well shit

that was faster than expected...

The bike is now nothing more than a big pile of expensive shit.

Broke the wire coming out of the motor due to my own ignorance of how to properly string it around the bike to the controller. Lesson learned, It's critical to keep that wire from getting damaged by any means necessary.

The motor's good, but without those wires being connected, it can't get the juice to work properly.

But I'm not totally emo cut wrists sad about it. I'm just so goddamn aggravated after working so hard to get it all together.

Talkin to hi powered cycles now about what to do. It's all technically under warranty, so I should be within my rights to send it back and get it fixed, which I will do if necessary. Now, I'm thinking  maybe I can rig the wires myself and fix them in some slapdash fashion, but who knows if that'll work. The damage is such that there's very little I can do about it. Oy vey...

I might just say to hell with it and get a electric moped fully assembled. Like I told myself when building this bike, something's going to go wrong. And it did. Though not what I expected. I thought the motor wouldn't work, it did. I thought the battery wouldn't juice up the shit, it did. Throttle works... only thing that's off is the motor's little wires which got ripped up because of the back wheel spinning and pulling the cord. So now I'm fucked. And have to get that shit fixed... what a day...

Gottta go to work tomorrow too, so now I got to deal with that shit. Hope I can just get this problem solved and move on... god willing...
