E-Trike Kick Starter Project.

Hi All,

The E-Trike works so good that I painted it today.

This is called the Cheetah E-Trike.

Parallel recharging is the best, as is parallel discharging provided that you have independent charge management for each battery.  The downside is that it is expensive. 

Your project is looking great.

Thanks Mark,

This is a special mechanical switch I'm working on for recharging and regenerate braking.

Two version I designed.

This will work off the brake cable, being mechanical will keep it cheap and simple.

I do have a electronics version with H-Bridge design, but it would need delay timing for each battery. So a simple micro controller would be needed to switch each battery in a simple  order.


My other thought is to add a 12v ac inverter to convert 120v ac bring it down to 48v dc.

This just might be something that would be easy on the battery bank and keep all of then in series.

Two golf cart battery would work great for this project then.

Thanks Mark,

This is the added hybrid E-Trike to recharge the batteries and travel like a Pruis.
