KCvale
In memory of KCvale 1959 - 2019
Tensioners aka idler pulleys, provide an easy way to adjust for the effects of chain and sprocket wear without having to move fixed parts like a wheel or motor is all.Thanks for the pics Jerry ! , why use the tensioner if its unnecessary right? no premature chainring wear ??
Just never try to use them to adjust chain path, aka trying to bend thick chain around a wheel.
Have you been golfing and rode an electric golf cart?KC, I would go for an electric.What are we talking as far as torque, top speed and range ?. Also can you comment on charge times and procedure...Thanks.
It's the same 'snap your head back' instant power without all the weight of lead acid batteries, the weight of the cart, and lack of gears.
In short every electric build I have done even the adult trikes can and will throw you off the bike if you WOT it in a low gear because electrics produce full torque from a dead stop.
Drop by my shop before next week and you can see for yourself on that Specialized and I have the parts on hand to build another.
Contact me from here to arrange a time if you are interested.
