I have recently been assembling a basic guyed Oil drum 2 stage Savonius VAWT using a LG Smartdrive motor/generator. Here are a few pics, I'll post more when it's up. http://www.solarvan.co.uk/savonius/savonius01.jpg http://www.solarvan.co.uk/savonius/savonius02.jpg http://www.solarvan.co.uk/savoniu...

Not sure what kind of car you are looking for exactly but how about a Honda Insight or a Prius or maybe the Renault Kangoo as an Import? The price of hybrids got me on the idea of getting a pure EV, I thought that it would be cheaper to buy and run because it won't need an ICE so it's so much simpl...

Yeah, well I thought it wasn't suitable because it wasn't symmetrical, so Qdos drivers might get left out

That's very inspiring, thanks very much for that ! I have a motor which is ideal, apart from being heavy so I was looking towards somethign like an FJ1200/1100 frame or even a scrap Pan Euro with larger batteries and sneaky little generator for emergencies. My comute is 30 miles around, mostly downh...

Actually do you have more info about it ? I'm interested in the concept of an electric bike very much

What ? Just for free ? Just like that ? !

Well done, I like that !

I think my first effort needs a context, like Qdos implied, it is a set of symbols without a context, maybe even some white lines down a black road woudl turn the round things into wheels and the electric wheels become more obvious. Maybe I'll play with it, maybe I'll no' !

The reason it doens't mean much is probably because it isn't complete. It's there for further suggestions. I would love to draw a little car around it and call it finished, but what about our friends with electric bikes, trikes, City EL's, and the new Aptera Maybe it's a case that one size cannot fi...
