Road Testing

The bike is now in the city and completely legal, so it's time for road testing.

I'm anxious to find out some stats.
Sitting still, the PakTrakr reports a draw of .2 amps.
With the LED Truck-Lite on low-beam, it shows .4 amps.
High-beam makes it .6 amps.
A quick spin around the neighborhood showed 94+ amps on acceleration but only 29 amps for steady cruising.

It's seriously fun to ride.
It is almost like floating down the road. It's pretty quiet of course, but there is a nice electrical whirring created by the motor at 25 mph. I may need a different drive sprocket to achieve 55 mph. The mirrors may need to be relocated or replaced for safety. The license plate may need to be relocated for preference. Overall though, it's a really cool way to get around.

Pictures and stats to come soon!
