Clearly you would have to practice fast turns to be sure you get it right. flyingfurniture.com.au has trikes you know.... Zebee |

Nothing so technical, it appears that I'm held together with gyprock screws. |

Sure, which is why you get the electric assist greenspeed sell. Or any of the various others about for trikes. Get to go outside and just move your legs, letting the motor do the real work with no balance or "have to put the foot down" problems. Zebee - wondering if a trike is n+1 or n+1.5 |

The Act is quite long, but it is descibed here : http://www.zbox.com.au/legal.htm Vehicles which are not required to be fitted with speedometers cannot be fined under speeding legislation. But they can be charged with the old offence "failure to be in control of a vehicle". |

Tis a nice sunny day too. I suppose I could get SWMBO to shift the exercise bike out onto the grass, it amounts to the same thing... |

Well, perhaps you might like to post the URL to that, instead of the urlto a vested interest, akaan importer. Otherwise we are going to realise that you are just a scumbag sock puppet for zbox. |

What I initially want to do is power assist the front pair of wheels on a trike, so all I'll need to worry about, for legal reasons, is sensing that the chainwheel is being pedalled. Hmm. sensor in BB would be most protected. When it comes to assisting the rear wheel drive, I'm wondering if it isn't easier to look at driving the rear wheel/hub by two chains. I have a old double sided fixed(?) rear wheel hanging from the rafters in the garage^h^h^h^h^h^hworkshop, which set me wondering. Either use the 7/6/5th cog on the cluster/cassete or braze an adapter for a cassette cog on the other side. You'd probably need high flange hubs so you can still change the spokes. < And today's little moral quandry is whether I should further investgate repairing the Kenwood mixer(mech fan dropped off motor spindle, rotor cooked and 1c resistor blew) or work out how to build a PTO* to drive it from a bicycle. Has this cool mechanism hidden in top. but I'm stumped getting the plastic belt driver off the motor shaft > * bingo, the old cheap angle grinder trick should suffice. |
