looking but this should not be in there. That is what I ordered and it does not work. If this toolbox is worth it then this item needs to be removed. They are defective and will fry any motor that hooks up to it. Please remove it from the tool box immediately if not sooner!

Thanks I found the right one and did not have to work very long for it.
It is only 500W. The Unite motor will run 750W@36V. The 24V one would work though.
I wish someone knew why the variable controller is such a piece of crap and I would like to know why it is in the tool box. I would like an explanation. I would attempt to take the one I got apart to see if there is an internal adjustment or setting but we all know what happened when I took the last controller apart.
Also I need to order it tomorrow and want it in one or two days so it would need to be in the USA. I really wish someone knew what is up with the variable controller. I want to find out who makes them and hit someone in the head with it. I uninstalled the big Unite motor and put one of the 280W motors on it and ran it at 12V without a controller and it ran better than that variable controller. At 140W it was not worth keeping on there. I tried 24V but got battery sparks and the motor cut out. I uninstalled it and don't even have a motor on the Diamond Back. I am very pissed off and want to know why I got such a piece of junk controller for $38. Thanks.
Since it was made in China I doubt I will be able to hit anyone there with it. However it should not be in the tool box or sold anymore in the US. I think it is called BOYCOTT. They are defective. If you don't believe me then I will send it to any of you guys and pay for the shipping. You can see for yourselves. I would call China and complain but don't speak Chinese. I don't have $38 to just throw away. I wish I could get my money back.

I will be ordering this tomorrow as well as two more SLAs for $37 and a new motor sprocket. It will be 36V @20Ah after I break them in. I will also be reinstalling the motor with wood and steel plus rubber washers to reduce vibration. Thanks. Please post when you can.
Also I calculated the sprocket size on calculator on page 71. The Unite motor spins 2250rpm at 36V as it is rated at 3000rpm@48V and 1000W. With a 20" wheel At 36V and 750W A 59 tooth is required for 25mph. There is a 56 tooth on there now.
At 24V and 1500rpm it would need a 49 tooth to go 20mph.17mph would be top speed with the 56T sprocket. Also at 48V and 3000rpm it would need a 65 tooth to go 30mph. At 36V it is geared perfect for 27mph@750W.It may only do 25mph but should go up hills as the motor is only slightly over geared. My conclusion is 36V is the best choice for the current sprocket set up. Thanks.

As the Hub Motor turns and the Lipo Fire Burns.
I am sick of working on the Diamond Back. I need a break from it for a while. There is no way that is a new controller. c1 & c2. Behind the sticker is some kind of rubber. I could pry it off but then would not get my money back. I waited almost a month for nothing. I need to return it but not sure how. I never returned anything I ordered before.
Mount shows how I will be using both wood and steel. The steel will be the same thickness but not as wide. The wood won’t be as wide or as thick as before either but will be pressure treated and hard wood. Not soft pine.
The reason for wood is it will be on the inside and in contact with the steel handlebars. The steel bars will be on the outside for strength and support. The wood will greatly reduce vibration. The rubber washers will go between the steel bars and metal washers where the motor bolts on the bottom four holes. Hopefully it will be a quiet e bike that runs smooth at any speed.
The only time it really sounded good before was over 20mph. At low speed you could hear it vibrating a block away. Between that and the horrible grinding sound the motor made with that new controller it was ridiculous. Not sure if it was too much voltage or current. My guess is voltage as current increases speed and it is worse at lower speeds. I am thinking it is set for 48 or 60V and the setting is behind the rubber but not sure.
The controller I am getting looks exactly like the old one that burned. I got a lot of miles out of it. About two years. If I did not take it apart it would probably still be working. I still plan on using the pot but want to use the throttle also. The pot is only good for low speed under 10mph and especially sidewalk speed (3 to 5mph). Higher speeds are not safe using a pot. A throttle is better for stopping quicker as you don’t need to flick a switch.
Also I will be putting new forks on the Diamond Back and throwing out the ones I cut. I may even wait until I get my settlement if it is soon and get a professional brake job done at a bike shop before reinstalling the motor. I want it to be a safe ride up to 30mph as if it does 25 to 27mph on the flat it could hit 30 on a slight decline or small hill. That and a speedometer will finish the build. Hopefully I can post a you tube video then. I am looking into getting a phone hooked up that has an unlimited hot spot for internet. Thanks.

