GIGATRIKES little electric vehicles
I have been building little
electric bikes and trikes for over ten years. Over this time the
technology has evolved considerably with major innovations taking place
as we speak. There are a number of drive systems that now exist
with long track records. Pretty much the only thing limiting electric
bikes from becoming a major form of transportation in this soon to be
oil starved world has been the batteries. Up to very recently we were
using battery chemistries that are over 100 years old! (lead acid) .
Well folks all this has now changed with the advent of the new Lipro4
chemistries . On these pages over the next couple of weeks I will
detail one such solution using the Dewalt 36V tool packs, the results
are truly impressive. At the moment I have 4 little electrics Here are
some pics of my electric rides..
