    Ever stole electricity?

    Very true, I guess it's the same as offering tax incentives, or even stoplights...

    people would call it socialist, but it might work.

    How old are you?

    I believe that's called jealousy... Who wouldn't want an electric motor on their bicycle?

    Ever stole electricity?

    I've seen that on an ev commercial, and that's why I said pay with coins earlier. Just pay a little more at the parking meter.

    From the look of your picture, you can still peddle, so what are they talking about. That's like saying Jay leno's turbine powered motorcycle defeats the purpose of riding a motorcycle.

    Ever stole electricity?

    Well, you can have both, if commercial fields maintain the solar panels, they will be a safer investment. They move as protection from the weather. The commercial industry can afford the efficient ones' initial cost.

    Ever stole electricity?

    Maybe paying with change, but the minimum charge is too high on most credit cards.

    72 Volt System, What Are My Options?

    Pretty much what I plan on doing, finding the batteries that fit my needs for the lowest price possible. Upgrade later, with an overall better vehicle anyway.

    72 Volt System, What Are My Options?

    $300 or so for my batteries... No money for the other types. they'll be cheaper when I have them money, possibly paying for my lead ones.

    How old are you?

    When I was about 14, we welded a weed-whacker wotor to the sprocket on a bike being put out as garbage. It worked for a minute, but some of the internals were melted from welding.

    Ever stole electricity?

    That's pretty cool, I was talking to someone about that today, we agreed that solar panels on the vehicle aren't necessary as long as they are fixed in enough locations to give a charge... Although if it's on the vehicle, it could extend the range immensely.

    How old are you?

    Doesn't suprise me, most people (my age) I talk about EV's to think that they're not capable of replacing gasoline vehicles, but when I tell them I'm making an elecric motorcycle, they are all for it. Maybe I can change their minds.

    72 Volt System, What Are My Options?

    Whatever, isn't nicad dead as well, being replaced by newer, safer technology?

    72 Volt System, What Are My Options?

    The comparison I'm making is that a battery that is not designed to take deep discharge was left for a day here a day there, completely dead... This wasn't a couple times, I'd say maybe 40+, 2 1/2 years later, completely fine, up to brand new specs. A marine deep cycle battery, which is made...

    Torque or Horsepower

    How is an S2000 more fun? If you control yourself, the Viper is safer.

    72 Volt System, What Are My Options?

    so If I need a 33.3 Ah battery for my range (which is about right), I should use about a 55Ah battery, so a year from now I can still go the distance needed. This is pretty strange, because I beat up my car battery pretty badly, killing it over and over (bad alternator) and I checked it at...

    First Electric Motorcycle, General Questions

    I was planning on running a contactor to the ignition cylinder, so you can just turn it off if that happens and have a way to disconnect power when the bike is sitting.

    Torque or Horsepower

    And the viper has a lot higher hp:weight and torque:weight ratios. All I need to say about the handling characteristics is which wins Formula-D? and which has better stats on G's and other handling characteristics. Video Games Lie.

    72 Volt System, What Are My Options?

    I would love to spend more on batteries, but it's only got to last about 8 months, then I'll have a real job...(graduating) The cost of batteries is 'make or break' for the budget, finding these batteries at wal-mart put me within budget, and make the project possible. I'm pretty sure they're...

    72 Volt System, What Are My Options?

    That's pretty sweet, I'm building a motorcycle to go 45+ MPH though, otherwise for an e-bicycle it would be awesome.
