I Got It!!!



The EV-grin! Very quiet, smooth and powerful. I'll experiment to see top speed and range. (assuming of course I pass the driver's test)

Batteries & Motor Connected



All the wiring is done except the DC-DC converter and a few small details on the 12V side. Getting ready to go out tomorrow. I think I'll wear the RED!

The Other Side



In this view the BMS can be seen.

The Motor and Batteries Installed




72V X 60Ahrs of battery barely fit. There are a lot of smaller components that need to find space; the battery management system, the DC-DC converter, fuse and contactor. No room for an on-board charger at this point.
