Not too long ago, I met Swee.
He makes his own bio-diesel in his garage. He and his wife run an "Organic Store", and he drives both a Biodiesel and a Vegetable Oil car.
His most recent project is a Trike.
It's the front of an ATV welded to the back of a motorcycle. He is going to run it with a forklift motor at 48 volts.
Right now, the electrical system isn't working yet. Something isn't quite right in the wiring. I tried hooking up my controller to it, but had the same results.
Still needs a little work.
He next step in the plan (once the electric part is all set) is to hook up a one-cylinder diesel engine on the back of the cycle. This will be hooked up to a generator head to run voltage into the batteries to create a Series Hybrid.
The diesel generator will be run with Bio-Diesel he makes.
Pretty cool project. Gonna be a lot cooler than my motorcycle when it's all done. He also talked about having an aero-fairing made for it as well.
Here's some photos!
