    I'm thinking to convert a 1998 Mazda Miata to EV :) Can a Warp 9 motor connected directly to the transmission shaft move the vehicle even in a incline grade? What should be the voltage? Best regards.

    Hi forum members! It is my first tread after couple of years only reading, must give some help for others too. :) I live in Latvia English is not my native language. I am automobile (not electric) engineer. I have Citroen Berlingo EV converted to lithium and drive this car three years now. From...

    Hello, I had a idea for a car in my yard I have had for a while. It is a 1983 7 series BMW. This is still a very sturdy car just not had a want to work on it. I think it is a fuel system issue. This car is a automatic and I have considered setting the transmission up for electric motors like the...

    I am trying to get a quick fix on the complexity of my chosen vehicle - a 95 BMW 318ti (E36). Does anyone know if I will be needing the ECU and needing to do tricky things to fool it. I'd like to keep my conversion real simple. I intend at the moment to dump the automatic transmission and go AC...

    I'm considering converting a fwd car. My current EV is 1:1 in 4th gear, while it's a bit sluggish off the line, it does just fine otherwise if I never leave 4th. I was wondering if anyone has ever just mounted a motor to one wheel? How successful was it and how bad where the drawbacks? Oh...

    i want to do a direct drive conversion for my Ev using either an 11" or a dual 9", depending on what i can fit in the car. i looked around and decided it it either had to be a transwarp from netgain, or a kostov motor that i would have to modify for direct drive use. i like the netgain, firstly...

    Hello! I'm very new to the world of EV conversions and car mechanics in general. Basically, I've ridden bicycles my whole life while waiting for the day that I could afford a practical planet friendly vehicle. Well I'm now 30 and tired of waiting, so that's what brings me here. For a donor...

    I've been looking around for a while, but haven't seen anything on this yet, so excuse me if I'm asking a redundant question. I'd like to do an AC system with direct drive on a small truck. If I can drive with a single gear ratio, the drivetrain will only add weight and take up space, so I'd...

    :) My students and I have begun a "new" type electric car project! It will be brutally simple. We have replaced the rear axle on a '91 Geo Prism, with the rear axle from a Subaru Justy. The Subaru rear suspension is especially well suited for this format. The Subaru rearend is floating with CV...

    I'm having considerable trouble trying to even get my transmission disconnected from the flex disk that its bolted to ... as a result I don't know if I'll even be able to take the transmission apart to tell what's wrong with it, let alone get it put back together right if found reasonably...

    Hey everybody, I have been lurking on this board for a few days and doing plenty of other research on EV conversions.... The short of it, I've bought a Ford Probe that I want to convert to EV for my wife's commute to work and for me to run errands in. I've never done anything like this...

    Live axel or transaxle? My brother and I are going to build a couple of ultra light EV’s The prototype will be a two seat roadster weighing 1050 pounds curb weight plus batteries. The design will allow for (24) 6 volt batteries until something better comes along. The battery box will be over...

    Does anyone run direct drive? I'm working on a custom sand rail project and it was suggested I try to run two transwarp 7/9 motors directly to the half shafts. Anyone have experience here or any thoughts?
