Looks great!
Will you use hydraulics for foot brake too?

Good work, it seems you have also used the same principle for steering as my systems so maybe it proves my concept works? Would be cool if you could make some videos and if you need some help with custom parts I have a lot of laser cuts I dont use anymore and might make it easier for you.

PM me if interested

Look forward to updates

DD I definitely based it on your system,it works really well but probably nowherenear as good as yours ,I appreciate the offer for parts which I might take you up on . It's definitely been a massive learning curve but I now have a better idea of electronics etc , hats off to yourself and anyone else that has built a system much harder than I thought

Fitted a thumb brake today (rear brake) as I am still trying to work out how to make the foot controls

Foot controls nearly finished, but needs tidying up here and there

Added a mini bass shaker to the handlebars today ,just the right amount of vibration to give it a more realistic feel

I think it would be a good place to shake road texture and gear shifts.
