What a machine!!

All ready for it's SVA test.

Looks nice, very stealth.

What the hell you playing at WP or is it not yours ?

Poundland mudguards FTW!

I'm guessing the two tall side boxes just ahead of the rear wheel are for the batteries, the little box between the two large front boxes for the controller and the two large front boxes are for the pizzas it will be delivering.

Still trying to work out where the rider's legs go though, unless he's very tall or very, very short.

it has fold up foot pegs on the back and those power cables are way to thin

 

[Nealh]

Rear foot pegs, going to have to sit on nearly like a jockey. For full effect get a riding stick and give it a whack every so often because most will say WTF anyway.

 

[Nealh]

Sorry WP even if it is yours, it looks crap. Beg pardon for being so blunt, but it looks like a lash up often seen on ES.

How does the rear wheel manage with radial spokes?

Likely to fail on 'external projections', if the L1e manual, which I cannot see online as yet, is similar to the 'motorcycle ' manual.

Been feeling the need to "go to next level" and the forum was a bit quite, so I thought I'd get busy in the shed. The riding postion is a little awkward, needs some fine tuning and it's a bit bufferty in a head wind. A full touring fairing may help with this. Your right Mathew, it is a bit edgey, some smoothing needed me thinks.

 

[Nealh]

So sounds like a fun project just for the hell of it, to see if one can get it through the SVA process.
If successful some fool would buy it.

 

[Nealh]

I know you have had fun before with the WASP and the trike bikes but this is taking the P**S now.

 

[Bikes4two]

That's a good laugh, that one....(or at least it should be)

 

[guerney]

Is this for real? Do those four aluminium cases contain batteries? What kind of range does it have? Maybe a sheet of plastic could be flexed and attached to the big cases near the handlebars in a horizontal U shape, or some other kind of (U shapped?) bumper could be heat formed and attached, to pass the traffic cone test for jutting projections? Looks like it'll feel top heavy. Whatever the range, that uncomfortable riding position won't be easy on the back or arms for long...

Pete is bored and simply needed a little project, so decided to see how hard or easy it is to get a lash up bike through the SVA usually his builds are a bit more sensible.
The WASP was another slightly hair brain bike but saying that it was sold and the guy who bought it had fun making some videos stunt riding it, the work and engineering of the wasp was pretty damn good though in the finished item.

This might sound strange, but I like this build! It should be sposored by Duracell or something, because it sure does look like it might have some seriously long range. Those cases certainly do look large enough to accommodate a whole lot of cells (and/or sandwiches).

Wow, what an interesting build!

FINISHED AT LAST THE WASP FAT TRIKE

The conversion is at a point of a test ride had to knock the power down and limit the speed to 15.5 mph [ got scared at 30 plus] Looks like a wasp and it also has a sting in the tail

WASP build was Peterc's build and part of his adventures on 3 wheels. Tried them myself a couple of years ago, but they all tried to kill me!! You have been warned.

 

[guerney]

How much does it weigh? There's room for elbow rests on the front boxes, for comfiness on long rides. There might be something wrong with me, but I like this build! A proper tourer.

 

[wheeliepete]

I should come clean and say this machine is NOT mine, I've not completely lost the plot.WTF was my first reaction and thought it would provide some entertainment for the forum. It does I guess follow the saying "if it can be imagined, it can be built", although i think mind altering drugs may have been involved here.
