Finished off the control wires to the speed controller. Mounted the pot box on the handle bars and made an alloy thumb peice. Fitted a Relativities active balancing circuit. Fitted an anderson plug for charging.

Went for a test drive. It drives ok but very sluggish on take off and acceleration. As thought, the gearing is to high. I need a larger sprocket on the axle and maybe a smaller sprocket on the motor as well. It drives quite fast with very little throttle.

The sprockets have been removed ready to go to town, next time we are going, so we can look for suitable sizes.
