woldson Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Hopefully my question won't cause any probs so here it is.... Electicity is expensive and to run a BIG motor (motor means elec.) off house current will cost a lot, given a couple hours and variing resitance. I wonder what the cost per kilowatt hr it costs on your power bill?? I'am not saying gas is better than electric, I dont know how much per mile it costs off your house bill? Remembering energy consuption is contance on given fixed applications. (weight, hp, friction, etc.) I've never heard this answer. Also keep in mind Kw/hr costs are different around the nation, ours is quite cheap compared to national. I bet it was expensive when power deregulated down in cali??!!! haha just had to say that;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelToad Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 You could put that under a carport covered in solar panels and have a nice little scooter. The 25 Mph limit might make hard to take out on the highway though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerryb Posted January 18, 2008 Author Share Posted January 18, 2008 Agreed...no matter what type of energy you use there is a cost....$ and envoronmental. Its not like electricity can be made from the sun or something.... If we use standard sources....coal and such...I dont believe we are moving ahead. But as solar technology improves...and it is very quickly.... who says we cant have panels on the house charging that little puppy? And who knows, in time that big motor will probably be made more efficient. Its just neat to see people trying....its a start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(goldfish) Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 I'ld love it, I just don't think it could handle the winters here. The high today was 12 degrees about 6 AM. At last check it has dropped 30 degrees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerryb Posted January 19, 2008 Author Share Posted January 19, 2008 Ya I though the same.. Your winters are similar to those around here. I could see driving distance dropping off quickly as temp decreases. Does that sound correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
