Well, I've had a day of doing jobs round the house today. Guttering repair etc. After doing these I decided I needed a treat so I finally got around to testing the C5 with a battery.
Being short of money at the moment I borrowed the battery from our Allegro which, happily is exactly the right size to fit the original battery top and has the posts the correct way round.
I had a huge grin on my face after wizzing round our village for about 15min. No belt slip and the pod seems to work as it should. :) :) :).
It does seem a lot faster than 15mph when you are that low down!

Fantastic stuff - great that it's all working as Sir Clive intended :) :) :)

8) It feels like you are going about 25 mph. I wonder what it is like in a 24 v :o

Fun fun fun :) :)

How fast will a 24V C5 go? Does it get into the scary rather than fun territory?
C5's are definitely FUN ;D
-
24 v C5 will go about 30 mph
-
It probably feels like 40 mph. I don't know I have a 12 v 8)
-
That sounds fast enough to be scary to me :o
-
It would be fun, or is it just because i am young i like going fast 8) 8)

I've hit 25mph downhill in my 12v, which was fun - right until the moment I tried to brake....
Now, I'm a bit more cautious until I can afford to do a rear disc brake :p
You are right though, it does often feel faster.
-
I don't think my rear brakes work that well either :o :o
-
The first time is always the most memorable ;D
