RE: Solar eBike - Creating the Battery Pack
Thanks for the ideas! I think the velcro could work, but it will need to attach strongly to the box with glue in the bottom side. Maybe gorilla glue will be enough.
Hadn't thought about the front rack cage, but that should be pretty easy! It would keep my backpack secure, though it's not big enough for the battery box.
Would the plastic be for security purposes, or just to protect it from the elements?
You are welcome @cahlen!
The plastic shielding around the wires would help protect them from abrasion, the elements and especially ultraviolet from the sun which will degrade the insulation on them. You could fit both the wires into one piece of shielding also which would consolidate them.
The shielding that I am thinking of is the flexible kind that is generally called 'heat shielding' and can be purchased at pretty much any auto parts store. It may be worthwhile to shop around and find some that is specifically UV resistant.
