cont'd to anewlow23: for motors google Hi-Torque Electric, Thunderstruck Motors, or if you can only afford something less powerful Advanced Motors and Drives... or get one locally. Controllers: Cafe Electric, Tommey Lee Reed, Curtis, or others... batteries: depending on budget, any deep discharge battery such as Orbit, or A123 Systems, but you need a battery management system to keep from ruining them by unbalanced charging... try Tek Battery, Go-Wheel, EV battery. Good luck!

where are you located? Google Electric Auto Association. They have a state-by-state list of dozens of groups all over the country you can link up with that can help you put an EV conversion together. If there is no group very close to you, start your own chapter. There are 5 specific things you'll need: an electric motor, battery pack, controller, and an adapter plate 2 connect the motor 2 the transmission or drive shaft, and some means of connecting the motor 2 the motor mounts. (cont'd.)

luckiestbastard: LOL...yeah, I noticed it's been working for a few weeks now. It's a major improvement to not have to guess how many characters our comments have.

No motor from scratch. Thats just dumb when there are large electric off the shelf motors.

I would like to know more does he actually build the motor from scratch? are there more videos? Is this part of an entire how to tape? I really wish I could find a step by step video.
