Right, I have absolutly no clue what I'm going to need.
But I have got this far, I wish to mount my power, motor and drive on a trailer
I have the engineering skills to make such a thing, but I dont have the technical data, I've seen loads of posts about individual components, but never one with which has everything in, at least not one that I can understand
can sombody please list the basic components out for me and how they work together in relation to electronics especially, please? thanks!
The reason for this is; I work in London/Live, and I can't afford a car because the congestion charge is £8 a day and parking nearby work is £10 a day. Thats £18 a day, or $28 a day roughly for you americans =P
I can't have a motorbike or a gas powered bike because I have nowhere to put one and you can't have one indoors anyhow.
I would use public transport, but as my work is on public transport, I need to be onboard the first train as it leaves the London terminal, how do I get there if the first train hasn't gone yet? - difficult to get around... this leaves me with one solution left...
Cycle, but, I can't cycle 12 miles a day to work and 12 back, I need to look presentable when I get there, so this gave me the idea to motorise a bike
It's going to be trailer mounted so that I can interchange it between bikes because I have 4 bikes, 2 racing bikes, a touring bike and a mountainbike with suspension for lazy days
I'm only 9 stone at best, 8 and a half usually, so weight isnt an issue really.
Also, is it possible to not pedal at all? ... not that I'm lazy, I do the pedaling on the weekends!
Thanks!
