My first step in building my solar EV is to make an efficient vehicle. I'm
looking at 3 wheels first to avoid problems licencing a car & losing
weight..however when I talked to the students that made Stella they said four
wheels wasn't the disadvantage you might think it is. It's more about airflow
over and under the body. They got a fairly wide design to only use 55wh per
mile at freeway speeds. Is there a motor out there that is affordable that
will work? I'd like to run two mid sized motors. One on each rear wheel. The
3 wheeler will tilt. I'd like to get 1 hp solar panel (750 watts) on top. I'll
be using a chromoly frame. Not sure what to use for tires. Bicycle possibly.
Probably motorcycle like Honda 90 but I've been warned that motorcycle tires
are not lrr. I'd like to use a 10kw battery pack and have the vehicle weigh
around 400 pounds. I want to build a skeleton and use cut plastic or Kevlar as
body panels. I'll be making screw down points all over the vehicle. Lawrence
