Lightweight Electric Vehicles
Lightweight Electric Vehicles
These are selling about $1650, they seem to be selling quite a few. Li batteries and 1000 watt motor. Anyone try one?
Re: Lightweight Electric Vehicles
Are you sure they use Li-ion batteries ?
If they do then probably either very cheap Chinese batteries that don't last long or they have a limited range. Good batteries are expensive and in very short supply during these Covid-days.
1000w motor is also on the weak side=slow. That is the same wattage as my bike which has a speed of ~40kph using a 52v battery.
Speaking very basically Voltage=speed, battery amperage=distance and motor amperage=power.
All that being said I would love to have one that is properly set up as not to be a traffic hazard.
Just off the top of my head I would say 3000w motor, 60 v battery at ~60-100 amps but then you run into problems with handling and stability.

Re: Lightweight Electric Vehicles
1000w is too small for the weight of that plus how about parts?
There’s scooters around that are 2000 and 3000w.

No leg room for the rear seat, any passenger riding on it would have to be “legs akimbo” with their right foot resting on the floor mounted dildo holster.

Possibly correct Chadster. I guess you’ll get a bit of protection from those UV rays.Chad Sexington wrote: ↑Wed Sep 22, 2021 9:11 amHardly superfluous in a country as hot and sunny as Cambodia.

Re: Lightweight Electric Vehicles
I am just working on a prototype looking like a Bajaj with 3.5kW motor, 60V and 75Ah battery capable of quick charge (ordinary 8-10 hours at home, so that the plug doesn't melt and the street doesn't go dark, and at set up charging stations with sufficient power available charging at 1C). If someone is keen for early testing, drop me a message. I assume we get it on the road by end of this year, but getting parts has already delayed the whole project a lot
Driving on Cambodian roads is just like playing a classic arcade top scroller. The only difference is a force feedback controller, the limitation to only one life and the inability to restart, once Game Over
