Topic: My next restoration/project will be a 24 volt C5

[Karl]

Looks like a wheel chair motor but a bit larger

if it is from a wheelchair probably best not to advertise the fact, I get enough jokes at work about c5's as it is

Haha - and the originals were made by a factory that "also produced torpedo motors", we don't mention washing machines!

Seriously? 

Let's get a mortar on that bad boy and make a C5 tank. Karl's got the connections for the weaponry

Hi thanks for that but It won`t be a tank but something  special ??

I will  test it on a old body first while I work on the new one that will be going on it ..

If all the tests go ok it should be ready in about a month

Hi all just to let you know that today I have been out on a test run with the 24 volt C5 that I am building and all went great .But the battery's died on me (they are about 4 years old but I did manage to do about 5 miles before they gave up and after that  it was peddling the last mile back home ...Now it`s time to take of the old body now the testing has been done and concentrate  building the new one up and fitting the extras . Take a look at the body I used as you will see it`s not one of my best c5 body's but  it did the job .No lights /boot/ mirrors/ indicators / front and back wheel covers missing no pod no wiring only for the motor control .But like I said it did the trick......

Chaz - How heavy is the C5 with the massive motor and 24v batteries?

[C5 ENTHUSIAST + RESTORER]

I will let you know when it is completed .....Regarding the weight of the battery's the only one`s I have are old and about 40 Amp each ..weight ?? will get back to you asap ....

Looking good matie  ,  those c5's at the Ecovelocity show seem to have been an inspiration to get customising

WOW! 

That's amazing Chaz! Love it!

Will you be selling or is it one for the collection?

Nice one Chas, I like it. How about the 24v drive and electronics.

I hope my 24v will be done for the summer (bad back at the moment).
