what a great vid-- i know youve been asked this about 599 000 times but what is the engine hp and rpms?..and whats the make|? i am looking at two motorsw for a small tugboat- they are d&d es 70c i think- they are not for speed but they produce 70 ft -lbs at 1321 rpms...they weigth 90 lbs each. i am not sure if this would compare with what you have or not- but would they be reasonable power using two engines?
Man that car really does not like bumps! Have you replaced the shocks I know I need to in my truck conversion and I don 't know if I could recommend DC motors my warp 9 really draws amps on take off if it weren't for price I think AC systems would be ideal.
@pbmartin14 no the clutch is removed and used to make the motor coupler. you just shift on the fly. listen to the transmissin whine and then just let off the motor and shift. the gear slides into place with out a clutch.
just upgrade the motor to a 8" or 9" if you do a conversion. i like driveing my ev more than my dino powered one. for all my around town runs it's great. its fun to drive and cheap. just watch the amps and its fine. my conversion is only 72 volts it would get better performance at higher voltage.
1- What kind of motor are YOU using? D&D es15a-6 2- What kind of motor controller? altrax 7245 3- What kind of baterries? 115 amp hour golf cart 4- What kind vehicle did you convert? 1988 suzuki samurai 5- What was it's weight before and after conversion? 2174 gvw 2600 after the conversion 6- How much did your conversion cost (not including the cost of the vehicle prior to conversion)? $4800 maybe a little more
Contrags, I'm glad the samurai is working out. I also would like to applaud your never ending currage to not give up and to keep it up even with all your setbacks. Again Congratulations. Now if only I could get my damed EV to work. I'm on my second donor bike. the frist one I twisted the frame on. el cheapo dept store bike.
Great work! It's looking great. Still need to get a controller in mine, I see Paul is finally selling some kits on his website but they are priced a bit higher than I expected. I think I would still like to go that route if he'll cooperate with me, but I have contacted him 3-4 times in the past with no replies. I'll have to try again sometime, maybe give him a call.

how do you shift the gears without crunching? do you have a clutch?
thanks

N2: Have you considered contacting battery companies and offering your "battery testing service" for the next gen EV batteries?

Hi. Congrats on your project. I'm researching EV Conversions myself.
A few questions, if you don't mind:
1- What kind of motor are YOU using?
2- What kind of motor controller?
3- What kind of baterries?
4- What kind vehicle did you convert?
5- What was it's weight before and after conversion?
6- How much did your conversion cost (not including the cost of the vehicle prior to conversion)?
Thank you.

I think all this information is mentioned about a hundred times or so????
Maybe you want to watch a few videos first :-)
insAneTunA 2 years ago
Not really. I just want the answers.
Can you give them to me?
Or link me the videos?

Hey, 47 mph is not bad at all!! I can only get to 27 mph in mine! :P
Your videos are awesome! I'm sure I wouldn't have finished my project so fast if it weren't for the inspiration I got from watching your videos.
