Hi all, take it easy on me as I'm just starting in this.
I have a 1957 ford popular 103e, I would like the e to mean electric. The original sidevalve is ok for a bit of fun, but I'm wanting more power/torque to get up hills and keep up with modern traffic. As it is it's a white knuckle ride at 60mph and I'm not looking to go much faster. I am keeping the 3 speed gearbox and will couple that to a motor, but know nothing about these systems. I am an electrician but have little knowledge about motors, besides 3 phase. Any help in pointing me in the right direction to learn about controllers and how the gas pedal will work much appreciated.
I would like a range of 100 miles and 60mph top speed, is that achievable
