Top speed is about 70 km/h, with a long run up. Doesn’t accelerate well past about 40-50 km/h, so 50 km/h is more like it’s “effective” top speed.

We “upgraded” to a used set of golf cart batteries. Range is between 25-40 km in warm weather, depending on road/traffic/driving style.

Well done gentlemen.
It is only YOU guys who will eventually manage to shame the establishment (‘OIL Co’, GMC.etc ..and ‘their’ Government.) into offering appropriate products at a sensible cost ….. a technology which YOU have proven is quite possible as it’s already here.

Congratulations! You win the dis-continuity award! First person to notice.

I realized I wanted that “backing out, from the side” shot after the rest of it had already been recorded, but didn’t think about the shirt issue.

Loved that “backing out of the garage” shot, where you are wearing different clothes all of a sudden!

It’s a hydraulic pump motor from an electric forklift.
