The power to the motor - because its series wound, if we left the power on when we put the clutch in there would be no resistance to the motor... and if you give a series wound motor no resistance it will "run away" in other words... accelerate so fast it destroys itself. Fun fact!
If you look into any electric car, they make ridiculous amounts of torgue. The prius has a "fake powerband" or people would just break loose of the line. Nice work on the sol. What motor is it?
What did you have to turn off to shift ?

Thanks!
Its a re-wound forklift motor we got donated from a forklift company. 36V series-wound, we're over-volting it to about 72V and it seems to do fine!
Anticipating around 100-110km/h top speed
