After a few afternoons of familiarizing myself with the tools, parts and challenges of building PiMotos at the shop in Sausalito, I have commenced the colossal project of creating a PiMoto encyclopedia. This photo-illustrated catalog of parts, tools, and assembly steps will be an essential tool when it comes to creating both builders' and users' manuals to educate PiMoto customers and streamline the manufacturing process.
And we shall call it the PiMopedia.
Here at the shop - which I refer to as "the Pi Factory" - we started by making a labeled diagram of the front hub motor bike to identify its parts. From there, my trusty co-blogger Jenny photographed these parts so that customers and builders can use them as reference when repairing or assembling PiMotos.
While this all may seem technical and humdrum to those more interested in riding the PiMotos than making and maintaining them, it is very exciting for everyone here at the Pi Factory. Having a comprehensive PiMopdeia and resulting manuals means we are on our way to being the most efficient, well-organized, and ultimately successful heavy bicycle / lightweight motorcycle company in existence.
But the primary purpose of this blog isn't to bore you with the inner-workings of a young company on the bumpy bike path to efficiency and eventual victory within a new industry.
It's to impart my elation in actually riding the PiMoto, also known as "the endorphin-cycle".
Brace yourself for an exceptionally vicarious experience.
Get ready for the PiHigh. . .
