    In this video, I do some more test rides, showcase the torsion suspension, paint on the side stripes and apply the vinyl logo, almost crash my drone again, visit with a couple engineers, and talk over the project with them.
    I bought a used Prusa MK3S+ 3D printer, and I've been having a ton of fun learning how to use it and printing out custom parts for the Cyberdrop.
    In the next video, I'm hoping to cover the custom solar installation. We've finalized the plans for the cell layout, and next the panels are going to be manufactured. I will have more to say about the company I'm working with in the next video, too.
    To do list:
    Overrun brake fabrication (welding, and testing the spring tension, etc.), solar installation, security system, fabricating a more robust ball hitch, Garmin Varia radar hardwire installation, interior electrical panel completion, interior fabric installation, storage compartments, transport Cyberdrop back to my house (65 km ride) for ongoing testing and final touches.

I am working on a Tiny Houseboat and hope to travel for a while with my wife in a couple of years.

    Totally making me and the wife a trike rig. I love the design and simplicity of this. What is the reason you went with an additional front wheel drive as opposed to two rear drive motors supplementing a mid drive, and front hub motor. I plan on having a charging unit set up for; if not continuous, at least long range.

    I have paraparesis, I can walk with a cane, but cannot make any significant physical effort, so I also have to use a manual wheelchair.
    I'm planning to buy a sports wheelchair, an All Terrain Wheelchair (ATW: in French it's called an FTT for Fauteuil Tout Terrain). This ATW is intended for downhill sports (ski slopes, lacrosse slopes) and for hiking trails.
    When I had my ATW, I would build myself a small folding fiberglass caravan, and with my dogs and my ferret, I would set off to discover the natural landscapes of France.
    For my wheelchair, I only bought bicycle equipment on the internet, 2 front headlights with a solar panel (2 to have 1 on each side), 2 rear lights with a small solar panel, and wireless turn signals.
    When I have finished my folding caravan, I will order again the same bicycle equipment that I bought for my wheelchair, to equip the ATW and the folding caravan, I will also order magnetic rotating lights that we puts them at night on a car that has broken down, if I have to drive at night, I would attach them to the caravan to be clearly visible.

    • @Jerbrown
      @Jerbrown  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Hi Ross, it brakes well with the hub regen braking. For emergency stops and also to act as a parking brake, I’m going to add an overrun brake to the tow bar like the Carla Cargo bike.

    A great overall video, nice video editing and music compilation. This is the first of yours I have watched, so you may have answered before. You are towing an empty shell. Once it is fully provisioned do you have an emergency over-run brake? That would be a brake on the trailer to slow it if it started to push the bike out of control on a downhill run and the bikes brakes can't stop that much weight? Hope that helps!

    • @Jerbrown
      @Jerbrown  5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Hi thank you. Yes, the overrun brake came later and is incorporated into the tow arm. However, never needed it once due to the effectiveness of regen braking.

    Hello from Trujillo Perú.
    I just came across this video. I have not watched your other videos on the build yet so my question may have already been answered.
    Have you installed Surge brakes on the trailer for down hill safety?

    • @Jerbrown

      I have a surge brake tow arm now. But I found it wasn’t necessary with the regen braking of the motors.

By the way sodering is not suitable for your trailer , look at what did do in a cars ...thanks for the vid , later dude . You are as brilliant as I and I'm 69 , loved your videa and thanks again for your efforts . The planet needs you .
    Crimped connections are more flexible, heat-resistant and vibration-resistant than soldered ones which have greater potential for wire fatigue and stiffening. Crimping is often more consistent than soldering, which can vary according to method or technician.Sep 19, 2022
