Thread: Electrathon - A Different Kind of "Hotrod"

Bat - Sorry you guys won't be there. Thanks for the well wishes. I'm on the road in just a few minutes...

Evolvo - It kind of depends on the situation. It's better to hold the dead man switch on and roll the potentiometer up & down as needed (very rarely run full power) to maintain constant speed. Sometimes in traffic it is necessary to do some on & off the switch driving, but each time is a power spike on the batteries and shortens the life of their charge.

There's a lot of ways to do much of this stuff,to work 2 front wheel barkes,I used a twin pull lever I got off a old BMX bike,it's kind of like this one;

But made by some other Co.?looks a little def but close,idea is I set balance between front wheels with the cables,that way ya don't have to have both hands doing the same thing.
OK ,How bad did Jim and his gang beat the others??????,

Those look like they would be much easier to use as long as they are properly balanced. I imagine braking with two levers on two wheels might get a bit hairy esp. panic braking in a sharp corner while adjusting the potentiometer .
