It amazes me that the car companies can't make an EV. But, We can, with the cars They made.

hay I think you should upgrade that controller to double the voltage rating, you may want to increase the battories sometime.
excellent conversion though

electric car questions answered part 2by teachshop49,210 views
I really enjoyed watching your electric car vids. Is there a way I can get a list of everything I need to convert to electric. I think I want to start by converting my riding lawn mover to electric. Thanks

@robviolin1 - that's a tall order! I would suggest getting a copy of the 'Build Your Own Electric Car" book from Amazon. They have used ones that sell fairly cheap and will provide a wealth of information on the project including parts and where to get them - and it's relatively recent too!. Ken.

Wow!I just watched all 3,er 9,errrr 7 episodes!LOL!! Fantastic job. I stumbled across your solar cooking vids originally then got interested in the ev conversion. Bravo !!! Are you using it as a daily driver? Thanks for taking the time to put something interesting on the tube. That's what it's all about.

@bctruck - I do use it daily in the warmer months (April through September), but the batteries are not cold-friendly and lose a lot of capacity, so it gets parked from November until April. Eventually (when I am rich and famous - HaHa) I will get a lithium pack for it and won't have that problem anymore! Ken.

do u still have a clutch in it?
streetdevils1 2 years ago
Yes - I kept the clutch more for simplicity in adapting the motor than anything else, but it also allows for easier shifting IMHO. I had to find a way to connect the motor to the transmission's splined shaft, so I just had a local machine shop weld a hub to the existing flywheel that has a 3/4" hole in it, with a keyway to match the motor shaft. The stock clutch assembly was then bolted back up and the whole works was slid onto the motor shaft, then slid onto the transmission spline. Ken.
