Does anybody know of anyone making a successful electric uni?
and I don't mean anything like the bombardier which has all sorts of
stabilizers and stuff like that.
I am planing to use a 18V cordless drill, probably a ridgid (the
industrial line) for power.
I do have some experience with electronics, and am planing to take out
the existing triger speed controller and replace it with something that
can be attached to my right pedal so that when I lean my foot forward,
it pulls it. I'm going to have a brake attached also, so when I lean my
foot back, it pulls it.
I am undecided where to put the motor, but if I have the thing chain
driven, future models could have the left foot operating a gear
shifter.
Here's how the right pedal's hoocked up:
