Hiya all.
First a bit about me. I am an IT guy but educated as an electrical Engineer. From Liverpool in Sydney.
Bought this Rotary Australia 2 Stroke 200Watter Bike about a year ago.
Done a lot of Km's on this beast as i live about 28km from work.
But as with us all 200watts in petrol is nothing like the 200watts Hub motors that Hyena is supplying.
So I bought the beast into work tonight to start making some torque arms for the rear in preperation for the package that is coming from Jay.
It had a max top speed of 25km before i thought that maybe i might try one of the more efficient CDI unit that you can by from Germany and this sure did make a difference bumping the max speed to about 33km/hr
I am a shift worker and do a lot of riding after midnight when the roads are really quite. So i got some nice healights. I have Dual Led Lenser H14 focusable lights. These are incredible lights and they are really sheap for what they are. Just added a dual Stem setup as i am gonna need room for my cycle analyst and beside that is my iphone holder for GPS speedo etc.
So done a lot of reading on here so trying to get my bike ready for the electric motor i have made some torque arms. They are 5mm steel. This picture is from the almost finished item. I did some minor changes and bent it to fit in etc. I Will give it a paint job etc as well. Planning on attaching it to the Disk brake points as well as some work drive clamps around the frame. Will be using regen braking on the back so want it to be strong. Made a similar unit for the other side as well.
