Title: Its been a long winter...but 2000 miles achieved on Magic Pie kit
Post by: DirtyGinge on February 21, 2011, 09:48:18 PM

Just wanted to celebrate with you all, but this week I achieved my 2000 Miles.....might even celebrate and wash the bike, whether it needs it or not lol

For all the newbs wondering about the motor, well you need to solder, tape, lick stick and glue, patch match etc, but the motors are rocking on, pothole, snow, rain ( and I mean real fekin rain) ice -14C, and just about any other thing a worst in 100 year winter can throw, gingers pies are still in action

 ( Ginge rapidly reaches to touch wood, throw salt over shoulder, turn around 3 times and salutes magpies for further good luck )

Ive been running my new chinese pie in -20celsius for the last months and the kit seems to really like the cold weather
The only thing I wonder is how long the battery will last

The GM batteries should handle discharge down to -20C, but during charge, the battery should be above 0C, according to spec.
