Complex Engineering: Designers must find clever ways to keep the motor compact and light, or risk a clunky driving experience. High Power Demand: Rapid torque changes strain the battery and power electronics, potentially hurting in-wheel motor efficiency. Torque vectoring and traction control will get complicated fast.

I bought a vantage truck w/o batteries or charger. I put in 6 12v large lead acid batteries to get 72v (reads 76v). There are no errors and the battery voltage reads 76v at the 1313 programmer. Just a red light on the BDI and ‘shutting down’. It has a Curtis 1238 72v controller. It doesn’t engage in forward or reverse.

The 80kW production unit is smaller and lighter than the concept, making it suited for sports, recreation and light commercial applications as well as classic car conversions. Two inverter options, depending on battery voltage, are available though customers can also use their own.

The bench lights are controlled using an Arduino Nano (far right)inserted into another custom board, the Grounduino (middle), which also provides a dedicated space for the recommended large capacitor when driving addressable LED strips. For light, I initially just used a linkage-based desk lamp with a powerful three-lobe LED bulb.

The gasoline engine only runs in reversing to power the batteries. There are two additional components in the hybrid Prius, an inverter that translates electricity from the battery to the motor. The hybrid battery pack will need servicing but it depends on a bunch of factors. Battery life all depends on these circumstances.

Oliver Keller at CERN’s S’Cool Lab has created a DIY particle detector that relies on inexpensive silicon photodiodes to detect alpha and beta particles (helium nuclei and free electrons whizzing through the air, respectively) and estimate their energy. In addition, the design requires its own power source, in the form of a 9-volt battery.

It's a MK2 golf with 9'' ADC motor fitted, battery tray up front and one sunk into the rear where the fuel tank was. The lights, etc run from a dedicated 12V battery (missing) and all the wiring is there so it should just be a matter of sticking the battery in. The interior is in good order. I'm chuffed with the car.

It’s a little scary to recall that when iRobot last released an update to the Create DIY/educational robot platform, the calendar read 2014 (!). The Create 2 was based on the Roomba 600 series, which (for the record) is somehow still a workhorse in my house after a battery replacement.

While the industry is unregulated some of the lads started using electric motors (hub motors) similar to those produced by golden motor and run these pedicabs on the lead acid or gel batteries. The big problem was that these rickshaws weighted around 140kg with the batteries and could not be classified as a cycles but motor vehicles.

Thinking of light material I chose 1X2 pine boards as shelving material. The flashing worked very nicely as that it is malleable, easy to cut, and light weight. After I finish installing the electronic gadgets I plan on using the garage angle steel to fabricate the battery boxes in the bed of the truck.

So, with a range requirement of only 30km, if i were to use Lead Acid batteries I would need to install a battery capacity of 60km, as those batteries do not like to get below 50% charge. If I were to use the Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries, I would need only to build a 40km range, as these can discharge down to 20%.

I only need existing wiring for lights, horns, wipers, rear defroster, etc. Motor volts, amps, temperature will be showed on 2 inch round dials in the place of oil temp, 12V battery voltage, and fuel level. A new 'A' pillar instrument cluster will show battery pack volts, amps, and DOD. Very good prices.

I do have to let you know going into this that the product page is very light on details, so I’ve had to suss out some specs here. There doesn’t appear to be a battery included in the kit, though it does look like a controller comes mounted on the rear assembly. That’s kind of where I’m sitting with this DIY snowmobile kit.

One is for driving power, while the other is to start the engine, charge the battery and provides the regenerative braking that converts kinetic energy into electric energy and stores it in the battery when applying the brakes or coasting.

The Carnival is one of only a few hybrids with driver adjustable brake regeneration where kinetic energy is converted into electricity when slowing or coasting and then returned to the battery. Fog lights lie in the outer edges of the lower fascia, and the daytime running lights and turn signals share a stylized accent strip.
