But BooBoo,
The Zike was not thrown away, Alwin "Quasimodo" is now the owner of this Zike. He will probably turn it into something special
For me, with my specific handicap, it was no success at all.
But I do not complain, I do have four different C5's now.
1. out of the box original with all options. Mirrors, indicator, seat-booster, horn-kit, mud flaps, high-viz mast, side panels and a original C5 coat.
2. 24 volt + hand-throttle "speedmachine".
3. 24 volt 750 watt "tractorpulling" C5 with reverse, cruise-control, corner and tilting sensor. Brake lights, temperature sensor etc. etc.
4. 12 volt + hand-throttle 7 gears superbike. (with T-Ford horn and purple neon lights)
They all have horn-kits, mirrors, high-viz masts and mud flaps.
And three more C5's for future improvements, spareparts, experiments.
2 more" with 7 gears, ready to be sold to two other handicapped people, wanting to improve their physical condition while having fun/transport.
So, still going strong on this side.
