    Honda Accord build - starting now

    Most DC series wound motors for high voltage EV use have advanced brush timing. This means they suck at spinning backwards. It is also why they are poor at regenerative braking. The important issue for your Honda is that its engine spins backwards from most other cars. I think ADC or Netgain...

    MK1 Honda Insight Power Project

    This stuff is way over my head. These guys seem to have figured out what you are trying to do. http://99mpg.com/mima/mimaintroduction/ They seem to be focused on efficiency rather than power . Hope this is of some help. Brad

    Auto site declares lock washers as useless?

    Jack Rickard has been advocating the use of Nord-Lock washers for Thundersky cell connections. I am NOT convinced that they will work for that application. Against the manufactures specs Jack installed a flat washer under the Nord-Lock. This makes the bolt no more effective than using a flat...

    E-Bike Racing: 2011 World Challenge

    Kim, Thanks for the look at the dark side. I am new to this stuff and still learning. Safe's rules would favor a road bike with a Kepler drive. The race would be like a regular bike race except the riders would have 1400-1600 watts of leg and battery power instead of just 400-600 watts of leg...

    E-Bike Racing: 2011 World Challenge

    I am new here and NOT trying to argue. And my only electric experience is with my really sucky 1995 Dodge Caravan. But,, running within the rules of the race I would kick your ass with my old non motorized road bike. I figure you would be out of battery at about 6 miles which would give me...

    E-Bike Racing: 2011 World Challenge