PS. I will be getting a lot of money this month. I need a link for a 4 kilowatt brushed controller. I will be building the Roadmaster for 50mph

two of these should do the trick but 4 would be better in parallel series.

As LC never learns and his old controller burns. cool beans!! / AstroFlight.
First I got my new keyboard at W. M. and getting unlimited pre pay with unlimited hot spot soon. Also I just invented a new sport. I only want partial credit for thinking it up and maybe an equal share to whoever invents or patents it. I would also like to be part of the engineering and production Please take notice of my original invention.
Before I tell what it is please note that 60 min had a program about a new sport invented called speed riding. They jump off of mountains with skies on and a regular parachute. They also have what they call a wing suite that controls the decent and achieves forward propulsion plus a parachute that glides thru the air. If you were to watch the show then you would see why I came to the realization of possible AstroFlight!
The first e bike that flies folks! The e glike. see glike. Three 20 kilowatt motors should achieve flight. I actually thought it up a couple of weeks ago. I scrapped the idea because of weight issues. I did a blueprint for retractable wings made of carbon fiber however a hydraulic system to achieve that would weigh too much. Having a chute that opens and glides at 80 or 90mph makes this idea achievable.
Unlike the speed riding sport you don't have to jump off a mountain. The main thing is a light bike that goes really fast. Ideally a lightweight bike that is computer controlled with a sensor on the pilots butt would keep the bike directly under the glider for perfect sittings during the sport. A bike that drives itself directly under the glider.
The other version of the sport is a propeller that actually achieves flight with both the bike and the rider. Basically a bike that flies but only for limited periods of time obviously due to weight limitations. The Astro motors are light and at 20 kilowatts ( 26.666hp) three motors, two driving the bike on land to 80 to 100+mph and a third to spin a propeller once the glider-chute is deployed and altitude is achieved the propeller creates forward thrust.
Flight time will vary according to terrain of course but seems easily achievable and relatively safe on flat ground and more risk depending on the slope of downward decent. Obviously the steeper the decent the greater the risk. The greater the altitude the more impact if failure occurs. Gliding for hundreds of feet 15 or 20 feet above the ground could be achieved on a slightly downward slope especially with a propeller or glider parachute in either version of the sport.
I do not lie and told everyone on this post that my dreams usually come true and I dream of the future. I have dreamed of flying ever since I can remember. I want to be able to achieve that dream. I am not sure if anyone has ever thought about a bike that flew before but heard someone tried to invent it once. I believe the problem was a lack of speed as it was pedal. I think we have that problem solved. Also weight limitations were a factor in failure also. We have came a long way with development of lightweight materials too.
This invention could also be upgraded to an e manned drone or EMD. The handlebars control a winged device thru computer interface. I just invented that also as I am typing. cool beans man! see mountainflight2. If LVC has not thought of it yet then I will be surprised. I am sure if he has not he will take it into consideration after reading this post. Anyone who knows him can let him know.
Carbon fiber wings that deploy and retract without a hydraulic system and very lightweight could be the final upgrade to sustain substantial flight at higher altitudes. They could be part of the drone that attaches to the bike and rider in mountainFlight2. "We can rebuild him. We have the technology" (six million dollar man"). Soon we will be living in a world like the newer Iron Man movies. Mini Helicopters will fly us around similar to the Jetsons back in the day. Helium tanks may be heavy so after 50 feet or so a hot air injection system may be implemented for greater altitude.
I am 50 years old so may not been around as long as some of you all but am not a spring chicken either. I see it happening very soon. Astro motors are light and Lipos also but contain a lot of energy. Human flight is around the corner. So is a super lightweight geared hub motor for the Magna. Even though I have my own ideas, when giving out advice to anyone asking: and a lot of people who see me riding often do . A geared hub motor kit on e bay is best and hub motor is better than a non hubbed motor. I believe DA said something like that.
Pedaling around the Magna I could really appreciate a very light motor/battery setup for pedal assist. 500W 24V 20mph. The Lightest weight possible at those parameters. I remember DA posting one but don't recall the weight. Super-lightweight conversions are higher on my list than building a suicide bike. I would like to convert the Magna for < 15lbs to an ebike.
It is true. You need more patience and skill to run a chain e bike vs a hub motor. The motor on the Schwinn that Sunder sent is actually a racing motor and could do 40mph at 60V SLA I bet. It would be cheaper to do that and just run the Diamond back at 36V for awhile. If I get the 52V Luna cycle pack I will get the 48V version of the cheap Chinese controller then. The Diamond Back will still achieve 30mph at that point but not now. 36V and 25mph will be good for awhile. I can still build the Road-master with dual motors with another 36V controller too.
Especially with Front Hub Motors acceleration from take off needs to be controlled. The ability of a controller to sense physical acceleration and "bike structural limitations or STLs )during acceleration and be programmed with STL variations to accommodate for the STI ( structural integrity). Obviously Spoke type sprockets can only sustain a limited amount of G force so protocol limits on values for max. acceleration need to be in place for sane human interface.
There is an Angel on one shoulder and a Devil on the other! Should I build a 50mph Death Bike or a < 50lb Magna that goes 20mph. The polar bear was awesome also Sunder! I am showing it to the ol lady as soon as I get the hot spot phone hooked up. Please post any links for 500W lightweight hub motors for a 24" wheel. As light as possible! for 20mph. please! thanks.

