Week 13: Motor On

Last week, we finally were able to mount the motor to the bicycle. We even pedaled on the bicycle to make sure that it worked... it did! We are very happy. All we have left to do now is attach the battery to the motor so when we pedal, we can charge the battery.

We have the 24 volt motor. This will simply be placed in front of the big wheel. The big wheel will spin thus spinning the small part on the motor, generating the power.

This will be successful for future classes to use and learn from.
