JustGav Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 I might have just gotten a little project car, which I'm tempted to have a go putting electric power for just kicks.. Any idea what the price on a 48v forklift motor would be, recon'ed. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdavies Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 Is anyone breaking those skanky hybrids yet? Prius and the like? They may be a good source of pimp automotive leccy drive motors as well - but I see where you are coming from on this. TORQUE++++++. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustGav Posted December 3, 2006 Author Share Posted December 3, 2006 Well, it will be matched up to a EVCT transmission anyway, so it will also be shiftless and in the perfect power band.... Only downside is the battery weight, but the car will be small enough... just need a power point no matter where I go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdavies Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 I only wish I had more I could add here, I personally simply don't know enough tech info/enough people to assist - wish I did. Sounds awesome though amigo. I just remember the pickup of the Prius I test drove - amazing unexpected pick up off the line, then the petrol motoro kicked in on top of that seemed like an awesome config in a straight line (handling around corners at even low speeds was a bag of horse shite though- but that is the shitey family prius setup). What is the target vehicle, or is that currently a closely guarded secret? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustGav Posted December 3, 2006 Author Share Posted December 3, 2006 Oh this is nothing as hi-tech as that... I may have spotted a very cheap little car and just fancy something different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dangerous brain Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 Most forklifts are actually LPG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
