This small bit scratch-built electric tricycle is a insanely powerful. Some may believe you don’t requirement a accident helmet for testing a trike, however seeing the video after the break where [Ben Katz] is flying with a auto parking garage while slaloming between the support beams proves that this trip has some pep to it.

Looking with the presentation publish linked above is fun, however when we started digging though the six develop log messages we felt ourselves getting sucked into the project. It’s a pleasure every step of the way. It started with an aluminum box which will hold the two rear wheels, drive train, motor, as well as battery. [Ben] chose to choose A123 Lithium cells, as well as after testing to see exactly how numerous he might in shape in the area offered he started making options on the motor as well as chauffeur circuit. When he lastly got his hands on the actual cells for the job he handled the interesting process of building his own battery. lots of them were hot glued, then soldered together before being encased by putting them in soda bottles as well as hitting the plastic with a warm gun. as well as we haven’t even gotten into the bicycle hub-gear transmission system, disc brakes, differential, chain-drive, as well as motor… you see what we imply about sucking you in.

Oh, as well as in situation you’re wondering this is not [Ben’s] very first electric car build. Last year he was showing off his all terrain scooter.
