I tightened the brakes up a bit, and I also found that the left front wheel has some wiggle to it. The right one does too, but it feels like it's damped by something. The left one has no damping to it's wiggle.
2 of the 6 batteries charge to only like 95%. The documentation said that the only way these batteries can be completely charged is if the charging rate is at least 30 amps! That's ridiculous. I don't think that out of balance batteries are going to be a problem, though, because I use separate chargers for each battery, and I don't run them down to anywhere near dead.
I was driving around Albertsons yesterday, being very stealthy and there were several people that we just staring at me. They looked dumbfounded. It was really fun. I like to coast, and then put it back in gear, and gently accelerate again. I think I'm going to have some free "workshops" for how to make a cheap EV. I live in the greener capital of the world, so there should be lots of people interested in it.
