I knew the US was taking on third world characteristics, but the rate is astounding. Until I see you move a three piece pit group with the extended family on board the Viets are still winning.
Yea I bet the tires there actually are sticker proof also.
I did weld some 3/4" square tube to the forks and welded a brace a few inches above my front tire
between the 2 uprights and then slipped a milk crate over them and tied it on.
Now I can haul some stuff.
I also added aluminum "heat sinks" to the motor to get it to cool better.
JB Weld slathered on the bottom and then stuck in place and zip tied for now until the JB dries.
I did take it for a 2 mile ride and it was down on power up the hill to 7-11 on Reno and Czech Hall.
It went super quick down hill though.
So i will say for now about 12 miles on a charge before it slows down a bit.
Cooler running motor may add some miles.
It is on the charger now.
I also added another tension spring on the motor mount pivot less drive wheel slippage now.
Front wheel bearings tried to lock up on me the other day. I suppose you can't leave a bicycle out in the elements for 20 years and expect it to be all peachy
