Right, I really need to get off my backside and sort out a way I can use my C5 more than 2-3 times a month, so I'm looking for ideas that could work but wouldn't break the bank.
I live in quite a hilly area, but on top of that due to an illness I don't have as much strength or stamina as I used to. If I stop on anything more than a small incline, I can't get going again, and I can't pedal uphill once the motor stops assisting, and at that point I'm a bit stuffed because I can't walk far either
I need something I can just use to get up hill, however slowly.
I've considered a mobility scooter motor, but that has the problem of having a brake built in, so as soon as power is cut, the brakes kick in, and I doubt 24v would help in that area. I'm not sure that a front hub motor would do the job either but I don't have any experience with them.
Anyone got any ideas (other than moving to somewhere flat) ? To be honest, I'm much better at PC related stuff than I am at anything mechanical!
