Additional FeaturesA economy "high/low" switch added, motor and battery life in
mind.
Resistor/capacitor setup for lighting using 36 volt headlamp
and stock tail lamp.
This is my third electric, I have learned a lot! Built for fun
and function.
Update 10-07 done! Runs well and is pretty quick, modifications
to contactors done to reduce resistance in contacts.
Added lighting and limiting switch to reduce current to motor
unless peak power needed, will save motor from overheating and
battery life. limits speed to 21 mph.
changed gearing for better acceleration and less top end, motor
seems to run cooler now.
Batteries are getting weak 1/14, update 10/21 AGM still running! I have some extra lithium
cells that I am going to retrofit into the existing battery
areas. Weight should go down 150 pounds.
DC/DC to be installed for BMS and lighting.
