Also, I love your garage.

Awesome. Have you considered putting a roll bar on the machine? Looks like a blast. I just would worry about safety.

George I watched this whole thing. Very entertaining and informative. If you know, how much did you end up paying total?

What a NICE design!!! WOW! I think it looks better than mine... which is more of a "Utility" design with a On-board Honda 3500 watt Generator to charge the Decathlon Electric race cars, Electric transportation rules, check out 22500 watt electric skateboard" being real, I just call mine a "Hybrid" skateboard so I can drive on the Street.

Looks really fun to drive. nice shop too. Some cosmetic suggestions could be non-solid wheels and maybe some of that studded metal plate along the bottom for foot rests/detail and kinda give it more substance. Keep it up man, gonna check out some of your other videos too. I saw your old bike one.

Have you tried to calculate the amount of solar panels you might need to recharge this and could they fit in the roof or on a trailer towed behind the car? What is the range of this thing cause there are many that could use this as a to work car set the solarpanels south and go inside work and when they get off the panels should have reamped the batt making the car 1/2 powered by the sun. Great car as is pure perfection if had solar power.

Good question, I haven't done the calculations but I can tell you it would be more than you could fit on the roof of a small bus which is way to many, that's why having the retractable cord to the on board charger is better.

It is a 72 volt lead acid system, top speed is about 40 in about 6 to 8 seconds and it will run for twenty miles, weighs about 300 pounds, all-trax controller, racing cart brakes but with two calipers instead of one like most carts, 40 size chain with one jack shaft and a Comet differential. Steering is rack and pinion like on sand rails column I built myself from solid aluminum and tubing.
