Final assembly complete. Doing some shakedown testing over the next week or so before heading to a golf course.

It has a top speed of about 15kph and yes if you crank the bars at that speed you’ve become a 2 wheeler and it will take a some skills to keep it upright. For me it’s a golf cart and I’ve no intention of testing it’s limits in the corners :)

Got a bit side tracked over the winter but did get the frame sent out for powder coating. Have also cleaned up all the plastics, repaired cracks and various misc PO holes from it’s “gas” days and everything is painted Audi Nardo Grey. Paint is curing while I complete assembly. Have also...

I'm converting a tired John Deere 100 series lawn tractor to electric and will be using a 36V Club Car motor with Curtis controller that all bench tests fine. The challenge with these golf cart motors is they don't have a front bearing plate since they use the differential connection/housing to...

36V (10S10P) battery built (stock voltage) and bench tested controller, motor and all the other ancillary bits. Still waiting on contractor and discretes for the pre-charge circuit. Still have to mock up on the frame, open the motor’s gearbox to inspect and lubricate and clean up the frame from...

And your stapler reminds me of a jet ski … perhaps I should just put pontoons on this beast :)

Got my hands on one of these that the PO removed all the electrical drive components and mounted a gas engine. It’s seen some better days but for the 100 bucks I paid with a miscellaneous box of old parts including the original geared motor I thought it would be a good project. Of course the...

Just completed a third season of 50+ rounds and my caddy held up perfectly. Did some functional and cosmetic upgrades over the winter and here is how it’s all kitted out. Another long Canadian winter ahead so perhaps more tweaks to come for the 2024 season :)

Finished! Added a temperature monitor and cut off to the enclosure and tested with a 15k run of hills and cruising with no issue. Bike seems to be performing as expected with the original design parameters. I struggled lacing the wheel and could never get it properly aligned in a 2 or 1 cross...

Well the end of another Canadian golf season and my e-caddy took me through 50+ rounds this summer! It was 99% problem free with the only unfortunate event being a flat tire very early in a round that I could easily get back to the club house, grab a cart and finish my round. $5 later I had a...

Completed the wheel lacing and endless efforts as a rookie to true-it-up. I got it pretty close so fitted everything on the frame and took it for it's first road test. All seems to be working as expected but will have to play with the S866 display to configure all the parameters. The...

FWIW, exchanging information only in private about a project posted in public seems strange; it doesn't do very much to share that information or preserve it for the future. :/ Amberwolf - I’m simply trying to respect the Board as I have no interest in promoting my company, our partners or any...

I manage about 150 vehicles as the core of our fleet that services the hydro and water needs of our city. These vehicles are 100% maintained by our talented crew of technicians and they work on everything from our UTV’s through to large double bucket trucks. Electrification of certain platforms...

Battery and box is finished. Decided to move the controller onto the seat post as space was just a little too tight for comfort and there was plenty of caution offered from the forum on heat in the enclosed space. Bench testing all the parts proved out so now just waiting for the spokes and I...

Good point and it has me a little concerned as well. I’m planning on keeping the side cover off and road testing how much heat will be generated inside the box under different conditions before I finalize everything. Based on the intended rider I suspect it’s not a problem but need to design for...
