Completed Front Body Work

Finally, 300+ holes later and only an extra 2.5 kilograms and the front monocoque is finished. Display panel is being built by Peter now and hopefully the frame will be welded up soon. Front wheels and steering to go on next... Please help spread the word and help us raise the money for our 6 kg weight reduction for the battery pack. Thank you all for your support, we have our first sponsor/advertiser, George's Bike Shop whose website can be found here: http://www.georgesbikes.com.au/ :)

New Wheels have Arrived & Sponsorship Space

Finally the funds have been available for the purchase of 2 new 16" front wheels and the replacement of the hub in the back wheel. Many thanks to Georges Bike Shop Willetton, Perth for their continual support. With these new wheels we are back on track for a rolling chassis by mid May.
Please continue to show your support for our team this year by liking our FB page at;

Many special events and deals will be provided for those who follow our journey for the race in October.

One of the two cockpit sides of the eV, only about half the 150 holes drilled for weight loss have been done and that's only on this side. The holes will be covered by lighter weight sponsorship stickers and stickers carrying the names of those who participate in our FB promotion. Very time consuming process but well worth the effort.
