Earth day reminded me of Ecomodder. I came to visit to say that the Firefly never did become electric since I found another option.
A home made electric car topping out at 50km/h with 48 volts and lots of weight/power required to charge seemed impractical to me after some research since all I was wanting to do was move myself around.
I ended up picking up a 48 volt electric moped scooter instead. It can do 60 km/h and uses a charger as small as an alarm clock which is also quite portable and easy to maintain. That, and it was brand new at half price costing me only $350 complete (factory blowout)
.
I still have wheel chair motors and batteries that I would like to build a small vehicle with just to build an ev. Prolly like a little go-cart or something when I find time
