Here's an image of the project, showing details on both sides.
Basic EV conversion specs:
Motor: Mars 0708 brushed DC, running @ 48 volts
Batteries: 4x50 AH AGM lead-acid, in a fiberglass box and installed in a quick-change mount (30-second turn-around time) 2 sets were built for this project.
Throttle: Magura twist grip
Battery meter: LED "state of charge" mounted on gas tank, available from Kelly Controllers
Controller: Kelly PM24301, 300 amp rating
Drive system: #40 chain with 13t motor and 76t rear sprockets
All-up weight: 250#
Max speed: 42 mph (limited by motor max rpm; designed for off-roading and a compromise between speed and climbing ability)
Acceleration: zero to max 42 mph in approx. 6 seconds
Range: 15-20 miles, depending on how hard you push it.
