What do you guys think about an all-electric version of the Goblin?
Here's my plan:
Order a customized Goblin city kit with:
- no gas tank
- no radiator
- no exhaust
- no intake
..and instead of a donor Cobalt I would buy the misc parts as needed separately:
- seats and belts
- wheels/hubs/brakes/suspension
- electric speed controller/motor/pedals
- charger/battery array
- steering wheel/shaft/rack
- electric status display (charge, range, speed)
I'm thinking it would be Direct Drive with the ESC doing the speed control and interfacing with its own HEPA (hall-effect pedal assembly) so no need for a transmission.
Heres where I am thinking I would need to do some customization:
a) Building a battery array that can fit in the space of where the fuel tank normally is.
b) Making a custom mount for the electric motor (TransWarp 11)
c) Figuring out how to mate the electric motor to the Goblin Rear Suspension/DriveTrain
Any thoughts/ideas? Anything I could be missing?
