I borrowed a portable GPS today, and took a quick ride in my Morgen. The battery was showing 50 Volts, (I want to see where it cuts out) and I got up to 23 MPH! After I find out what the cutout voltage is I'll use it to monitor the distance I can go on a fresh charge as well as finding out what the top speed is.
I am just super pleased.
I have previously said I wasn't really happy with the brakes, (mechanical bike discs), and I last week I found a vendor of ATV parts that had a two caliper hydraulic system , with a 4 mm thick 200mm rotor diameter that mounts to a common 6 bolt bike hub. The whole setup cost less than I paid for the bike brakes! I received it yesterday, and I'm gong to have to design and build new uprights, but this thing is going to stop like my Lotuses! Oh, the master cylinder even includes a brake switch and a parking brake function! Did I mention it cost less than the bikes brakes I'm using right now.
TTFN,
Dennis