PS. I just ordered the 36V controller for $18 with free shipping. I did not see other shipping options but it is in the USA so I should be good.

Someone already beat you to it:
Can reach an altitude of 10,000 feet and reach 173mph.
It's not electric though, so your mileage may vary by converting it to an electric version.

Also looking for a good deal here but was not impressed on the limited range 62 miles on battery. I don't see any options for a larger battery pack though. I talked to the ol ladys son John in Ohio. He wants us to move to a house in the Cleveland area. He saw the add at a Mitsubishi dealer in Erie PA. I think. It was $99 a month.
then I found this.
http://www.greencarreports.com/news/1081865_mitsubishi-i-in-cheapest-electric-car-lease-yet-69-per-month.
Considering the price if there was a way to upgrade the battery pack for $200 miles for about $1000 then it would be worth it. Also the other option would be to own a second vehicle such as a small S10 pick up truck with a 6 cylinder for anything over 20 miles as I read the reviews and the car wont go the 62 miles promised. I really want one for $69 a month but really would want at least 100 miles of range at mph.
DA I know you live in that neck of the woods somewhere. Could you please post any information you may have on the subject. I may be moving to Ohio soon and am looking for a really good deal and you probably know more than I do about it. I seriously doubt I will have enough money to convert a vehicle myself like I really want to do with a small pick up truck. Therefore my only alternative is a super good deal for less than $100 a month and especially $69 a month. An upgrade to 100 miles or greater would make the deal very sweet though. Please let me know. Thanks.

Yes. I believe so. Total income as long as the ol lady is still kicking will be around $1500. We are looking for rental assistance such as section 8 or similar programs so we can afford a car payment and insurance. I have very poor credit via student loans but with a set income it may be possible to set up a direct payment schedule for the car and insurance payment as soon as the money is electronically transferred into my account each month.
Will still probably get a cheap pick up for hauling stuff, longer trips and possibly scrapping metal but I would not need to use it for short trips so it would save me lots of money on gas and vehicle repairs.
Also it will be light duty use for local in town, doctors, groceries ect. It will be for the ol lady mostley as when I need to go anywhere I will take an e bike unless it is raining, snowing or very cold out.
I am downtown with the Schwinn. When I get home I will be hopping on the Magna for a Wall-Mart trip for a Straight talk card for an android phone. Doug said I will have an unlimited hot spot when he downloads the app. Hopefully I will finally have web at home. It will be on the phone either way. I want to fully research all options as well as low income programs for housing. I will be posting later hopefully. DA. may have some answers also. PM him if you would. It is kind of important as I need to spend my money as soon as I get it as if you have more than $2000 in an account SSA will stop the monthly checks. Also I dont trust banks due to identity theft. I need to acquire a vehicle A.S.A.P. and DA lives close to ERIE PA. and may know what Johnny is talking about. NO credit Low credit $99 a month. Hopefully even less. Thanks.

