work got too busy and we're shit canning going to Welly Thursday. Will see you all in Fielding this weekend

Can i get a ride from anyone coming through Levin on Friday please? I have a work thing Thursday in Wellington and have a bed at a work makes mums place in Levin Thu night, and she can drive me to fielding, but would be great to get picked up on the way to save her 1.5 hours of driving.

I wish you hadnt shown me that....

Should have a Tesla Model S Rear Small Drive Unit kicking around.

ive always been tempted to make some EV equivalent of a rotary bongo van using an imev van and a tesla motor and battery and make it do massive skids/wheelies. I would donate a tesla motor to this project if you share a similar vision haha

fuck yeah, keen to see the EV conversion for sure! Get a cheap leaf and send it.... though battery wise, leaf packs are heavy and dont go very far and are awkward to fit in stuff, but cheap and plentiful, so no harm in starting there!

Yes please, 3xl shirt plz and will see you there

Can i ask how much power it can provide and how it won over solar/battery in your situation?

very nice!

I got it back! Yay, no lynch mob required, just messaging family and other people many times

Apparently, they are going to ship it Monday... I got in touch with the dudes son who is also involved but I've only been dealing with the dad mainly, and he's going to make sure the old man puts it on the courier first thing Monday So we'll see...

I have some muppet in Nelson that has $1200 worth of gear they borrowed from me and seemingly need some reminding that I know where their business is... But ideally just a friendly "hey, fix the thing plz" for now from a local would be great for now... We have an Old school.co.nz lynchmob?

Not sure how the motor controller will act when you go over speed, it will likely brake or regen? Can't you just get a non speed limited motor controller from AliExpress? Even one for an electric motorbike?

I just read all 6 pages because I somehow don't usually read build threads, but this is cool and excited to see more progress! Love it

Looks cute!
