Thank you. I believe the frame weighs in at 10.8lbs (4.9kg). So that's what? 2-3x heavier than a regular bike frame? Total weight without batteries and with bags = 51lbs(23.1kg)
Sick build! Wondering how the steering and pedaling motion will feel since the whole crankset is going to swing with the front wheel if I understand your design correctly? Can’t wait to see it completed and rolling! New sub!
I think my logic behind getting on it from the right is because the kickstand causes the bike to lean to the left. So it has a more open and inviting appeal to it? Idk, it was my first one I've ever made and I didn't give it that much thought.
this looks a bit like the pivot steering on a python, except the pivot point is not in line with your spine. might be tough to get it to turn. you sure you want the over seat steering though? edit: ah, i this it has positive caster, so it's more like a flevo or an airbike. i will follow your progress :)
Lovely build, I am inspired to show mine. Ps. For the love of God lease buy an autodimming welding helmet it is very convinient and could saves your eyes, also very nasty radiation on you skin. I had my fair share of metal work injuries, they are all avoidable.
