Hey CoyoteX, those are some nice looking trailers.
I love the style of sidecars, but they do sound like a pain to attach and detatch.
The pricing on those trailers above is more than I spent building EITHER EV. Building something real similar from a scooter sounds like it might work well. I have also heard good things about bicycle BOB trailers, and have always liked the style of single wheel trailers.
I would think that to design a trailer that could go on either the motorcycle or the Metro, it would just require a little thought put into some sort of custom hitch and have the wiring connections the same on the car and cycle.
Does anyone have thoughts of how to run the electrical from a generator to the batteries for use while an EV is moving?
It seems that perhaps having a commercial generator with a 120AC outlet on it could have the battery charger connected directly to, and then the power of the carger goes to the batteries and motor.
The motor would draw however much the charger is providing and the rest from the batteries.
That would also let me use a gen-trailer with either the cycle or car, even though they run different system voltages.
What would be required to make it all work without frying the controller or the battery charger?
