    And just when you caught up with her & because you gave it too many herbs in the chase, your battery would go flat.

    A V8i would really grab her attention.

    A Tesla-powered wheelchair would be both very fast and have a long range.

    Inconsiderate bastard. Why didn't he get off his arse with his electric Chainsaw & remove the log?

    A little kid on a trike could have been next along the path.

    Hi,
    Scary placement of the top edge of the windshield.
    Cheers

    Hi,
    One video on YouTube showed a setup with a 2 speed torque flight transmission on the back of the electric motor.
    The claimed advantages were easier low speed, a parking lock and the reverse not needing additional circuitry.
    Cheers

    Reverse does not need additional circuitry , just a toggle switch, the wiring is already there.

    The problem with auto trans is the motor needs to keep running when the vehicle is stopped for the hydraulics, Going back a few years a Manual planetary 2 speed gearbox like the Ford T Model would be perfectly suited.


    gears are useful




    I have a video comparison I did of electric reverse vs gearbox reverse , fresh from upload to youtube.

    Hi,
    Thanks, you reminded me of a point I forgot. There was a hydraulic pump that only ran when the vehicle was a low speed.

    Found the video


    It is all interesting tech to me, not that I understand it all.
    If the electric pushbikes had been around 30 years ago I would have bought one. The 10km commute on the push bike took a bit longer after age 40.
    Cheers
