Looks a bit "Rube Goldberg-ish" to me, but creative for sure.
starting at 4:07 on the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OY2RPSUyIrc The guy on the EV skateboard is nuts! |

I honestly don't understand the whole 914 EV thing. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) To each his own though. Certainly wasn't a easy thing to build and my hat's off to that creativity. However, I did get a kick out of how the Tesla dude commentary just blew past the fact that the owner admitted to the batteries losing capacity as the battery pack ages. 100 mile range when 1st built? That is just a show stopper for me.
I'd rather have the skateboard. That is awesome. I used to skateboard to class when in college. When people heard those wheels clicking over the sidewalk expansion joints, the sidewalk just cleared out and made a path. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) The fact that he has a helmet on to ride it tells you about all you need to know. |

QUOTE(Superhawk996 @ Sep 21 2019, 09:27 AM)  I totally get it grandpa. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) It's the future man. I think your pain meds might be interfering though. It was actually the 914 guy talking about the 100 mile range and having to hyper mile to get that now due to decreased battery capacity. That doesn't seem bad for a 10 year old home conversion. Remember, the early internal combustion automobiles didn't have great range either. This one is a bit too cobbled together to suit me. but I'd love to have a 914EV for hops into town. Instant torque baby. My biggest beef with 914 conversions is loss of trunk space. We've had a Tesla charging station for almost 10 years in Bozeman now. It was several years before I ever saw a car plugged into one. Now when I drive by, there is almost always one or two cars getting a juice. It makes me smile. So what do we suppose the life expectancy of someone with one of those skateboards would be? |
