Title: Electric Sami
Post by: Jeremiah on April 11, 2007, 07:45:19 AM

This is interesting:
http://neeaa.org/suzuki.htm (http://neeaa.org/suzuki.htm)

    * 1987 Suzuki Samurai 4 wheel drive
    * 9" ADC motor, DCP 600 controller
    * 144 volt, 24 12 volt UPS batts
    * Top Speed: ~80mph
    * Range: ~20 miles
    * Two military surplus style chargers, upgraded suspension and heavy motor mount

Note the very unique use of the old engine. One-half of a cylinder remains and is used to mount the motor and couple it to the transmission!

again... a cool concept

but the 20 mile range is miniscule

make that 50-100 and it would be a lot more desirable

If they would of left one piston in it and part of a head it would of made for one heck of an air compressor  ;D you can always pull a trailer with a small generator in it.
