Frank,
I assume you mean MINI (not midi) I used to drive my mother's
regular mini as a young man. It went around corners like it was on
rails. Some years ago I laid a 240 3ph cable to the front of the house
while doing some mods, expecting to get an electric car. We have just
got a Hyundai Tucson having calculated you still don't get the extra
cost back from an electric vehicle. I have thought the IPCC got the
effect of CO2 wrong for many years now.
Maybe you will be able to resurrect your electric bike with 20 E-Cat
QuarkXs in the the future ;-)
