Another EV hits the road.... VIDEO ARE UP!
After nearly 18 months and lots of set backs, my 1974 BMW 2002 hit the road tonight as an electric car for its first four motor test drive.
I originally set out to build a four wheel drive (I live in Montana) and last September I thought I was almost done. I had the two motors driving the rear wheels and figured it wouldn't be too hard to get the front wheels done. Well, after another 12 months and lots of problems, the hub motors were installed and tonight I took the car for a 10 mile drive. What a joy!

The car ran well, getting up to 65 mph and drove very nicely. It is by no means perfect but I'm very happy with it. Besides, if it were perfect, I'd have to find another project to spend hours and hours on.
