    EGO Power Zero Turn question

    The EGO battery packs have all their brains inside. They shut off when they are running low. They do shut off the charger when charged so there might be a 5 volt on/off digital signal. Since the mower is 56 volts too, the packs could be connected in parallel and, if a one pack runs out before...

    Why not both?

    EV van (with gas range extender) and electric Hexacopter (does not seem to be a drone despite the headline). I do like that they call it a Land Aircraft Carrier. https://insideevs.com/news/745604/xpeng-flying-car-ces-2025/

    Hustler Zeon Electric Zero turn needs help

    I looked for Smartec USB tool that is required to recalibrate the controllers but could not find one. I loosened the bolts holding the accelerator sensor on the right side and tilted it a little one way. This turned out to be a mechanical way to zero the sensor and solved the error. The mower is...

    Electrathon Race June 8th Homestead Miami Road Course. Everybody Welcome

    Fun race at Homestead though we struggled a little. A misbehaving temperature sensor shut down the motor in the practice session. We had a rain delayed start for the first race. Similar to 'Showroom Stock' racing, there is an advantage to running worn tires. For us, in Electrathon, the less...

    Reverse thinking...

    Desertprep, You might want to look for a second hand Arcimoto. It's an Electric Tadpole. They are well built and 80 MPH capable. They made some very cool delivery vehicles as well as their basic two seater. The company was just delisted from NASDAQ and their website seems to have been shut...

    Fun and cheap EV racing series open to everyone

    2 A bigger wheel has less rolling resistance. and 5 The more frontal area the tire has, the more aero drag. I should have used a better term then "a bigger wheel". "A larger diameter (taller) tire has less rolling resistance" is more accurate. So I am saying that running a smaller tire...

    Fun and cheap EV racing series open to everyone

    All things being equal: 1 A wider tire has less rolling resistance (which is pretty counter intuitive) 2 A bigger wheel has less rolling resistance. 3 A tire with thinner rubber has less rolling resistance. 4 A tire running a higher air pressure has less rolling resistance. 5 The more...

    Fun and cheap EV racing series open to everyone

    One thing that I was surprise to discover when I started racing Electrathon is how much I like using Lever Steering. If the leverage is correct, it is a very simple and surprisingly intuitive to use. I feel like I am almost thinking the vehicle to where I want it, which is something I always...

    Fun and cheap EV racing series open to everyone

    Greeting EVers, I do not have the budget for Formula E, and I am not convinced SCCA’s Prototype Electric class are the way to go- though full credit to Dayle Frame and the EVAC for their work on the difficult task of writing those rules. Instead, I am involved in racing electric vehicles in...
