I'm building the Sparky Electric Minibike (with some modifications) and want to maintain its nice look by making sure that the dimensions are correct. I also want to make sure that I'm building it structurally correct. I have some questions.
1) In the plans, 1.5" EMT (Electric Metallic Tube) is specified for the top (spine) tube and forks. Is the 1.5" shown referring to actual O.D, or the electrical industry definition, which is an O.D. of 1.74"?
2) Same as question 3, but for the stated 1" EMT down tubes and bottom tubes.
3) What are the rough dimensions of the seat?
4) Is the battery box secured with bolts only at two points on the right side of the frame, or are those mount points mirrored on the left side?
5) When welding the pipe what are you using for welding current (amps) and welding rods (1/16" 6013, 5/64 7018)?
6) Are the drive belts and v-pulleys 0.5"?
Many thanks!
