Hi all.
I WAS building a "Happy Time" Schwinn OCC (Lookalike) chopper which I intended to Register and insure as a moped here in BC Canada but I have been told by those who know that I would be better off to start from a motorcycle frame from a legal standpoint.
So instead of a "Street legal" build I am starting a decidedly illegally overpowered "pedal assist" chopper. In BC we are limited to 800 Watts maximum.
I think my motor is 1600 Watts
It came from an Invacare Panther MX-4. A very BIG 4 wheeled mobility scooter. I got the whole scooter from a dealer who was tired of trying to repair the throttle unit (not the controller) for $100
It took days to pull it all apart and extract the electrical harness, lights, motor and controller.
"Panther" seems like an appropriate name for the project. Both because the scooter was called Panther and because I should end up with a powerful yet quiet killer.
Pix to follow.