Damn... Talk about teaching people to be perpetually reliant on welfare. The last time I couldn't find $2k in the time it took to walk to an ATM, was the day before my second pay cheque. Ever since then, I've kept a few grand in an "at-call" account. It's just basic money management. Having a small amount of money available at any time saves you a SHITLOAD in the long run.
If my car breaks, which is cheaper - hiring a car/paying for taxis and keep working, or telling my boss I can't come in until my car's fixed? It's $50/day to hire a car, I can tell you I earn shitloads more than that.
If I can pay my utility bills in cash, I get 5% off. If I'm a day late, I pay 5% more + a $20 late fee.
Hell, even on the topic of eBikes, when there was a special on LiPo - it was being sold at half price - I cleaned out the store, $500 bucks worth - just because I had the cash ready. I needed and used those LiPos, so really, that saved me $500, just because I had $500 ready to spend.
The list goes on. If you can't keep a couple grand in the bank without being penalised by the SSA, you're being nickeled and dimed to death by everyone else. I read an article a while back on how the US welfare system keeps the poor, in poverty by disincentivising them to try to break out of poverty. Seems like this is just another of those things.
That seriously sucks man,

Got the hot spot. Also SSA is not welfare. The main reason I got it is my heart doctor told me I cant lift over 50lbs. I have a rare heart condition as well as many other problems. I worked for 33 years on the books and paid thousands of dollars into the system so everyone else could get SSA. I am just getting some of it back now.
As far as the limit with all the identify theft happening I don't keep a lot of money in the bank anyway. I never did and also owe about 35 grand in student loans. I will be leaving $100 in an account for ordering parts for e bikes and am putting the rest in a safety deposit box. SSA wont know and then I will wait for the very best deal I can get for an electric car.
Also as far as the student loans go they will disappear on Feb. 2016 I believe. The guy down to city hall Center for Independence disability specialist has enrolled me in a special program based on a previous IQ test where I scored 106 not 160. My real IQ is 106. That plus the fact I only need 14 credits for a degree in electrical technology and passed all my classes when previously attending with a GPA > 2.0 I qualify for the student loan forgiveness program.
My goal is to obtain a bachelor's degree in electrical technology and get a tech job hopefully designing e bikes and maybe even drones. I was originally interested in the audio field back in the 90s when originally attending the community college. What is really a riot is I started in 95 thru 96 part time and returned in 05 and 06 also part time and now will return in 2015 to finish the associates degree. Over 20 years for a two year degree.
I detested grade school. I hated it with a passion and quit in the 9th grade however when attending college I loved it so much I would have lived on campus if I was single and could not get enough college. What I really hated was the dishwashing job I had to go to after my classes. A meaningless job a 5 year old could do. I had to though to pay bills and keep a roof over my head. I don't have that problem now and can dedicate my total attention to studies and am starting independent studies at least a year before returning. I have learned a lot right here on this forum. I will be doing lots of research now that I finally have a home connection. I really need a vehicle though soon and am renewing my license as soon as I get the money. It is only $65 at motor vehicles and as long as it is done before my birthday 4/26/16 I wont have to take another test and do everything all over again. Please post anything pertaining to an electric car. Thanks.

The guy down to city hall Center for Independence disability specialist has enrolled me in a special program based on a previous IQ test where I scored 106 not 160. My real IQ is 106. That plus the fact I only need 14 credits for a degree in electrical technology and passed all my classes when previously attending with a GPA > 2.0 I qualify for the student loan forgiveness program.
My goal is to obtain a bachelor's degree in electrical technology and get a tech job hopefully designing e bikes and maybe even drones. I was originally interested in the audio field back in the 90s when originally attending the community college. What is really a riot is I started in 95 thru 96 part time and returned in 05 and 06 also part time and now will return in 2015 to finish the associates degree. Over 20 years for a two year degree.
I detested grade school. I hated it with a passion and quit in the 9th grade however when attending college I loved it so much I would have lived on campus if I was single and could not get enough college. What I really hated was the dishwashing job I had to go to after my classes. A meaningless job a 5 year old could do. I had to though to pay bills and keep a roof over my head. I don't have that problem now and can dedicate my total attention to studies and am starting independent studies at least a year before returning. I have learned a lot right here on this forum. I will be doing lots of research now that I finally have a home connection. I really need a vehicle though soon and am renewing my license as soon as I get the money. It is only $65 at motor vehicles and as long as it is done before my birthday 4/26/16 I wont have to take another test and do everything all over again. Please post anything pertaining to an electric car. Thanks.

