Hi All,
in this Thread i will keep you updated while i rebuild my C5.
I will start with the Conversion to meet German Pedelec Regulations before i put my Hands on the Frame and Bearings as they are in pretty good Condition.
I Germany an original C5 is not Road Legal. It needs a Pedal Assistance Sensor, so the Motor helps you pedalling but can´t run on a Switch.
I decided to get rid of all original wiring, Motor and Control Box.
Here is what i start with.
The Motor i have is a 500W/48V BLDC. Double the Power we are allowed but it Can be configured to act as a 250W Motor in the Controller.
Honestly, using a 36V Battery it has 380W. Outlaw
Today i got all the electric Parts:
and collected a Freewheel adaptor for the New Motor from my, not so, local Customs Office.
Unfortunately the C5 is Kind of a Side Project atm, so please don´t expect it to be finished in the near Future.
The first Step will be a Motor Mount aka Subframe wich doesn´t hinder me adding an internal Gear Hub in the Future.
I will keep you updated.
