| Just got it going with Steve Clunn's help, he loaned one of his controller, the curtis I bought did not work! went to the EV expo in Tampa & with the help of John Wayland got to put my bike in show so everyone could check it out. it has been in my garage for the last 7 months & not running at all & no one has even seen it yet! after the show I went to the drag racers to watch Shawn Lawless & other electric cars, Shawn asked me if I was going to race? say maybe but just got it going & wrong gearing & motor was getting really hot but I would give it a try! 1st & last pass I did I got half way down the track it started slowing down did not get above 35mph & at the end started to quit & made some really weaird sounds poping & a chattering noice then I saw my batteries saging to 39 volts. hopefuly it will charge up & go! I had a very fun week & a lot of people now have at least seen my bike now back to work on it!!!it's a new week! | |||||||