Interesting. Looks like SSDI actually is an insurance payout, and only SSI is welfare. US system is very different from Australia.
Either way, the way it is administered makes it seem like welfare, if they are putting caps on your account balances.

welfare is the same as social services. It is state funded. It is paid for by people who pay state taxes. SSI is federal and paid for by federal taxes. Both taxes come out of everyone who works paycheck and we get a certain percentage of the money back at the end of the year. The rest goes into the system to fund those programs. Women who sit around and have a lot of kids and never work and lazy men who don't want to work abuse the system. People like myself at age 50 have been working for over 32 years and been paying federal and state taxes those many years.
Age 62 is minimum retirement age for social security but some people work longer. People who become disabled earlier have to fight to get either SSI or SSD. It is just another form of social security which illegal aliens don't pay into as there not working on the books and paying taxes like everyone else. That's why Donald Trump don't like them and wants to ship them back and plant land mines on the boarder and I don't blame him.
They are just looking for a free meal ticket or a free ride. Some people get SSD at a very young age because their parents file for it and those people never have any incentive to work a day in their life because money is handed to them. I know many people like that. Anyone with a military parent who is deceased also gets special privileges and usually more money.
Only people like myself who have worked most of their life most of it being heavy and hard labor have earned that money as the human body wears out with age. The many years of construction labor I did actually helped build this country. My back for example and leg as well as my heart condition all were caused by overexertion. Some of it could be related to heavy weight training and a car accident but doing bull-work for about 20 years does not improve any of the conditions.
Also being bullied and put down on many jobs did not help my mental health state as I have had emotional problems since childhood but unlike some people I did not get a check when I was young for that and had to go out in the world and bust my butt for a living. At age 50 it is easier to get. That and a rare birth defect bicuspids disease which caused an aneurism of my heart valve were enough to tip the judges decision in my favor.
Basically the Judge knew I was not lying as they are trained to see thru anyone's bullshit. He knew I was telling the truth about my mental state and that I am scared to death of open heart surgery so he figured I wont be around much longer anyway so why not give it to me. If he denied me I would have appealed it and they would have to give me the back money anyway since I filed in Feb 2014.
I just wanted you all to know that I am only getting back some of the money I paid in. It is really my money anyway. The government just wants to play games with it. Never being a home owner I never paid school taxes so the only money I ever received which I did not work for was the student loan money but most of the $35000 I owe is interest. Actual loans and money I received were not much over $10000 and in 2016 my balance will be $0 and I will have the opportunity to return to college and maybe work a few more years in a tech. type of job where people don't look down on you like they do dishwashers and laborers.
I was mistook for being lazy at my last job washing dishes but the truth was I was board to death doing a meaningless job a severally mentally challenged person could do when I had enough intelligence to pass circuits1 and 2, algebra 2 with Trigg, material science technology and even visual basic programming. They may seem like basic classes to some of you but they require a level of intelligence which is basic entry level in the tech field not the dirty dishes and scrub the toilets field.
I am not mad at anyone here I just wish to clear a few things up and I did look at the heavy EV sections today but don't have the tools or cash to convert right now and am just looking for something with a monthly payment.I heard they had them in DAs neck of the woods like I said and I checked the internet. I was hoping maybe someone knew something that is not posted on ES. I would convert if I could afford it but would need some help from someone with experience as we are not talking about an e bike anymore. I wont be a rich guy but could afford to pay something for the help. I am not looking for any more free things and do appreciate what I did get here on this forum that I did not pay for. I did not forget. I am going to go to the large EV section now to see if there is something I missed. Thanks.

Ps. I found this. I wish I could talk him down to $2000. Most of the listings below it are far more money than I will be getting. $2000 is probably my spending limit.I am not sure how much I will get but a truck like that is perfect for what I want. That is an example of what I really want to convert. a low monthly payment for a small car that wont haul much of anything is my second choice. I would build racks for it though for hauling stuff around in town at city speeds such as moving and scrapping a little metal.
Right now metal is about worthless at about $2 for 100lbs but when a natural disaster such as a hurricane or earthquake or a major war metal raises to $10 to $12 for a hundred pounds. Two ACs and a bed frame are about 100lbs so a small load of 350lbs is at least $35 and usually only takes about 2 hours or less to get. With electric instead of gas it is almost all profit. I wont be ordering an AmpFlow motor or building another e bike until after I get a large EV. I Already ordered a 36V controller and a new 11 tooth 410 motor sprocket. Two more 10Ah SLAs for $37 for 36V@20Ah for the Diamond Back and 25mph at 1C discharge is all I am spending on e bikes for awhile.
Very frustrating. No answerer. I goggled "what is the lightest pick up made since the year 2.000" and did not get a straight answer. I would not mind a little four cylinder gas and add an electric motor for about 35 to 40mph and about 50 miles or so around town. Converting a gas truck to a hybrid. Post something if you can. Just found out 43 kilowatts are needed for a 25000lb vehicle. Looking at motors.

need to hang on to some of the money. I found this and would like to try a similar build but may need a little help. Anyone in the NY state area please let me know. I will pay what I can for a little help. 5hp? Four AmpFlow motors for all wheel drive and 18 total horsepower looks doable for 45mph. He is even running it with a pot. Looks like I have a plan now. Please let me know. Thanks.

