So, turns out I actually had some time on my hands.
Did as much as I could.
I did:
Mounted rear taillight & all indicators
Strapped in batteries and tidied up cables and wiring
Mounted left over loose parts
Road tyre for front wheel and checked brakes
Fitted fixed BMS, which works perfectly now
I drove the bike around for about 7ish KM and used 15% of the battery, till the LVC. Which means I would get around 40km range within the LVC, so 10% remaining.
Don't really know where I would drive for 40km, but that seems like a probable range.
Another thing I noted is the front forks. WAY too much travel and the bike is not straight, ie. front forks too small/need stronger front internal fork springs OR new forks all together, BEST BET.
We are currently working on a forum for NZers to discuss their EVs and organise meetings and stuff. Will let everyone know when we have sorted it out.
Just a note that I have bought the polycarbonate for a fairing and the plastic sheet is merely to protect it from NZ weather at testing time :mrgreen:
Some Headways just came in, for a downhill style scooter. Thread to come.
