Hi So sorry I have not been on here for a while.. I have infact been on the Cityel Facebook page only because it translates for me.. So... where am I.. I am up and running.. all legal and I have done around 50kms so far in the Cityel around town.. each time I am going just that bit further with the confidence I have built up.. I am tinkering with it and have projects lined up... and then a total repaint.. Every where you go your looked at and or people come and ask about it.. which is very funny.. I am still on the used set of AGM batteries I got from a nice chap on the British Battery Vehicle society club... and they are not new so I am being careful to charge them after every journey... no matter how short that journey is.. to keep them tip top condition..

I am keep to go lipo long term.. but worried about what I am looking for and how to do it right and safe..

I am also looking to add support to the roof of the cityel and it is bowing out at the front ( must have had snow in the roof in it's past and it's pushed down on the bubble.. so I need to put a metal support on the inside and bring it back up straight.. then remake the roof...

full repaint is on the books... I can do that in a mates spray shop...

I am trying to locate some 2.5mm perspex at the moment to correct the roof to the base gap.. I can only find 2mm or 3mm sadly..

Last week I bought a 3 motorbike trailer and that is going to be used for the cityel to transport about.. I am just welding up some ramps for it.

it's all go here...

I am still looking for a SOLID Roof ( bubble ) if you hear of one for sale?? non fun roof one..

Hi Mark,
good to hear from you again. Am following your steps on the danish facebook side. But due to having no facebook account i can´t answer there..

Once i had a yellow one painted in this melon tone they used to paint in later times. Now i have a different sort of yellow. It really depends on your style and taste. I prefer the old yellow.

Is your washer working by now?

Oh, and for uplifting your roof, just ask Sven Saalbach. Once he nearly destroyed his EL and managed to rebuild it, so he should be the perfekt guy to answer your task..

Greetings from Saarland, Sascha

I have not seen that video before no... how cool is that..
that city el reg number I gave to the DVLA to say here is another so they can match it for my application..
I don't know how to get in touch with this group as they look like they where active 10 years ago and it's now come to an end or has it???

my washer is now working thanks... so my MOT man who was very kind and let me off as he knew I was getting stressed trying to make it work!! we both could hear the pump running.. turned out the hose had popped off the nossel end and with that sorted it works perfectly..... as long as the water tank stops leaking !!! it never ends does it.. so I will have to fix that next but a simple job..

Does any one else know of any of the UK owner? I look to be the only active on the road MOT'd and Taxed Cityel out there... come one where are you??

I would agree with you as all my investigation into who is active always lead me to Bristol...

OH well one day I am sure I will bump into some one.. for now it's just me... on the road on my own.. :-(

The Danish FB group is quite active so I am happy to join in... even if I am asking silly newbie questions and or teaching them to suck eggs LOL... but either way it's been very useful.. I hope to join in here more but sadly I am guessing my English ( not German ) may be putting some folk off.. Honestly.... I am Brexit and Chinese Flu Free .... honest LOL

:)

I'd love to come back over to Germany and buy a Lipo version...