Maybe welfare has a specific definition over there, but I was just referring to money given to ensure the basic necessities of life are available to those who can't earn it themselves whether through misfortune, disability or any other reason.
Probably something you won't believe no matter what evidence I come up with, but the reality is, about 60% of people never even pay enough tax to cover the city services they use, like roads and cops and defence spending, let alone over pay so they can draw it back out later as an entittlement. The idea that most people pay their taxes all their working life then get a pension is a joke. I think its even debated over there right now for your 2016 election.
Socialised welfare and medicine is sending governments broke everywhere, because too many people are saying "I paid my taxes, I'm entitled to X". Don't get me wrong, we need to support those who need it, but too many people see it as something earned and they're entitled to. I know heaps of people who pay $3k a year in taxes for 40 years, then think they are owed a 20k/year pension for the next 30 years. The numbers just don't stack up: and thats before they even ask who's paying for cops, roads, and hospitals.

Maybe so but I did better than millions of others though who never worked much or at all and still live off the government. Also they let immigrants in this country who believe in the same religion as the people who attacked us in 911 come over on a banana boat and hand them little stores to run and do everything but wipe their asses for them. Don't even get me started. Foreign aid for poor countries? People in the country you are in should come first before foreigners no matter what country you are from.
Anyway if I can find a Yugo Two 3380W Amp Flow motors and a 10 kilowatt Curtis or Kelly controller for rear wheel drive and running them in series at 72V would work at 72Ah right? I will just need the Yugo and someone a little smarter than me to help hook it up for a couple hundred bucks and about 8 or 10 hours of work. I would rather keep the gas motor for when I need it though for thruway speeds and distance.
If everyone used electric power in the city or whenever they could the world would be much better off. Similarly if everyone on the planet worked at least 30 years in their life the world economy would be better off also. Thanks. Please let me know about the Yugo and where I may find one. I will be looking every day until I get my money.
they stopped making them in 2008. They are considered the worst cars ever produced. Still perfect for conversions though but where do I find one. The Plymouth Arrow was only about 2,000lbs or a couple hundred pounds more but finding one of those will be even more difficult. Maybe someone knows of another car around 2,000lbs. Please post if you can. I will keep searching.
ps. Just got a message from LFP. I sent one back letting him know that my version of the Death bike is on hold until I get a large EV or do a conversion. He is on the west coast but still may have some ideas. I was hoping maybe DA would have some positive input as he is the closest ES member to where I live and if I move to the Cleveland OH. area he would even be closer. Perhaps he knows of a garage and or machine shop which could help without charging too much money. I will know exactly what my budget is when I get my official award letter soon in the mail. Thanks.

Yeah, funny now that I have an electric car, petrol fumes and visible pollution piss me off. When I was driving a petrol car a couple months ago, it was just part of the deal of living in a city.
I saw an interesting article before, that California is incentivising manufacturers to build fully electric cars, but manufacturers are saying that it would be better to get the number of electric MILES up. That is, it is better for 100% of people to do 50% of their driving electric using hybrids, than say, 2% of people t do 100% of their driving electric, because they don't suit an all electric car profile.
To be honest, I'm VERY dedicated to electric transport, but if I could only have one car, I don't know that I could have gotten a Leaf or an iMiev with only ~100km range and a long charge time. A Tesla, sure, but that's a bit beyond my price range for the moment.

Found this but sure they will want several grand. Will call them tomorrow. I have to get a motor under $1000 and the vehicle for a few hundred to do it. The controller and batteries will be about $1000 easily unless I can get deals like he did.
http://www.evconvert.com/article/yugo-greg
I was hoping DA could let me know if this Greg dude is full of shit. A 5hp motor going 35mph. It don't sound right to me. That's like running an AmpFlow motor.I don't see it happening.
I would hate to have to go gas but if I do It should be something which I could afford to convert. I will put away money in a lock box for a conversion. It looks like it would be easier to just do a monthly payment deal and just stick to e bikes. Not sure. Please let me know what you guys think. I am doing research now but seems rather overwhelming. Thanks.
