Hello!

So who am I?
My name is Robert, but goes by Robban. I’m 33 years young and live with my fiancé outside Uppsala.
I studied electronics and a little bit of computers and today I work as a forklift technician.

Wich brings me here. I have salvaged a 72V 12.8kw dc motor for a future build that will have it’s own thread in the future. I will try to get it streetlegal and hopefully under a strict budget. I can source mutch parts from scrapped forklifts.

I found this forum thanks to Duncans dubious device when I Googled around trying to find info on direct drive.

Love this forum so far and can’t wait to read and study for my build

@Duncan you've got a new fan!

 

[SwedRobban]

Yes he does

Hi @SwedRobban,

I’m located a bit south of you, closer to Stockholm. I’ve just joined this page. I’d like to venture into the world of converting a conventional car into an EV.

👍

Hello @Northbay!
Do you have any car in mind? Motor?
Please tell me if you need a motor and I can keep my eyes open for a forklift motor 😁

Here's the motor I'm planning to use:

Quite heavy but hopefully it will work in my build😁

I have two cars I’m toying with the idea of turning into EV’s. A ’77 Volvo 264 and a ’88 Chevy G20 Conversion van.

My plan is to build from scratch (almost). I picked up front and rear axle from a bmw E36 today and will be using them with a custom built frame

I’ve just joined this page. I want to learn about electric cars as well as interact with the EVs community

 

[SwedRobban]

So the parts have been loaded into the workshop. Now the fun begins. There will be a new thread soon 🙂

 

[Northbay]

Awesome!
