Thumbs up The Model E

Hello all, I haven't been on here in awhile, and a lot has changed. In January, I started a Senior Pilot Program at my high school with two friends. What that means is that we get to take class periods off to complete a Senior Project to be completed by a set date in May. Our project: a home-brewed Electric Vehicle! Now, we've been working on the project since then so theres a lot of catching up to do and i'm short on time, but i just wanted to get the thread started and see some initial reactions. Pictures and more details will be up soon, but i can share that the base vehicle is a "suri," a four-person pedal-car type of vehicle. The motor is going to be a 24v, powered by 4 12v lead-acid batteries and controlled with a variable-speed controller. Thats all for now, tune in for more.
