Where can I go to get RACING (high horsepower and Torque) electric motors, and controllers?
- NOTE: Dont tell me Golf Car places. I only want to hear from people who have actually converted their cars.

EV Electric Vehicle Conversion?
What are some good suppliers for electric vehicle components?
I am planning a conversion for my old moped into a speedy electric vehicle. This conversion project may be the basis for my final ECE master’s degree (research on electric vehicle technologies).
I have provisions for wiring, mounting, etc.
I would just like to know what suppliers or brands are good for series-field DC motors, DC motor controllers, and batteries.
Either links or sales contact informations will do. Thanks.

Alternators to increase electric vehicle range?
I know you cannot make a perpetual motion machine. At least not yet. But if you have an electric car, could running high output alternators off the drive wheels at least increase the range of the vehicle? I figure running the alternator directly off the electric motor would probably be useless, but running it off a drive wheel shouldn’t add as much drag to the electric motor itself.
I ask because I’m contemplating an electric conversion for one of my old VW Bugs, but by the looks of it most people running them seem to be getting about 60 miles at best from a charge. I drive about 70 miles a day round trip to work on the freeway so I need a bit more range than what I’m seeing. BTW from what I’ve read I need to run at the least a 96v system to keep decent freeway speeds if that matters.
Thanks for any replies.
