Our Electric Bicycle Project I have added an electric power assist onto a GT mountain bike. With a 3 HP peak motor‚ it is much more powerful than typical electric bicycles. The basic motivation to build an electric bike was to have a fun and efficient and environmentally friendly way to stay out my car for short trips around town‚ and also as a silent trail bike for exploring the hills. I wanted to get some exercise - this bike can still be pedaled. When I first put this together it was even more

The Electric Car has a history but is there a future in the UK or will there be a better option? The invention of the first Electric Car was in 1830 but was not perfected until the creation of rechargeable batteries in 1859. By 1912 50 companies were producing 34‚000 electric cars. Once the development of the electric starting motor occurred and the price of fuel was cheap then the electric cars industry vanished. The oil crisis in the 1970’s caused some re-emergence of electric cars but the

and improve the environment. The cost of gas is expensive enough and car companies are employing new tactics to alleviate most of the pollution that cars cause‚ by the use of electric cars‚ cars that have higher gas mileage‚ smaller cars‚ smaller engines and inspection regulations for each automobile to be done every year. As far as raising gas prices‚ I think that will cause more damage than good. People rely too much on transportation nowadays to make gas expensive. It would potentially put the
