Hi, I am new to EV s although I have made a successful electric foil board from scratch . I want to convert an old Datsun 620 pickup to electric hopefully to achieve around 3 second 0-60 times
Would this be achievable with one or two forklift motors , what sort of specification ?
What battery would be best suited please , I am living in Thailand so maybe I am limited on battery choice .
I plan to run the car stripped out for lightness. I am not worried about range , 80 miles driving steady would be ok.
Any help on planning the specs of the components would be much appreciated

Regards Nick

I am trying to find information about making motor controller , all the info seems to be quite old and links not working? can anyone guide me to some recent info please ?
sorry for asking maybe obvious questions , I am a real noob at EV's

Yes this is the car / man who has inspired me! I have read everything I can find on it !
I have found this motor locally , can anyone tell me if it suitable to use , I was expecting it to be 48v but its 72v. It looks to be about 13 inch diameter but I didn't have a tape as just came across it by chance while looking at an axle .
