So I'm starting to like the idea of the hybrid, (human/electric) how much money should I set aside to do this? I've seen a "cheap EV project" on this site, and am thinking of using those parts, connected to the pedals of a cheap exercise bike, together with a resistance dial so I can choose the intensity of the workout (this is also a moving exercise machine), and maybe also using broomstick controls for the accelerator and brakes. Maybe these points are far too ambitious, but I could easily scale the whole thing back.

While I haven't found the right donor car yet, I am thinking about using a Suzuki Mighty Boy (a tiny pick-up/ute/bakkie based on the '80s Suzuki Alto)

Thank you

PS, Could someone please help me find EV parts in Australia (particularly Canberra)
