what I can say is maybe both, the donnor car is already there (1974) VW old beetle, I already got the motor (ex forklift, its veri hard to get new DC motor here, no warp gain, no ADC, no nothing, all seller only provide industrial DC motor, and I have to wait up to 3 month also the cost is so expensive).
I am waiting the controller Kit, I bought from Paul and Sabrina, I have a electronic, mechanical and telecommunication engineering background, hope I can finishished the controller hahaha....the adapter plat is on drawing stage...I already order the battery pack (144VDC/ 300AH).....still so many things to go....

I have an electric bicycle but the lead acid batteries are worn out. I would like to get a 48V 24aH LiPo replacement battery but they are expensive.
