This is the first test platform. The frame is from a Chevy S10 pickup.
The 72 volt drive system is 3-phase AC induction motor. The solid state controller incorporates regenerative braking. This test platform is heavy at 1600 lbs, however; with only (6) 12 volt batteries it has almost a 20 mile range of city driving.
It is street legal and licensed and inspected as a motorcycle. Most states consider any vehicle with three wheels to be a motorcycle, yet it drives the same as a car.
Onward! The next prototype is a 12-1/2 ft. long two-wheeled motorcycle.
Progress! Rolling chassis with motor and controller mounted.
Now that it has been road tested for several miles around town, I think I'll hook up some brakes..... Cool seat, huh?
If we moved the motor down into the frame, I believe we could have seating for four....
Licensed, legal, and on the road!!! 50 miles later.... it's a cruiser. Got a 30+ mile range of in-town driving with 110 amp hour batteries
Located in Texas
Interested in investing or buying one of the next prototypes?
