Never worked with electric vehicles before, but I'm interested in getting started. Anyone have any advice for someone that knows as close to nothing as possible while still breathing? Recommendations for books, articles, posts, anything I can use to get started to keep from driving everyone crazy with questions I should already know the answer to would be much appreciated. The first electric vehicle build I'm going to tackle is the Yard Mule, based from plans available at AtomicZombie.com. I have an axle and a motorcycle front end ready to be hacked and welded on. Still need to find a suitable motor and controller. The Yard Mule seems about as easy a first build as possible. Thanks up front for any advice or directions. Really looking forward to learning a new skill and building a real electric commuter at some stage.
