50Wh per mile is way too optimistic.
A Zero SR, which is a state of the art bike, lists a nominal battery
capacity of 11.4kWh.
Range on the highway at 55mph is listed as 98 miles. This gives 116Wh
per mile.

1004km is 624mi. 10:00pm Sat to say 11:30pm Sun is 25.5 hours. So the

Totally unacceptable in a real world situation.
According to Brighsun, the bus started its journey at 10pm Saturday

It's obviously a publicity stunt.
Anyone can throw a ton of batteries in a bus and do it.
Of course there are no technical specs or prices mentioned.

I would like to convert a walk behind snow blower too.
I think a ~3500 rpm PM "pancake" motor like an Etek would be best.
The "Manta" motors on Ebay are listed as 10hp, which I think would be
overkill.
You could buy a whole new gas blower for the price of just that motor.
There are some nice hea
There is simply no way a viable, fully enclosed, highway capable,
electric vehicle ( that can pass safety tests ) can do anywhere near
55wh per mile.

OK you motor gurus. My Gast vacuum pump quit working.
Upon disassembly, I found the two curved ceramic field magnets were
detached from the motor housing.
Needless to say, the motor would not turn with the magnets stuck to the

That's odd, I have moons on my S10 and they fit very tight. The tines
really scratch up the inside of the wheel.
The tape is supposed to quiet the tines from "clicking" as the wheel rolls.
If the tines seem loose, you will have to use pliers to go around and
bend them outward slightly.

Unfortunately, used EV's are going to pile up in junkyards faster than
gassers, and most will be in very good condition except for the battery.
It will be a shame to see all the power electronics and motors go to waste.
It'll be similar to used EV conversions; "car in great shape, needs

Over the years I've seen entirely too many "battery breakthroughs"
announced that never got into production.

Wow! Last time I took some lead-acids to recycle (about a year ago in
NJ) they were paying 8 cents a pound.
Hardly worth the effort of lugging them around.

3.00V is considered dead. 2.67V is really dead. Your pack is only as
good as the weakest (lowest capacity) cell.
Unfortunately we don't know anything about the BMS system.
I would guess that the electronics consists of a DC to DC converter.
Either the converter (or the BMS) may not work prope
Congrats Damon, I hope to do the same with my first (lead sled)
