Woohoo! First real drive yesterday. Kept it slow (max 30mph) because the brakes are still not bedded in, and I couldn’t position the seat properly because the harnesses I have don’t fit quite right. Ordered new harness hardware to remedy the problem.
Due, in part, to my awkward seating position and unfamiliarity with the car, I was over-throttling a bit, and under-revving at other times, but it was fun. It’s [ahem] extremely responsive to throttle input. I don’t think I ever gave it more than 1/4 throttle at any point. Turns out, driving on the gravel road kicks up A LOT of rocks; I really need to install the cycle wings. It started raining just as I started to drive, so I got a chance to try out the cute little windshield wipers. They work, though I still don’t think I’ll be using them much.
Took some video by taping my phone to the rollbar. Worked out surprisingly well, actually, although the quality is still a bit poor. Thinking I need a GoPro; hmmmm:
