Scooter for sale!

Wednesday, October 14th, 2009

To bad it had to be this way but I had my scooter to and from my girlfriends house and now that we’d brake up I no longer need the scooter. For sale!

I will keep it until spring time, so that I can fix some minor faults and sell it in a better condition.

The guzzler is dead!

Being torn apart before going to the junk yard.

Being torn apart before going to the junk yard.

Yey! One more off the streets. Well partly. Good thing is that my EV Scooter did survive the charging mishap, but my car has died. So right now is the challenge to keep myself away from ICE-powered cars until i can buy an EV one. I’m working on some web pages, mostly in swedish to get some Adsense Income but until I’ve learnt the basics of “money making online” as some put it, I’ve just have to walk where I’m going. To bad when one has a girlfirend ouside the city. To far to walk. And now the winter has come = no scooter.

So from 2 vechicles to 0, zero, null in two weeks. I’m getting freaky here… Need.. a.. car…

Eva Håkansson - The AmericaSwede with a EV MC!

Saturday, January 24th, 2009

Since I started looking at ways to add range to electric cars by optimizing air flow, weight and drivetrain, the main idea has been to keep it simple, small and light. Then it struck me, a motorcycle would be perfect for this! And since it’s smaller the cost is lower to!

But someone has always been there before and in this case it’s Eva Håkansson. She’s currently involved in building the worlds fastest motorcycle and she has built an EV motorcycle with her father. This EVMC goes about 80 km (50 miles) at 70 km/h (44 mph) per charge.

Let the eBay hunt begin!

A PakTrakr would be nice!

Let the hunt for auction bargains begin! Going for a cheap EV takes time, so why not start right now? I’ve been to a local auction and sweeped Tradera (Swedish equivalent to eBay) now and placed my bids. Hopefully I win some of them. My bids are put both for the gathering of EV parts and some for reselling the parts or tools to finance parts of my EV. Also added 1000 SEK to my paypal account (should be around $ 120 USD).

Current stats:

Parts to EV: 0
Parts/Tools for garage: 0
Cost 1000 SEK
Result: Poor :(
