I tell ya, this thing is adding up in cost—from master switches, regular on/off switch, amp/volt meter, reverse/forward switch, voltage shunt for meters, fuse block with voltage reg for lights- just ordered a motor controller from London, controller watertight box also ordered, Assortment of wire/pigtails.....
Also need to order one of those fancy x-ring chains (less chain noise)
Super excited to see what I end up with still though
Tires/rims are coming today
Still need to figure motor mounting- think I gotta plan for that
Edit:
Tires mounted/
A little over inflated right now/ waiting on two small areas of bead to pop
Edit again: just a pic of other parts either cleaned up or new for this project
I bought a nice rim that came with the tire already mounted that’s in great shape so that’s what I’ll go with....
Shock may need to be rebuilt- not sure yet...it’s been on my shelf for a few yrs.
Edit:more pics
Still waiting on amp/volt display - three way toggle for three speed option- and reverse switch button. I’m going to purchase 5 “cheap” 12v 12ah batteries just for testing... before a big lithium battery is bought.
——— two weeks later—— I’m “still” gathering parts
Still need or ordered-50 amp breaker/fuses holders. Batt wire/ small misc stuff. But almost ready to bench test motor.
Still gotta modify the frame, kinda looking forward to it but wish I could do it in the living room....
Gotta pause my hobby spending $ for x-mas present buying though.
I’ll add a new post when I actually have something put together.
