I've had a few questions about the pedals. They do not move. They are basically footpegs. The crank arms are attached to a fixed shaft. The driven pulley and driver sprocket are brazed together and float on the fixed shaft on two bearings.

Range is with batteries at 50% depth of discharge. Trying to maintain a constant speed of 30 Km/h on fairly flat riding. Strange point here is it appears to have more of a range at 40Km/h. Will need to test this more.

I just had the bike out for the first time tonight. No real bug's at all.

Thank you Mike for taking the time to explain the choices you made in your bike.

Cheers, Perry
