New project at theworkshop.ca: Dune Bug - E
EM member / lurker Frank sent me a heads up about a project he's working on:
This will be interesting, as all Frank's projects are. I think he's aiming for 48v. Already has his batteries and motor, and looks to be aiming to reuse a 48v UPS as both charger and AC power source in the field.

Only the intended purpose: he'll use it as a field buggy to get around his property (he has some land, I think).
He posted another Youtube vid:

I like the custom cable lugs. Copper tube approach.
I tried this with the ForkenSwift too - was harder with the bigger 3/0 cables because I wanted them soldered, not just crimped.

Looks like it's moving under its own power. Congrats on another project off the drawing board, Frank!
