The T bike, Torq Radical project

[flecc]

Many thanks Hawkwind, Nigel and Stuart for your generous comments. I not only get the benefits of the finished projects, but the reward of this forum as well, riches indeed.

I thought you'd appreciate the clear listing of the performance sources Stuart, since I conceived that with you in mind, that being your special interest.

You're very welcome, as ever, and I'm sure I speak for more than myself .

I thought as much! extremely helpful and clear, as I said: much appreciated flecc, thanks (also saved yourself much time & effort explaining ).

Stuart.

It wasn't really about saving time and effort Stuart, so much as it being better as an all-in-one grouping than in scattered bits in responses to different inquirers where it can be difficult for site visitors to put it all into context.

Note the wink smiley works well both ways though, and it gives more space for other comments & questions .

Deeply impressive, Flecc, just brilliant!

Thank you.

Django

Nice work Flecc, and no wonder you were so confident that no one would guess what the finished product would be.

[JohnInStockie]

Very impressive Flecc, well done! Youve amazed and astounded and pushed the boundaries again. Thinking back to some of the bikes that promised much but never materialised in 2007, is this a case of '..out of the Torq, the Radical rises...'

Many thanks Mike, Django, Ian and John.

Mike, not until Monday? I think you're already half way there, it's just getting the darned sticky tape in the right place. Some of the US sites would be right up your street for their ingenuity with using the most unpromising materials.

Yes, Ian, I was extremely confident that no-one would guess the wheel swap, it seemed so unintuitive and outrageous, and the battery was a bit cheeky too. You'd love the T bike, it has a race machine feel the moment it's sat on, and as soon as it starts to roll there's not a shadow of doubt about it's purpose.

John, it's certainly a pity that there isn't more genuine variety in what's available instead of many firms offering the same thing over and over again. Yes, out of the Torq the Radical rises, but I just hope MI5 don't get the wrong idea about this seat of radicalism and raid Pedelecs!
