Sunday 23rd of August Training session.
Sunday we finished wiring the last of our proposed battery packs which means we are almost ready to do some serious performance testing and getting use to handling the bike and improving our riding technique on longer duration runs.
Besides that, we also tested our home made pedal generator during the week. We have discovered that it is, um, 'close to useless' ... it seems like the only thing we achieved was the spectacular destruction of electrical equipment.
We did learn some valuable safety lessons re proper testing procedures though ...
So with some more, targeted, guidance from AAEV, we've started again from scratch with the Pedal Generator design ...
We also fitted an internal, key operated, DC Electric Ignition switch to the bike and further modified our wiring loom to improve electrical safety. Thanks to our sponsor, AAEV, for the key parts, guidance and assistance.
