WIKISPEEDlet is a project to make an 'economy mode' for cars without an economy mode. The idea is to get better gas mileage from existing vehicles. You can start with more gentle acceleration, limiting the power output of the engine, etc and work your way up to pulse n glide, rev limits, etc.
So, I guess the answer is No. This is not WIKISPEEDlet.

I didn'r see it in the video, but adding the name to the title sure changed the Youtube sidebar.

Sorry about messing up the video sidebar. The video did double duty, showing some progress to Team WIKISPEED (everyone wants to know about progress) but the Electric Motor Module is separate from the Mazda build
I am building a version of WIKISPEED's Electric Motor Module. I did Version 1 and I'm doing Version 3.
I guess I need to answer with another question - what would you like?
- The initial 10 SGT01 have been sold. We are working to fill those orders.
- You can buy modules from the store and build your own, or buy some of the modules and build some of them, or build all of them. The plans are open source (don't ask me which license - I believe it is the same one that OSE is using) and many of the parts that have not been designed by the team are OEM parts from Honda Civic 2006 - 2011, the rest are from Summit Racing.
- The modules are being updated/iterated/progressed to prepare for the release of the Comfy Commuter Car or C3. The C3 is not for sale as yet.

Do you have any other connection to WIKISPEED?
|
Yes. I've been a member of Team WIKISPEED for 2 years and have been involved in one car build so far.
