has anyone ever stuck some gears on one , cant be to hard can it ?
Looks more like you need RAC / AA for a C5, might be worth checking if you are covered. When I went out one day I ended up after about a 3 miles with a puncture. Luckily I made it to a car wash that I use on a regular basis and the owner brought me home so that I could collect the car to go and get the C5 left at car wash. Whilst I was getting my car 5 people had tried to make offers to buy the C5. Not for sale after 30hours of work and costs of parts.
Also changed the original Sinclair tyres to Schwalbe city jects (thanks Karl) and touch wood no more punctures.
AS you like peddling , can i have your motor ?
i always carry the C5 tool kit & jack plus puncture kit. Best of all i tell my wife where im going and always carry a mobile, just in case i need a lift lol..
They arnt the best to push home lol..
Pedalling a c5 with two batteries wasnt fun at all..
Like Umpa, always carry adequate spares if you can. c5 toolbox, pump and puncture repair kit are a must.
Carry spare Inner tubes if you can.
Took delivery of my 1st C5 from Karl today & he was a diamond geezer loaning me a battery and charger to experiment with, whilst I find my own driving style and average out the predicted range I want to achieve, nice touch hey? Thanks Karl.
I currently have a 2 speed basic Brompton bike, which tends to jam in one gear, so thought the C5 with battery on board would be harder to pedal & true enough it was, but only up hill on the flat I found it really easy and lot more comfortable than my Brompton's poor pedal setting.
Being fairly fit & cycling 6 miles everyday, albeit not at super high speeds the C5 really brought a smile to my face & all those that saw it.
I recently had a young lad bring round a c5 for repair who had been pedaling his C5 about and his dad had trouble keeping up with him on his mounting bike !!!! - I have a c5 'Archie' that has a 3 speed conversion but to be honest it does not make a massive difference or maybe it my age !!!!
