Today I took my trike apart and started with help from Geert, with changing my trike.
This is his it was. Well without the fenders. I took them off.
The first thing I did today, was changing the front.
I made 2 cuts and bended the front part as the 2 red arrows.
This raised the front. Now I don't touch the ground with my feed anymore. This also made, that I could switch back from my 145mm spring, to 165mm. This makes that also behind the seas is again higher from the ground and that gives me more play with the chain.
Next thing I did, was putting my wheels more straight. Thay still have a bit of an angle, but a lot less. Now also both sides are equal in angle.
Solling with my trike holding the rear up, showed that the wheels are better lined out now.
I forgot to make pictures from that.
This is with the 165mm spring and the 1000w hub motor.
The 12v that sits below my seat, will be removed. There comes the controler. It will be hidden in between the 2 batteries behind my seat.
In the front comes also a battery.
That gives my over 2kw.
I removed the handle bars. It will be replaced with one from a bike. So no more high handlebars. It will be below my seat. I need to get new mirrors, so I still have mirrors, but I can also change my current mirrors and place them low.
With the handle bars gone, I have it easier to get in and out of my seat. My handle bars where narrow and my jacket could hang behind them as I get on or off my trike.
The only thing I need to do now, is replacing the controler display and my phonemount.
It will come in front by my pedals.
The Trike looks different with no high handle bars. More as a racer.
I still need to do a lot, but it goes faster than I expected.
I do now everything I wanted, because before I didn't do that and some things never happened. That is why I do now everything.
My changes must make that I can fit an other seat, have better steering, more comfortable hand position, able to take more with me in bags and let my trike cruise without pedaling. That is more for as I visit someone and not for touring.
I still need to order an other spring. The one that is now on it, is to stiff.
Tomorrow I go further with my trike.
As I don't forget it, I will make some photos.
