Day 105: It's rolling!
A long awaited update about Project Proton!
We admit, the schedule got derailed. Big time. We're so excited probably at first that we never anticipated the building of the chassis to last more than a month, which we projected would only take 2 weeks. Lesson learned, though. And a lot of lessons from life came suddenly into our realization. But amid the days of frustrations and loss of inspirations, the e-trike chassis finally was completed, like 95% of it is already done. The only thing left to modify is the braking system, since our earlier design could not fully function.
After we roll out the chassis from the shop, we will conduct test drives to assess its performance first. Housing production will then begin right after, to waste no valuable time. It's a new set of work to do. Nonetheless, the sight of your design functioning and moving means we're doing something right (haha, because if that trike explodes, then we're sure we did something wrong).
Here's a short clip showing the rolling of the trike. That's Allen, our CEO, currently driving our product. We're still checking the connection between the differential and the motor at this scene. Next time, we'll show the e-trike moving in a normal speed. The placement of the batteries is not yet final.
Bring it on, baby.
