Shorty gets upgraded
My main pedicab has been seeing lots of action and improvements lately.
New tires - 3 Primo 20 x 2.1"
New seat - Serfas gel suspension seat
New lights - 2 Serfas USLR-R USB taillights
- 1 Serfas USL-5 Raider USB Headlight
New sound system - Gigaware portable docking station
New water bottle - BPA free, with Cycle Path Logo
New bell - identical to the previous one that lost its guts.
New light bar - one with red & white alternating
New brake pads - front & rear
New inner tubes - front & outrigger
Also added:
A wheelset from a girls Huffy coaster bike that was already painted white
Coroplast fin covering the outrigger wheel for safety and advertising space
Speedometer for tracking mileage, which ranges from 7-16 miles per night
Canvas wrap over pipe insulation on backrest for a more finished look
A makeshift turn signaling device set up under the driver seat using a taillight that illuminates bottom to top in 3 stages and can be rotated to make the series of lights point either left or right
Other maintenance:
Re-painted the third wheel in white
Greased bottom bracket
Greased hubs on the newly added Huffy wheels
