CONVENTIONAL VEHICLES versus ELECTRIC VEHICLES

[LOWRACER]

Maybe some things never change. Nearly all combustion engines are noisy, dirty and needs a lot of maintenance.
I think, the electric motor is the better choice.
The best selection is an unlimited range vehicle, but that doesn't exists or does it ???

OK, here the video.....

Awesome Video Lowracer equally impressive trike to
i'm glad you made it onto Endless Sphere your skillz and designs are impressive mate.

Have you plans for more modifications to this trike or is it about where you want it now? If so...have you got plans for another full custom electric ride?

Look forward to seeing more of your work either way.

The idea of this video, each time I turn my ignition key.....
It started with my Fendt tractor from 1963 and it ends with my Rover75 from 2006.
So, what I am doing there, since 1963 until today nothing changed!
Nearly all combustion engines are noisy, dirty and needs a lot of maintenance!
I'am driving only 500KMs and it's every time the same s**t.
If I never need a dealer's garage or a service station that's a kind of freedom!!!
I decided to create my own electric vehicle, it's now the
LOWRACER HYBRID SPEEDBIKE
The only maintenance are the tires and brake pads! 8)
No petrol, no oil, no smoke&dust!
It's a strange feeling, it's like a super silent "Messerschmitt" bubblecar.
Everytime wish-list-weather and if I never get tired I could drive 24h a day!
That's unlimited boundless freedom!

Your question.....
SORRY! I thought, it's not difficult to create, so I'd never made a plan for this trike!
But there's an idea, to create an electric car.....
Additional here is another big problem called "Control technique", it's the technical control board. For every car you'll need here an official certificate, a certificate regarding tax matters and certificate here & certificate there.....
If I wanna create an electric car, I would create it with a LiPO battery, SuperCaps, solar cells on the roof and of course with 2 or 4 BLDC-hubmotors! The motor controller has got a fan and a tunnel heat sink, so I don't need a seperate heater. In summer I would blow the heat outside. The solar cell and the SuperCaps compensated the electrical loss of the battery and the system.
The creation is not difficult, and I don't understand why companies don't create EV's, but I think they don't want it really!
But it won't be long in coming!!! :lol:

A few years ago I have created this strange 6-wheel all-terrain vehicle:

All things are relative, anything goes and the sky's the limit!

Now I've got ridden the bike more than 3150Km on sunshine, stormy and on rainy days...
CONCLUSION: EXCELLENT! No dust, no smell and a f*ck for petrol!
