My other electric trike - a 1991 El Trans A/S mini-el

(1/5) > >>

Karl:
This is my other big toy , a mini-el made in Denmark and previously owned by Maurice Gibb (BeeGee's).

It arrived in a fairly poor condition and had to be restored,then registered for road use and MoT'd. Although road tax is free, you also need insurance as it is registered as an electric motorcyle

Some piccies  ;

My mini-el needed some repair work and a good clean up ;

Karl:
Most of the spare parts came from these guys;

Karl:
Some of the parts needed were ;

all new tyres & tubes, leaf springs & shock absorbers, both rear light lenses , replacement "contactors" ,drive belt, fog light, assorted bulbs, wing mirrors, "engine compartment" cover











After a lot of hard work, and expense, the effort was worth it  ;)

a first test run..



The finished article,near enough  :-*












Here it is going for its first ever MoT  ;D

Karl:
I've since obtained a custom made trailer for it, to help me transport it to various shows and events







..which came in useful for Nikki's BVS Cityel/mini-el weekend in Bristol







The gent with the beard and overalls is Andreas from www.twike.co.uk , who also has extensive knowledge of the cityel/mini-el vehicles. A top bloke  8)
