would you be able to bring your Twike by Portland International Raceway (PIR) on Memorial Day weekend (May 28-29th). Many of us at OHPV and in the HPV world would enjoy seeing it. Might be a few other veolomobiles showing up. I'm debating on whether I bring mine or not. Bill

I had a great time. Many thanks to Greenerwheels and Neptronix for you work. Thanks Steve for the use of your chair. I'll need to bring one myself next time. Bill

I'd like to attend the PSU event with you guys. I can bring my e-assist velomobile Bill Edited to correct event date

I'd be happy to bring my velomobile. I have an invitation to attend an Earth Day event up around Seattle but the PSU event is easier to do on a work day. Sun Coaster, please post the link to the new Earth Day topic post

I just received a reply from Sunrace Sturmey Archer about the minimum chain ring size allowed.

You got me there, I'd forgot to include that link also. One thing to not for the metric challenged is that the hembrow link is only in metric whereas the web archive link has the ability for bot metric and "Anglo-american units" The hembrow link has more velomobile types to choose from also. Bill

Warren, are you familiar with the Bicycle Speed and Power Calculator? The original site is no longer online however one can still access it via the web archive's Wayback Machine. Here's a link to the calculator...

From http://www.ebikes.ca/troubleshooting.shtml item number eight in reference to the threaded collar shearing off on the C'lyte 400 series motors (emphasis mine)

I believe that would be Greg http://endless-sphere.com/forums/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=7297 Bill

I just checked my parts inventory and I have an 18t freewheel and a 60t chain ring. That will get me a 3.33:1 ratio. I'll have to get the e-assist reassembled in the velomobile and give it a try. Bill

Thanks for posting the flickr set link Warren. I see he was also using a 13/44 combo for a 3.38:1 ratio. Perhaps I should have used a smaller freewheel like you mentioned :D Bill

Very interesting between the two I put my faith with Justin Lemire-Elmore of http://www.ebikes.ca
