These appear as if they will last much longer.Attachment 18585
    Exactly what I was looking for! Thanks so much!

    Ha! Now I kinda want to try it. I have a tow strap, the factory tow hook, and plenty of spare time. The ebike has a surprising amount of torque. I'll have to wait til my wife's next day off, as I need someone to stop and steer the Mirage, hopefully my 9yr old daughter can take some good video. Stay tuned...

    air dam

    I finally modded a new air dam to fit the fancy factory body kit:

    It's just coroplast with DIY aluminum brackets.

    Can you use rivets and garden edging for the same effect? Not trying to ask a dumb question just curious

    I think so, and lawn edging would be more durable than coroplast, too. It gets brittle in the cold - I shattered part of last winter's airdam when I smacked into a snud on the road.

    This is just a hack. When I get my Forever Mirage, I'll (maybe) make a better version.
