Week 6 - Blog 2 - 3/22/18


We are nearing in on finishing the first bike. We have attached the bracket and batteries and we are finishing the side paneling for it so it can stay secure. The throttle system is on and working. If not finished today, it will most likely be completed upon return after spring break.

We now have both bikes and have begun construction of the first bike. We plan on finishing (or at least coming close) the first bike this week and starting the 2nd bike next week. We are using the metal bracket on bike two because it has skinnier bars and the brackets fit on this one and not bike one. Bike one will use a wooden platform instead.

John now has a truck that we will be using to transport the rest of the parts needed to begin building. We are waiting on an axle to be aligned so we can begin construction of the first bicycle. Currently, we are looking for the most ergonomic layout for all parts that we will be adding to the bike and even the parts that are already on it.

We were unable to begin our construction process due to a substitute being in place of our supervisor/facilitator. We will continue the project when he returns. We have preliminary parts ready for attachment, but we are waiting on a battery bracket and throttle to begin building. Hopefully we will begin building sometime next week if all of our parts are in.
