 Re: Deacon's Bike
I did the conversion to a 300 watt electric motor with friction drive last night. I got bored so I did it in a little over an hour anyway. For a while I'm going to use the trailer in my avatar to haul the two lawn tractor batteries around. It also makes the bike more stable without adding any weight. Unlike the three wheelers it doesn't have the tendency to tip over. I should have gone this route to begin with I think. Next I will build the right kind of trailer for it. One i can leave attached to the bike. It will have to be stored outside as it would for most seniors. I think a simple plastic cover should do it. The battery box comes inside for charging and safe keeping.
Anyway that is plan "G" plans A through F have failed already. Welcome to my world.
I warned you all that I was going to give a detailed description of this build. Of course you had, and I for that matter, had no idea how long it would be. If it gets to be too much information let me know. |
