Great stuff is the dog running to keep up or is the dog pulling you ? I reckon if Chas got a pack of huskies to pull Supergran it would be so funny  ;D

Absolutely pulling, without a battery aboard he can go up to 30 mph average, including pee-stops  :D

You can hire Frey, no problemo, he is very attached to me so you have to take me as well, I wouldn't like to see him unhappy. But, there is a small issue about going into Quarantine, you have to find a solution for that  :D And don't forget, he walks on the right side of the road!  ;D
A C5 limits the amount of presents under your tree, by the way!  ;)

great stuff...but can any 1 else  hear the drive belt slipping or is it me?

the plumber ;D

Since Border Collies need to move a lot, it makes them happy. I am really glad I found out that the C5 works like this. Frey (the Dog) is very sporty by the way, he likes volleyball and frisbees as well as you can see on the two other movies I have on YouTube  :D
And yes, the clicking of the drive belt is when i put the engine on at low speed. I put it on when I see gravel or small grid on the road, to save the paws of my doggy. At 6 miles or faster I have no problem. Should I worry about this?

Great video, very very funny in places.

I've done some c5 dog training myself.

Mike, great training of this dog, but you have forgotten to hold him by the leash! LOL  ;D

hi there yes you need to sort out why the belt is slipping...it could be the belt is too slack or the motor has dropped off the support clip on the motor mount....... ;D

frankev

I'll dive in it tomorrow, I think it might have slipped of the support mount, I just mounted the18 mm belt a few days ago. In case it is to slack, is there some kind of spanner? I didn't see it yet.

Thanks for the reply,

Frank
