We have now found out what the reason was for the stop yesterday: the magnet in the motor seems to be demagnetized. We dont't know why, but our supplier PERM managed to quickly assemble a new motor and ship it with some megasuperexpresspriority, so it went from Germany today at 16:00, will go through UK and be here at noon tomorrow. We will not tell you how much that costs...
We will put the bike together tomorrow afternoon/night, and the race is next day. This means no time for adjustments, but we think there still is a chance to get through the track in a good way. Today the Motoczysz bike set a new record for electric bikes; about 98mph in average. The first team who reach 100mph in average win 10 000 pounds. Their bike look like a spaceship, very cool.
The latest days we have been pushing or driving Bumblebee through the crowd, and it gets a lot of attention. It looks like a normal bike, and the green color is very appreciated. When we are driving it, it's very hard to get through the crowd, since it's so quiet.
Right now we are having some beers celebrating my birthday. Yesterday me, Mats and Lasse went out in Douglas for some really nice food and champagne. Today we were up and working at 7:00 o'clock. Not. Tomorrow will be an interesting day. And it's the shower day. Nice :-)
Good night!
