October 12, 20232 yr Where are they then? Expected very soon. For details you would have to contact Woosh.
October 12, 20232 yr Author Expected very soon. For details you would have to contact Woosh. Unfortunately, I can't make today's project out of thin air.
October 12, 20232 yr I need to find a shorter stem too, otherwise the weight in the basket will act like a pedelum and I won't be able to ride in a straight line. Stem 120mm -> 40mm saves 80mm, basket length ~250mm, hmm. How about a child seat clamp around the head tube so as to frame mount the basket?
October 12, 20232 yr Where are they then? They are still in China. Tongsheng told me they should be ready about now, then 5 weeks at sea. I will check with the sales rep tomorrow. The torque sensor kits for hub motors arrived this morning. Andy is testing it on his bike.
October 12, 20232 yr ...... For a bit of entertainment, you can start guessing now. ...... Ah! I think I know now what your up to.
October 13, 20232 yr Author The problem in post #17 is now solved, and I found a shorter stem on one of my other bikes. Waiting for delivery of the MPMTB tyres before continuing. see how handy a basket and a pile of lead weights is when you have one of those stupid Aldi stands:
October 14, 20232 yr see how handy a basket and a pile of lead weights is when you have one of those stupid Aldi stands: Oh I dunno... after a thorough clean with isopropyl alcohol, my Aldi bike stand (with admittedly poorly made clamps) held my 24.41kg+ bike with battery attached steady enough with me operating the throttle to update my thoroughly underwhelming and supremely boring Aldi spoke light video. The throttle was in my hand not on the handlebar, and I wasn't holding the bike. For more joined up patterns I'd need to derestrict for over 20mph and use Magic Lantern firmware on the camera, not that I plan to do either for this. Perhaps you should have kept your Dahon Jetstream? (Which wasn't actually designed by Dahon, according to [mention=24131]Bonzo Banana[/mention]) A three clamp head in an adjustable triangular arrangement would be better.

October 14, 20232 yr ...24.41kg+ bike with battery... How much is the + ? 24.412kg, 24.413kg , we need to know :-)
October 14, 20232 yr How much is the + ? 24.412kg, 24.413kg , we need to know I really don't know, my digital luggage scale lacks digits. It's + another 1800LM headlight + 2400LM headlight + aluminium waterproof two way motorbike switch + wires + Oxford safety arm + Planet X Super Mini 2 Way 200 Lumen Bike Helmet Light made red and situated on the Oxford safety arm + another bright red LED light + Minoura handlebar extension + various alloy GoPro extension arms of different types + probably other stuff I can't recall just now. Tell you what, I'll weigh it if I can lift it Edited October 14, 20232 yr by guerney

October 14, 20232 yr I'm going to have to weigh my bikes now ! Carrera xl rear hub conversion (bafang G020) with mudguards, lights, kickstand, 2* rear panniers (empty) 22kg without battery Boardman Large 29er, BBS02b , lights. Kickstand, 17kg without battery 48v20Ah battery 4.5kg Claud Butler step through XF08C conversion, with 36v 20ah battery, will have to weigh it when I get it back, but that was much lighter than the carrera
October 16, 20232 yr Author I do a little bit each day. These things are part of the project. The 3D printer is very handy:
October 19, 20232 yr Carrera xl rear hub conversion (bafang G020) with mudguards, lights, kickstand, 2* rear panniers (empty) 22kg without battery Boardman Large 29er, BBS02b , lights. Kickstand, 17kg without battery 48v20Ah battery 4.5kg Claud Butler step through XF08C conversion, with 36v 20ah battery, will have to weigh it when I get it back, but that was much lighter than the carrera The basic weight of my bike model was 10.7kg, but I have the version with mudguards and pannier rack which increases weight to over 14kg... changing the tyres from 1.5" Kendas to 1.75" Marathon Plus increased weight, so did the bbs01B kit and oodles of other things - but I don't care about weight, it's why I bought a powerful motor and a big battery. When I can't heave my bike onto a train after placing the battery in my rucksack, or into a shopping trolley, that's when I'll cease installing things onto my bike. Or do more weight training.
October 19, 20232 yr I do a little bit each day. These things are part of the project. The 3D printer is very handy: [ATTACH=full]54585[/ATTACH] No idea. Parts of a self-pedalling pedelec? Or a self levelling two wheeled gizmo? An automatic boxing machine to defeat errant gnomes? Edited October 19, 20232 yr by guerney
October 19, 20232 yr Author No idea. Parts of a self-pedalling pedelec? Or a self levelling two wheeled gizmo? Miles off! It will have three wheels. I've already thought of a name for it that's absolutely perfect to describe it. Gondola will be a large part of the name.
October 19, 20232 yr Miles off! It will have three wheels. I've already thought of a name for it that's absolutely perfect to describe it. Gondola will be a large part of the name. It mixes ice cream and hands over Cornettos? Paddles up foam in a pool with flappy duck feet and rolls up a ramp afterwards? I give up.
October 19, 20232 yr Author It mixes ice cream and hands over Cornettos? Paddles up foam in a pool with flappy duck feet and rolls up a ramp afterwards? I give up. You're definitely getting warmer. All will be revealed as the project progresses.
October 19, 20232 yr You're definitely getting warmer. All will be revealed as the project progresses. It plants seeds in rows, hence gondola? Cornettos, gondola, duck: it delivers the bill in an Italian restaurant while wearing a moustache and beret? Nope, I've totally given up now. Edited October 20, 20232 yr by guerney
October 19, 20232 yr You're building a motorised/pedal assisted launching/recovery trolley for a small boat or dinghy. Can I claim my prize now? I'd like a Wisper 705 please.
October 19, 20232 yr It mixes ice cream and hands over Cornettos? Paddles up foam in a pool with flappy duck feet and rolls up a ramp afterwards? I give up. Something like bike below.
October 20, 20232 yr It's a small three wheeled seated escooter/eskateboard/egondola for a small disabled weak one legged child afflicted by debilitating energy sapping Lyme disease, or similarly afflicted apprentice of extremely small stature, or a trained marmoset feigning symptoms, operated by a single push pedal assist (SPPAS) system? Easy push pedal requiring little energy expenditure (like the brake pedal of a car) to turn that crank with low force via a connecting rod, possibly linkage, springs, after that enclosed dynamo?/PAS sensor is bolted to the underside (egondola platform in between) of the what could be axle holders for the rear/front hub motored wheels? Might even be road legal if both motors are rated 125W and limited to 25km/h? I do hope so but again, I completely give up. Edited October 21, 20232 yr by guerney
