I see what you mean  :(. I remember this being a very popular and busy website /forum, even when Facebook seemed to be taking over, but maybe it's gone down that route too ??
Have to see if anyone else will reply too - still be interesting to know if that modified c5 is in one piece and running, or just gathering dust and looking for a new owner  :)

Just remembered, and checked - it was the C5000, and the Santa Pod 55mph run was back in 2011.

Not signed on for some time, but used to be quite active on here when I owned my c5s. I'm now thinking  of getting another one.
Does anyone know what happened to the modified 'c5' that ran down Santa Pod a few years ago?
It was when c5alive had a stand at the electric vehicle event, and was built, if I remember, by Karl and someone else. Think it hit around 55mph and was a custom build based on a c5.

Hi, I took my c5 apart a few months ago and am now putting it back together. But I can't find the washer and nuts to put the rear brake wheel on. Does any one know what I need and where I could find them thanks.

C5 Chatroom / Electric bike laws

So were no longer limited to 60kg
Still limited to 250W with no 'Off road' switch (I would fit a hard wire removable link)

What is the point in staying in the EU if we're not going to get any of the good laws?  >:(

I was previously on here as Nitrowing but so long ago that the forum forgot me!
My previous posts are still here though  ???

Anyways, it's sad to see how few new posts there have been - I guess everyone has moved to the Jerry Springer of the internet, FarceBook.

My C5 is still sitting on it's tail in the corner of the living room, ready for take off!

I have to say I did lose a bit of enthusiasm due to working abroad and having too many projects on the go.

I'd still like to get a better motor fitted, one that will pull 15mph uphill would be perfect.
I never discovered what size the crank was to replace it with a sealed unit.
I'm still debating which rear geared hub to fit.
I never found a shop to get the front disc hub fitted to the rim.
I've looked endlessly at leading link front forks.
I gave up on the idea of a powered front hub due to the price.

C5alive Information / Re: A prototype off-roader
« Last post by Paul Langton-Rogers on 15, May, 2016 - 14:42:05 »
What is the difference between the off-roader model and the regular model, apart from the obvious power and speed restriction (for e-bike compliance) lifting?

I mean, how is that restriction overcome on the off-roader model? It is the same motor and electrics just without the speed limit, or is it a major difference in terms of motor, electrics and power?

What kind of speed can do the off-roader do and is it better at hill climbing?

And finally, could the off-roader C5 (or a regular one adapted to go faster) be Type Registered in UK and have number-plates and be used in the AM category (same as mopeds, microcars and low-powered electric vehicles like quad cycles).. or is the C5 just unlikely to gain Type Registration and pass MOT, without significant re-designing of the brakes, lights and everything else, to bring it up to legal standards and safety compliance?
