Trailer Update....

Last weekend I got my mate to weld up the two frames, the trailer frame you see on the bike and the frame in the background.



We started by welding a piece of angle iron across both ends of the frame to keep it square, then I ground off the mesh. Next we cut up the other frame and welded it in.

Welding Angle Iron.



Finished Frame.



I still have a couple of cross member angle iron to bolt on to strengthen up the frame, these will act as a support for the motor/chain tensioner and mudguards.
I rigged up a temp bar/wooden panel and box -(for batteries and controller).

As you can see I still have the wiring loom from a little scotter to figure out. The horn and indicators work but the cable aint long enough to attach to the bike so I bundled it up inside the box for the time being.



I did a little test with the motor, which is a 36V 500Watt. I had to use the controller of the little 24V kiddie scotter I got as the 36V controller I bought the other week doesn't work?



So I have.....
A 36Volt 500Watt motor running through a 24Volt Controller, with 2 12Volt 14AMP batteries, which nips along around 12-15mph?
Once I get the 36Volt Controller working and add another battery to take it up to 36V I'll be whizzing along around 35-40mph? .........Weeeeeeeee
