Just put a couple of rivnuts and mount it there if you are still able to swing your leg over the rear wheel to mount. Us older chaps like step through frames because, well... you know... Had I been younger I would have mounted a HL type battery on the top of the frame and it would still be...

Are they 3.8 km long?

d8veh has a thread or two where he shows custom made battery boxes. Measure up your triangle and make a mould to lay up a fibreglass box (I prefer fg/epoxy to polyester). If you are lucky maybe the guts of a HL battery fit inside your triangle it is just the case that is too big. Or have Insat...

Having ridden a Vélosolex for many years: yes it is an issue, these drives eat tyres for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The Solex tyres had a thick "drive" band and needed to be changed about every six months with daily use. Go for a harder rubber compound with the smoothest rolling band you can...

The Australian in the video brought up a good point about the plastic wheels melting on braking :eek: Look at these: https://www.taylor-wheels.com/bike-wheels/12-inch-bike-wheel/ you could mount a Magura hydraulic brake on the front which would mean you wouldn't need to rely on the rear brake...

A body like that on a tadpole trike would work for me: - better aerodynamics and dry feet - protected chain line - built in lockable storage space - a place to mount the LCD and, hell why not! A smart phone come GPS come bluetooth interface to the controller and battery - easier entry than a...

Only when it is not windy and hilly...

As noted above the assistance settings are only for PAS, your throttle gives you 0 -> 100% power only. You will find in assistance level 5 you get 200% power i.e. the full 15 Amps from the controller which is about 620 Watts when the battery is hot off the charger.

With a Rohloff hub and a "250 W" BBS01 at 18 Amps When I am out and about in kinder weather and on public transport a Montague folding road bike with either a hub or a mid-drive.

I got to measure the first big climb the other day it is 3.8 km long with a couple of false flats on the way up. Will have to measure coming up the other side one day, it is much shorter so steeper. Riding along the coastal road is a bit like what you show above, never a dull moment, up and...

I would love to see the C10 drawings, I dream of a Twizzy weighing 500 kg less (hyperbole guys, hyperbole! the damned thing is too heavy).

You aren't passing me too close and at high speed. You wouldn't because you ride a bike.

Welcome to the small triangle club! A bespoke battery enclosure is the route I am taking.

I'm feeling much better after reading your altitude gain average Eddie To the station and back is 1476.38 ft cumulative gain :D OK OK it is on tar sealed road :rolleyes:

Hello Morphix I read some of your posts from your previous life when researching. I love the C5! My vote on your question would be keep the exterior as stock looking as possible and bring the electrics into the 21st century. I know you are on a budget, I understand tight budgets only too well...

I find that things slow down a lot about half way through the second bottle of Navarra... :rolleyes: Seriously when I find myself in near accident territory I go into slow-mo mode too and it often gives me the time to pull back on the stick and fly my way out - if you get my drift. This came...

While watching the news on Spanish TV Friday mention was made of the doubling of cycling deaths in Spain over the last few years. And it was added "not enough cyclists are wearing helmets"... "Yeah right!" was my immediate thought and: - how many who died were wearing helmets? - what kind of...

The LCD was showing 36.0-36.1 V but the alarm was screaming for the last 50 metres of the climb. When I checked that one cell was at 35.9 all the others at 36.0-36.1 V. At home on the Battery Medic the voltages were confirmed so cheap crappy HK alarms do have their use!
