This is cool. I have a Honda crx I want to convert to electric. Do you want to sell the Honda accord electric motor setup? If not what did you pay for the forklift pump motor or what brand is it etc.
Actually the motor and kit wont work in my new setup. The motor rotates in the wrong direction for my Escort and I have a 10 Hp 3 Phase motor planned for it. There are some pictures of it on my ev site nwaev . com I would like to sell the kit, now that I am on to my new system. Email me brian(at)n wae v. com
I got it to go 30 mph at that point. It is a 24v Caterpillar Forklift motor. That controller was an Alltrax 300 amp 24v in the video. When I upgraded to a Logisystems 700 amp controller I got it to 45 mph, but the range was cut in half. I am on my next project now, and it is a 3 Phase 240V AC system. It will be fully capable of going 85 mph. There is a guy here in our town getting 50 miles per charge and drives on the freeway 70+ mph everyday. Drive for free!
Yes, 5 speed. Most guys will keep it in 3rd for 0-40 mph or so and it acts like an automatic. You dont have to shift until you go over that speed. Super easy to do and free and quiet to drive! On my third conversion now... a Ford escort which is a lot lighter than the Accord and will be a 240v 3 phase AC system.
haha wow, that clutch was burnt up!
