Electric-Powered Bicycle Camper (PART 18)

In this video I go over the last remaining tasks to finish the Cyberdrop, including glueing hull liner fabric to the interior walls and ceiling, final wiring of the brake sensors, brake lights, and turn signals.

I am using mesh velcro storage pockets simply pressed onto the fabric walls around the cabin.

And at last... I begin the big journey to Argentina.

I set out toward Thousand Islands border crossing only to find out the mandatory sidewalk for bicycles is only 25" wide. The Cyberdrop is 40" wide. So I press on to Cornwall where I cross into Massena NY.

At the time of writing this, I've put in just over 1000km / 621 miles. I've had one broken spoke in the rear right wheel of the Cyberdrop. It sheared off at the nipple and I think I remember the pothole that may have caused it.

I've also come to terms with an annoying rubbing sound coming from the front fork area, which I believe is the ACM panel grating against the fillet welds a little bit. Better that than a cracked weld!

The drive train on the Bullitt is holding up, but I should probably invest in a belt drive or just remove the front derailleur as I only use the big chain ring up front and a few of the smaller cogs in the back.

Overall, I'm thrilled to have gotten this far with no major failing. The motors and controllers have been put to the test traversing through Catskill Mountains in New York. I used 6000 watts peak at times and occasionally stopped once on bigger climbs to allow the motors to cool off. The third motor was definitely necessary for this kind of terrain. On moderate hills and the flats, I often use only 1000 watts between all three motors to cruise around 28 mph / 40 kmph.

Today, I'll attempt to enter NYC and see what adventures come of it!
