PM me a figure!
The swing away is unusable. Its elasticated. Thats going straight in the bin if I cant figure a way to fix it. Or ebay... Will fit a sunrise one or make a better one. How the hell do other people manage? They managed to make it complicated and ugly, stupidly expensive and completely useless all at once! Must have too ages to design all that in! Useless.
And its likely going to get 10 inch rims and 130 tyres. Those 3.00 x 8 look ridiculously small! And give inadequate ground clearance for my tie down.
And I don't like the footplates. Too big, should be black. And will be smaller and black soon!
In fact the whole seating and mounting seems too flexi to me. I see some serious fixing and rose joints in its future. And the backrest too... Its got backlash. Rose joints will fix that too. Now long term, it needs seat moving back about 4 inches, centre footrest mounting further back under seat. And smaller front caters and matching forks.

I look forward to this project, especially the motors. How do they interface? As in, what type of connection, how many wires, and what gages are they? Way farther down the pipeline (I don't plan to even start this year) I plan to do a whole new outdoor high speed oriented build using either these motors and 48v, a CVT type gearbox that I'll design and build, or a high/low range auto shift.
Anybody even know the source manufacturer of these motors? I would doubt that Invacare designed and built these in house.

Has anyone else used the Retract 4 swing away mount.
I think it is the best swing away I ever had.
