good for you dude, I love what you're doing. :D keep up the "green" work xD

Ok, since you're serious...1) AC doesn't suck, it's cheaper cleaner, more efficient than gas.2) ACs are faster than by design. 3) ACs are ALL torque - no ramping up like gas. Most AC's are de-tuned so drivers can handle it. Google AC drag racing.4) AC makes a cool noise like a UFO. 5) AC Charging does take longer than gas, but ruin the earth just to save a few minutes? That's lame.6) The earliest cars were AC, not gas. If batteries were good then, we might have NO gas cars at all.

Seriously....?

I've used a few different battery set-ups, with ranges of 15 -25 miles. Too short for serious driving, but plenty of juice to cover in-town needs.

why convert to electric ?it sucksdoesnt go fast doesnt have torquedoesnt make a nice noisegotta wait a long time for it to recharge and whit a motor you just ad fuel and go

Nice idea. Too bad the builders didn't have access to some better materials and higher efficiency batteries and a more ecological manner of charging them. Still, digging through the GOMI, you're not likely to find better. Too much time is spent on the battery tray, which anybody could fabricate, and not enough time is spent on the tuning of the drive train and the nameless "electronics" in the bike--which are much more of interest to the viewer. Good job!

"relatively short range" does that convert to a few city blocks?

satanicmuppet999 (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)

true, but the painfully limited range does not help with the (my) predicament of commuting.plus petrol sounds and smells goood!
