The clown bike lives if not so healthy

I changed to a smoother tire. I switched back to the drive wheel that looks like a round file, and I pulled the big batteries on a trailer and it all combined to make the clown bike hum. I climbed my test hill pretty easily and might have been able to do it more easily if I had let the bike pull more. I sort of over pedaled it with the assist to assist me rather than the other way. Regardless it worked pretty darn well...

I am giving some thought to picking up a low voltage light dimmer and trying it as a throttle and on off switch. It it doesn't work I will just return it to the store, no harm no foul. Those things cost almost as much as the motor did.

I have a back up bike again. I am going to build an ammunition type caisson/trailer for the batteries though. Also it needs that 20" crank set otherwise clown bike lives

It isn't going to set any speed records but who cares. I like slow bikes.
