K2 Retired

Over this winter I dismantled my K2, having travelled well over 3,000 miles on it in all sorts of conditions. Unfortunately the forces generated by the weight of the battery on the rear suspension main bushing (where it connects to the frame) caused it to become unsettlingly loose. I deemed the bike unsafe to ride further. If my route to work had been a bit more smooth with fewer potholes, I imagine I could have travelled many more miles on this setup. I am currently deciding what I would like to do with the parts for my next project, as everything from the battery to the motor and controller are still working great.
