Well to those who do not know what I get up to with my C5's ,this is one of them. A 36v / 72v hub drive conversion.

This version is called 'Turnip' , dont ask why? ..... And yes dave the guts from it are yours bud. But watch out for T2 !!!!























*Chassis sandblasted and strengthened and powder coated.
*The Axle due to hollow I had it cut and a new one made of SOLID STAINLESS STEEL ( ouch )
*Front and rear disc brake
*Bander chain ( stainless steel with a 320 kg brake allowance )
*36 / 72 volt German hub fitted with a Hope chain ring.
*2 x 36volt Lion - Lifpo4 batteries .
*All new bearings and bearing runners, ( pillar )
*Chain tensioner ,stainless steel throat and press of 6kg to help sag.
*Hope rear sprocket, 36 click, nice and quiet.
*A 12mm steel housing to hold the hub and strengthen chassis. ( I got help with the welding )
*A boss to hold both the drive gear and disc brake.
*Strip lights underneath ,Red underside at rear , blue direct under and white around the front wheel. This lights up the front wheel cover reflectors and gives a good visibility.
Results:
36 V HT = 18mph up hill + 23 on flat.
36 v HS = 32 mph on flat , Not good up a hill
72 v HS = 48 mph on flat .... gave up as nearly **** myself.

And you bent the axle ? Bad design waiting for the bits to improve if any way happy birthday for yesterday you tart and do I get the front wheel and pod with speedo ?

60+ on flat ??

Its geared for that, with your weight dave not mine ..... Only a speed demaon like you would like those speeds bud.

Yep good idea considering the cost of those things

keeping it 36v think you would have to be mad to go 72 lol well i am a bit mad but only got 1 battery lol

need somewhere to store or sell the touch 24v thats not i want to do but need the space before the build can start
