Mines unmodded so far except

Battery terminals chopped off and car ones were fitted. I have a replacement battery loom to fit.
It's got a black drive belt.
Hub caps are missing.
Handle bar foam missing.  
Brown fingers broke, still awaiting replacements.
Non sinclair tires.

Does this count ?  I guess only new c5's and purists are really under modded.

I'm never going to fit an original battery, so am thinking maybe a safe 24v conversion.

Yo Umpa !

You need to buy another one and let your imagination run wild

There are a few examples / ideas on this forum and others

Check out Filcool's C5 it is outstanding !!

You will be suprised how much fun you can have buggering about with a plastic coated tricycle

Have a look at this



http://www.yourc5.com/forum/index.php?topic=238.0

I converted one of mine to 24v ( with help from The Doc and Fezza ) using a cheap chinese electric scooter controller

I've never had it up to full speed coz it scared the hell out of me  Shocked

Both mine and my son's C5's are unmodded, apart form the usual battery clamps and swalbe tyres, we got all the extras on them, so they look the dogs.............

I personally think unmodded (or not buggered around with) C5's are better and all the ones I have restored in the past are sold on unmodded, people seem to want standard C5's over ones that have been messed around with, but thats my opinion, I have seen some really good 'pimped' C5's but the number of bad ones far outway the good.
