Hello, I am a new member to the Forum, So thought it polite to put down a few words to introduce myself.
I am the proud owner of sinclairs Zeta I & Zeta II (though not too proud as both are woefully underpowered, & under engineered - In my opinion) I have also recently acquired a Zike aswell.
I have for many years had an interest in EV anf have hobbied with modifying & scratch building electric bikes, go karts, quad bikes, & electric motors - All somewhat basic using salvaged parts & lacking finesse (predominately lacking electronic speed control in favour of switches & big relays.
Now having a Zike (albeit one needing some work) has spurred me on to want a C5 more than ever (though having the space to work through one is a limitation). Getting a good Bodyshell / chassis (though would probably remake the chassis appeals to me & then fitting my own custom running gear (chain drive with modern technology non original motor, & aftermarket speed controller etc.
I hope the concept of marrying Sir Clives' concept & design with my own ideas isn't considered sacrilege in an effort to produce something partially bespoked, fast & reliable.
Anyway thats my introduction, I have learned a great deal in a short time by reading through older posts so I hope that when I take the plunge & start a C5 project I am equipped with just enough education to get me through.
