Electric conversion: Project ForkenSwiift

[MetroMPG]

The red car was rusted & patched exactly where yours is - sorry. Guess it's sayonara Suzukiclone for you too, eh?

Have you been riding/driving your electric scooter this year? You really ought to post a thread about it (with pics, naturally).

I thought that was the one you patched, so I guess the other side is not the same either huh?

Nope getting tired of fixing the broken controllers but I am working on an old mountain bike that I now have 2 20" eGo wheels on a 26 inch frame making it a low rider stretch bike that I will mount an eCycle motor on and maybe 2 or 4 - 26ah batteries on a spring mount and end up with a pretty fast low sitdown easy rolling street bike - no suspension with high pressure ringworm tires.

You could cut an old cooling tray (like for baking) down to size, prolly pick one up from a junk sale or thrift store for cheap.

That's a good idea - and it made me think of another one: a grill from an oven (the racks inside, you know?).

How about the mesh from an abandoned shopping cart?

No abandoned carts in my little town. But that's the idea I was thinking of. Even something like the mesh from an ironing board. (Some have a metal lattice under the pad & cover...) Something will turn up. If not, I could always go buy a roll of aluminum flashing and put on a double-ply's worth.

Anyway, the bike trailer is done. Turned out OK. I'll post a pic or 2 eventually.

First, as promised,

Second: back to the ForkenSwift.

After a too-long delay, Ivan and I spent an hour on it this morning. Hopefully the inertia will carry it along a little more regularl

How much did it cost for the tranny adapter plate?

[MetroMPG]

It was gratis for the metal. Scrap. Ivan cut it & we drilled it.
