I thought this was quite an interesting article on yahoo

So this evening I have been doing some more research on appropriate hub-motor kit conversions.
In the future I am looking into converting my mountain bike into an e-bike on my own for the first time.
I would like to do this in order to save money on gas, I literally fork out $50 for a full-tank.
I have been looking into brushless hub-motor conversion kits for my bike. I have also heard of Crystalite on the forums
not sure if that would be more appropriate and less expensive?? I am mostly interested in using a rear-wheel hub motor.

Sunday I got to work on the Honda Elite, which David Herron owns.
From my previous blog on the Ev Elite,I started the blog because David had offered me the scooter as a project.
As a beginner I had to get rid of the idea of combustible engines and electric vehicles because they are completely different. Though I kept getting confused occasionally 8) Anyway's that's besides the point.
Sunday we were able to hook up the batteries completely (though they are unstable at the moment,not secure)
I mostly did work with stripping wires to hook the batteries together.

So as a newbie I have never quite ridden an electric scooter, and I got to do so today.
I had also never used a throttle, so that was quite interesting. I basically had to grasp the idea of gaining balance
and using the throttle at the same time, (duh um lol).Hmmm which I had a hard time doing.
So I find it kinda ironic that I can drive an Armored truck, but need to practice using the throttle and using balance

Honda is making a new fuel cell vehicle
Fuel cell = Fuel cells produce electricity that can be used as a cleaner alternative to gasoline.

The impossible can happen ~

Okay I finally have somewhat of an understanding as a beginner and got to "sink my feet" in a little bit today. Some of the process to me of an EV are pretty simple..........
(then again it depends on what you are working on like a scooter for example),
but grasping some of the things that I did I had to get the hang of it.
So I got to work on a scooter with a friend of mine who guided me through the experience,
and found it is something I actually enjoy.
We are waiting on two more batteries to be able to hook the rest of them up together.
