I'm planing to keep the green one as close to stock as possible, and I don't have a set plan for the other one yet, it's frame is not long enough to make it very streamlined, but I do plan to make it go as far as possible on a charge, and I don't want to add more batteries then needed, I also plan to convert the one without a body to 72v to give it a higher top speed, using 6 12v batteries, that would cut my range down to maybe 15-20 miles but I only need a 10 mile range for going to work, or in to town and back.
my current idea for the body is to build it up out of bass wood, and thin birch ply wood, with a layer of fiberglass/epoxy over top of it, this will give me the freedom to make it any shape that the roll cage will allow, if anyone wants to give some ideas on what shape to make it, I'm open to suggestions.
