Hey,
I noticed your in Cambell River. Which is fairly close, as Im in Victoria. I am a HUGE newbian to this whole DIY Electric vehicle thing. Do you know other members on the island? Hoping maybe someday I could meetup with one or more of the locals electro-heads, chat and checkout systems to give myself a better idea of things. And give me more inspiration as well as insight to what may work when assembled together.

Cheers,
Brendan

Thanks Dave I appreciate the explanation of Ac vs Dc motors. Can you suggest a company that sells them.. Also you brought up fixed ration transmittions. How the heck does that work!!
