Hey BigMouse!

I am doing a project similar to the Forkenswift.

I have already seen a few of your YouTube vids. Keep up the good work.

Is your home-made controller going to be "open-source"? I only know the basics of electronics, but I can follow somebody else's schematics!!!!!

Seriously, the controller will be the most expensive part of the project unless I only buy a 48 volt or can build my own. There is an EV builder I just met a week or two ago (who is within driving distance of me! yea!) who is also building his own controller, but it is going to be 288 Volt!!!!!!

If you would pass on any controller advice, I would greatly appreciate it!!!

Thanks,

-Ben
