I found some of theses Ev scooter used, with just a few k on them, but they have a such a small battery pack . I'd like to know what voltage this pack is, I'm sure I could build a pack with the extra LFP cells, increase my range. Ideas or where I could find this info.?? ___

As far as I know the Xof1 car still holds the long distance record, at 35,000 km. Canadian Marcelo Da Luz and numerous volunteers and helpers built a purely solar powered car and drove it all over the U. S. and Canada beginning in 2008. Marcelo drove it from Niagara Falls to Chicago, Bemidji, Winne

I looked at Marco's Youtube video and even with my poor understanding of Spanish, I can understand how the Pot works. Look at all the other videos he has, pretty soon he's going to have a whole conversion up. And it seems from the numbers of viewers that the videos are being seen. Here's a link to

I am presuming that the intention of "connecting wires together" was to avoid the resistance to change more than the max value of the pot, you do this by connecting the wiper to one of the end wires, which turns the 3-wire pot into a 2-wire variable resistor as used in PB6. If you need to lower t

Okay, I got out the ohm meter, and the prize goes to our esteemed EVDL Administrator. The extra wire is for turning the PB-6 from a 0-5k device into a 5k-0 device. Thanks, Bill ___ UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub http://lists.evd
