Honda Gyro.....

[frank horton]

looks like I bought one of these with a junk motor...at last..

plan is to use an elec conversion kit for a go kart.....no need for speed or high horse power.....
plan is to couple this kit to the original crank drive after binning the head, barrel n con rod....
seen this kit in Germany, making the post is easy for me..........
anyone used this kit or similar....dont need brushless either....simple is best...
it's just for use around the property, never on a road....all flat....it's a runabout for small tools , chainsaws etc thats stored about 150m away....
just sick of walking with a barrow getting stuff and then u need go get something else....plus, I have arthritis in my hips n knees....
what da ya think.....

I'm

Don't know about the 36v stuff but recently been riding talaria stings with 60v system.
They bloody shift!

Worth checking as a 6kw motor will propel that to 50mph!

Will be interesting to see what the 36v would do.
What's your thoughts on battery? Twin dewalt or makita batterys or something?

You wanna bung a CR250 engine it...

They will, and it'll probably be brilliant, but by the time it's finished we will all have forgotten what they were doing in the first place, and found something else to watch instead.

36v electric bikes have been common for several years, the newer ones are 48v.
You might want to see if you can get a 48v kit instead of the 36v one.

I thought that most motors these days were brushless, they're no more complicated than brushed as the "black box" (controller) does it all for you. The only difficulty is fault-finding if there's ever a problem.

thanks for the replies.....
this is a normal `Gyro....racks front and back.....

often with plastic crates around here.....as for 36v, I have three med size 12v m/cycle gell batts doing nothing......
if its just a bit faster than walking pace that'll do for me....
best bit for me is switch on, twist n go....no petrol to rot and when I get off it wont fall over....

Colin is busy with his de lorean ‘garage’ project at the moment. Covered up with sheets this evening. Not had chance to meander round to see where he is up to with it.

I had a Honda NV50 "Stream" which was similar tilting three wheeler - good fun.

You'd never get away with that if His Majesty's constabulary spotted you anywhere other an your own property with it....

Looks like a proper version of NVT's Ariel 3 .
