Hello all
Some updates on my progress to my c5
I have successfully installed my custom made direct 36v 250w brushless motor which is fixed in the middle of the 12" front wheel, the front forks needed to be slightly stretched around 8mm, but was easily achieved carefully with a car jack no split or damage to the weld!. This therefore now makes it front wheel direct drive and is a blast!! with the down weight of both the front motor and the driver for the back it works really well, 36v has vastly improved the hill climbing also, It now has a throttle accelerator too.
I have also body filled the major scratches,cracks and have sanded and keyed ready for the respray, Its going to be a custom candy blue (just waiting for a bit of nice weather to do this lol)
I have also recently bought a second one , (your all right how addictive it becomes
)
It had all original components excluding the motor, so have removed the back and front light for this one and will be running the lights on a separate small 12v battery linked to a solar trickle charger, will also have lots of cool gadgets/lights,chargers/speakers running from this also
, the c5 itself will be powered by a 50 amp hour lifepo4 so im guessing around 60 mile radius in between charging
Also figuring out how to go about making the full enclosed faring and am working on the mould, any help. or tips for this would be greatly welcome
So that's about where I am so far hope you enjoy the pictures the 2 people in the pics arnt me just mates who are helping me along the way
