Wanted to start a discussion about copying the Meyers Manx V:
http://www.gizmag.com/meyers-manx-electric-dune-buggy/32050/
Some of us have already built similar vehicles. I'm interested in building up a BOM and price list for producing a homebuilt copy....something street legal that could be used every day for commuting. I'm interested in any and all input from the fine folks on E-S about sources for all parts: fibreglass bodies, suspension/frame, motors, controllers, instruments and of course, Lithium...
Links to existing machines that are similar, very welcome in this thread. Would like this thread to turn into a gateway for building an electric streetable super-lightweight dune buggy. I'll post links as I continue the research.
