that's the guy who shifts without a clutch - kills pwer to the motor,
let's the syncro rings match the speeds, and shifts. You can see it
all happen in the video.

I am guessing electric cars work on much the same principle, put your
foot down a bit and the wheels start to turn, apply more current and th

You would need a clutch to change gears while driving, right? I can
understand not needing one to start off.

Yeah, I read about a few and they just bolt the motor to the bell
housing/tranny with a shaft adapter, use the tranny. With all the
torque available at 0 rpm, I wonder if you could just leave it in 3 or 4
and do it that way. I suppose you would just figure it out.

Lots of info and interest out there on electric propulsion systems for boats
too.

During the early 80's, I worked for a major Nuclear Fuel Fabricator, since
euthanized by a euro-trash takeover.
One of our senior managers built a "Voltswagon". It was a Beatle, stuffed with
deep cycle batteries with I believe a 48v motor. It had about a 10 mile range

A lot of people doing conversions use fork lift motors and deep-cycle
marine batteries (relatively cheap and easily acquired) and you do need
a controller of some sort. Here is one web site (and there are loads of
them, just do a google search on electric car conversion or something
similar).
I saw an article in a local rag recently about someone converting a
mid sized japanese car to electric for around town trips. He claims to
get 35 miles per charge with golf cart batteries. He used a "aircraft
generator" for the engine. That's all the info provided, but it did
