| motor doesn't have high enough rpm for real speed. (which may be why I'm still alive). Front end needs beefier springs or I need to relocate 1 or 2 batteries further to the rear. Future Plans may include a solar charging station and a motor upgrade to an ADC with higher HP and 4000 rpm at 48 Volts. | |
