[...] [Joe] sent along this sweet little instructable on making an electric skateboard. I like this one especially for the how-to nature of the build. [Vurp] used an off the shelf mountain board with a brake addition, a 300w scooter motor/controller and a pair of 12v SLA batteries. Now that I’m back on campus, I might just be tempted to build something along these lines. Just in time for this electric vehicle post, [Darin] sent in the forkencycle. [...]

Electric vehicules are not dreams, they’re an inevitable route that we will have to take one day. That day is coming fast. [...]

Wow GREAT job. Things like this are going to be big parts of the future. We have to stop relying on gas so much. Now imagine having a windmill and solar panels at home that you could use to charge the batteries at night and when not in use. Then it’s REALLY free transportation. (once all set-up)
