my C5 project, 3 speed hub, LED lighting
« on: 03, April, 2011 - 11:31:35 »
Hi

I'm a new member of this forum and own a C5 now for a year. I prefer 'box standard' bud it has to be reliable/ work up to standard. So some mods i'm working on now, pictures will follow.

-standard ligthing, no serious licht output.
  -front now equiped with: http://www.immers.info/Webwinkel-Product-1954177/12v-T10-25-SMD-Wit-(175lumen).html Maybe it's a bit to much, it's unbelievable bright.
  -rear light: http://www.immers.info/Webwinkel-Product-1842600/12volt-Angel-eyes-ringen-Upgrade-LEDs.html
  -brake light:http://www.immers.info/Webwinkel-Product-1958925/12v-T10-8-SMD-Wit-(56lumen).html

Fitting off a sturmy-archer 3-gear hub, it's almost in, I hope to make a test drive early next week .

Fitting of trip computer: done

The electrics and drive line seems to work fine, the pod isn't working, all leds are a bit glowing up. We dit some testing, swapping. I think I leave it this way and when the electrics or gears starting to fail I go for a radical upgrade to a chinese ebike drive system (for use at 24v volts).

Wow, fantastic looking bulbs!
I fitted something similar to the tail light of my motorbike last year but it only had 5 LEDs in it, not 25! Would be great to see a photo of them in your C5.

sounds awesome, any chance of some pictures of how you are doing the gearing system? sounds like a good mod
