doesn't seem to exist any more. Another problem (which I'm going to have to deal with on my beemer) is the shaft drive makes it hard to alter gear ratios to zero in on performance vs. speed. Have you seen Alan Grimmett's Ural? http://home.freeuk.com/alan.grimmett/ebike_pages.html Paul

more or less smooth outer casings. The Etek was redesigned that way, since it overheats quite easily. It's only the Perm with it's peripheral cooling slots that really seems to have a problem. In any case if you keep the peak motor temperature down, you shouldn't have a problem. Paul Compton

I love that flip open cover. Is that stock or did you make that? The bodywork is all standard. That's the advantage of converting a water cooled stinkwheel (two stroke). You've got fuel, water, and oil tanks sitting under a dummy tank cover. Paul Compton www.evguru.co.uk

track idea has been tried before. Sometimes with fatal results if dirt causes the track to stick. If the clearances are too wide, you may experience chatter under various loads. You look to have quite a lot of inertia around the steering axis, do you have a steering damper? Paul Compton

battery is now also on its side. An Optima casing as the same width as height, excluding the terminals, so I didn't have to do much to the frame. I just shortened it a bit, which makes the bodywork fit better. Paul Compton www.evguru.co.uk www.sciroccoev.co.uk www.bvs.org.uk www.morini
