Two-seater Viper FS 3.0 electric mountain bike: fit a passenger luggage rack on a full suspension aluminum mountain bike + improved mudguards

Maybe your sister will be there?

She can't, she has a swimming pool.

[Christophe]

So what ? One does not prevent the other...

There are good ... descenders:

My sister has real boobs, she ...

[Christophe]

Bin that she come and show them here so if they are so beautiful! Otherwise ké dla gueul!

So there you have it, ATV tested and approved by minichris in the woods between two showers!

I went there like a nag: I stuffed in big holes and big puddles got wet everywhere and a lot of mud to finish ... (Macro there is no hidden message ... no no really not. ..on the other hand Guy you will pass the message on to your sister to see what she thinks about it !)

verdict: "In terms of comfort, it is better than the other ... it would just be necessary to add handles to hold on better ... "

These are words word for word ... Hey yes he speaks better than me minichris!

2nd small tandem ride between 2 showers with rambling in the mud and puddles to test the effectiveness of the mud guards!

Protection level is average I will have to improve the rear because the cover is not sufficient to protect the frame for my taste! An electric bicycle must be better protected than a conventional bicycle ...

And a little photo shoot in a pretty park to show you my luggage rack proof load!

[Christophe]

A last photo (which I like: decorations, light ...) where we can clearly see the effectiveness of the front mudguard ... or rather its "limits" ... the rear is the same and worse!

This needs to be improved a bit!

[Christophe]

Here is the front and rear mudguards of this ATV have been improved with 2 other recovery mudguards!

To us the puddles of water at 35 km / h !!!

Running in and validating the mudguards

I went there like a nag ... some puddles were so deep that my feet were under water (well at least under the wave)! Wet pants up to mid-calf!

We can clearly see the dry mud from the recent one, the dry one was without the additional protection:

I think it's ok!

Ah and a little catch to piss off those who sell and buy electric mountain bikes with 80-100 km of autonomy at 4000 € and more ...

There was already 40 km on the clock (over 2h10), more than half of which was off road (therefore more consumer) ... but this data does not change much to the obvious superiority of my machine over their pile of mud mediocre sold at a high price!

What my ankles ?? Wait until they dry before inflating!

Next steps and it will be over!

- disassemble the welded part to paint it
- improve the fixing of the rotating rear mudguard because it tends to pivot. I am thinking of soldering a mounting bracket on the square quite simply
- depending on the covering of the new mudguard attachment, I may add an additional deflector at the level of the overlap of the rear mudguard ... because it accumulates a little shit!

Originally it looked like this the Viper:



I'm going to try some tests that I wanted to do months ago: new-transport / bicycle-shock-absorbers-power-and-energy-consumption-t15951.html on consumption and depreciation ...

ps: whoever dares to say that he is uglier now he takes a ban of 2 hours!

[Christophe]

The site is finished: a small layer of paint on the mechanically welded part ...
