ok high voltage then...
Ryland, yes i believe it is 4 bolts on the rear brake assembly.
i dont know how others are done which i why i thought welding would be required will check next trip to the wrecker...
the old rabbits were narrow cars, not tokyo streets narrow but old europe
narrow and with successive models they got wider perhpaps the rear from a recent all wheel drive might work... mistubishi also had ultra mini vans and toyota had a tercel 4x so there are options. i prefer the bolt on idea but will do some looking and bring a tape measure
ok, a 10 horse DC motor will need 72V at least. could a 20 HP motor be run on less voltage or is it simply not a good idea?
well i was hoping not to have to drag too many batteries around since it would be a hybrid and not full electric. to keep them to a minimum i would have to use 12v deep cycles, 6 ovem, looks like?
so what would you use for charging this bank of batts? regular alternator then DC to DC converter to feed the bank? or specially wound alternator.
and the controller for this system, would it be infinitely variable? and how much$$$
My idea with coupling the motor directly to the hub is so wonderfully simple
and electric motors are not sensitive to RPMs like ICE are, why do ppl always want to complicate life.
besides whips and chains are for the bedroom!
