It's not installed yet, but I'm working out the mounting hardware to install the treadmill motor under the seat area. Since the belt I have is not long enough, I am probably going to be changing the pulleys for some regular V-belt pulleys, for which I have several belts available in different lengths. I don't think it's as good a solution as the other belt, as there isn't as much gripping surface area, but it will allow me to do this until I work out a better way.
I have not yet completed the pedal-chain-tension-controlled throttle, since some of it's mechanical workings are more difficult to physically make than I had anticipated, so I will end up temporarily using a regular throttle on the handlebars, most likely, until I complete the other mechanics.
