With the release of the New Apple iPad I thought I'd make a video revealing new technology in general and why:

In this video and links you'll see it's possible to reengineer a stock snail electric car
and how to apply what is available to be faster and safer. Tested with iPad Speedometer HD (Navigation) application.
The Speedometer HD displays your current speed in MPH and your Lat & Lon at the bottom,
which needs update for bigger letters to see in video:

With 4 years old aged AGM Batteries at 96 volts top speed now is 56.5 mph,
but it was already capable 68 mph last year with 2 people and I'm pleased with the results.
It's a Zap Xebra PK 06 Conversion do-it yourself to "Green Shuttle" (GS),
with a bigger USA Made Custom DC Motor with higher RPM.
The possibility of over 90 mph top speed are no dreams any more,
but it needs to run at 140 volts and needs lighter weight Lithium Pack,
which are practically now available at lower cost if somebody wanted to install!
With the re-engineered Hydraulic Brakes and Infinity's Power Booster driving and stoppings are now safer:

Looking for sponsors and manufacturers to install and test their Lithium Batteries to my "GS", Anyone?
It is called "Speedometer"
