Thread revived! I think it depends on the duty of the boat in question. My friend's boat that he is working on is going to be used for carrying freight up and down the coast, just to prove that a fully electric solar powered boat can do it. I would imagine that in this application, the weight...

info is still appreciated!

Mitch, The chevy volt pack looks almost perfect for the specs i need. How do people typically go about getting them? Do you just call a dealer? Thanks!

Guys, Thanks for the really great info. Here is exactly what the builder is requesting : That being said, i think that any standard LiFe battery at 20 kWh (400 Ah @ ~48V) will be able to meet that power target, so thats why im not neccesarily worried about it. A 400Ah battery drained at 100A...

Hi guys, My friend is building a large solar boat (after a very successful smaller boat build) and is in need of some serious power. I'm trying to help him out with selecting some new batteries as his old ones were very expensive and not particularly great for his application. I recommended to...

Dude, this scooter is awesome. I'm having similar problems with my wife. She calls my E-MTB the "arm-breaker project". I'm hoping i can show her your video and pictures and maybe i can convince her to give it a try. Thanks for sharing.

A picture would be really helpful. I would say that you need to look at your cover design and figure out a way to run a wire in / out. Especially because you are using LiFe batteries, they are pretty safe, so i would say you can probably charge them in your battery compartment. What kind of...

Ive seen pics of some of the boards you have made torque, so its no surprise you would recommend going quad motor ;) I know people have talked about balancing the motor placement for turning ability, but does that apply to MTB as well? i travel alot of winding sidewalks so i need to have good...

Hi all, i have recently finished my board (functionally at least) and am considering adding a second motor. I'm wondering what are the pros and cons of the different motor placement configurations below. 1) Dual Rear Motor 2) One Rear Motor One Front Motor 3) Dual Front Motor For pros and...

Skipping through 11 pages of posts: $100 is the most i could pay. It may well be worth more, but that's the most i could afford on something "non-essential" as my wife puts it. :wink:

I just purchased the vans transient II skatepack for about $55 which has two hefty straps and a laptop carrying case. I tested this with my ~35lb E-MTB and it works great. sorry for image size, not sure why it comes out so large...

This is a shout out to the tutorial posted here. This forum/post was a serious factor in why i decided that i could build a board myself (and fix it when it breaks). Below is a picture of my creation which is just about finished. Really want to say thanks to all of you veteran posters out there...

Im not an expert on lithium but i do know a bit about lead acid. I think you have to look at the characteristics of the two batteries including discharge curves. While the voltages might be the same, the output amps of the lead acid battery will likely be much less than the lithium battery. One...

Well I guess it's good to know that I'm not damaging it, but is there anything I can do to lessen the noise? Perhaps a lower kv motor?
