Congratulations on the launch of your bike tonight Chris, awesome looking machine and great colour scheme too! All the best with the racing!

Thanks Adverse,

I have sent you a PM.

Thanks Adverse Effects for the feedback, this is certainly something we are working on at the moment. Instead of using dreamweaver or any other program to write the code for the website for us, it has all been handwritten so there are a few things like the images that we still need to find better wa...

Hi all, As some of you may already know, my team Coulomb Motorsport has competed in the Perth eV Challenge since 2009 and last year traveled to Newcastle, New South Wales from our home city of Perth to compete in the Hunter Valley EV Prize. Our aim is to eventually build a CAMS approved Formula Libr...

Hi BigMouse,

How many aH are the cells?

Hi Everyone,

Just wondering if any of you use CAD programs like sketchup, autocad or Solidworks?

I've just acquired a student edition of Solidworks and am trying to wrap my head around it so a bit of help/advice would be appreciated.

Cheers,

James

Efluffler, if you can provide me with some desired specifications, such as range, top speed, weight and acceleration I would be happy to help you build a cheap solution.

Regards,

James Hill,

What legacy parts do you have Chris?

Congratulations Chris and Katherine on the exciting news, hope you're ready for long and sleepless nights.

If there are any cheap, hands on jobs you'd like help with or I can do for you please let me know Chris, I want to see your bike running and after all your help it's the least I can do.

James

Look forwards to seeing everyone there!

G'day everyone and welcome to 2014. An exciting year this year with us running not one but two events. In partnership with the Hurricane Go Kart Club in Wundowie, about half and hour east of Perth, our two events this year will be run at their track. At 750m long it is much more suited to our vehicl...

Hi Chris,

Thanks so much, I'm free pretty much anyday so whenever you're available

Those welds look pretty good to me, my self taught MIG welds at the beginning were pretty shocking.

Cheers,

James

Hi Chris and Faz, Thanks for the offers, I am just trying to weld some 1.6mm wall thickness SHS together for a small eV Challenge drivetrain and some 6mm plate on for the dropouts. I've never used Arc before so before MIG but if you gave me a quick lesson I'm sure I'd pick it up pretty quick Chris. ...

Hi all,

Is there anyone in Perth who would be happy to allow me to use their MIG welder for free or in exchange for a carton of beer etc?

Can't justify buying a welder myself but have around 20 minutes of welding to do.

Cheers,

James

Hi Richo,

Would you like to become a driver of the change you want to see then, rather than a critic of the change you don't see?

Hi Ian,

Is the 0-5 kOhm throttle included?

Cheers,

James

Hi Jon,

Check the Facebook page, there are links on there to Natsoft. The track is 1.6 km long if you want to work out distance.

Cheers,

James

Hi Richo, I reply to your post not just as an individual but as a member of the eV Challenge committee. Firstly, not many people have been made aware but as the end of last year's eV Challenge the entire ex committee retired which not only left the event without a committee but also without insuranc...

Hi everyone, Uncertain as to whether many Perth AEVA members remember or not but the Perth eV Challenge is on this saturday from 9:30 am - 5 pm. It'd be great to see as many of you down there as possible showing off your cars (as a static display) and showing your support for what is hopefully a new...

Hi g4qber, Thanks for reminding me, we need to remove all links at the moment as we have reacquisitioned the server to run a virtual wind tunnel simulator but will be getting it back up online very soon. Apologies for the inconvenience, we should have it back up online within the next week. Please c...

Chris,

Why you use a ultracap. and dump all your regen into that and then have a boost that dumps the cap. straight back into the motor after the corner?

Hi EFluffer,

You're pretty close to me in Perth, so if you need any help putting your bike together or need any advice feel free to drop me a PM on here.

James

Thanks Chris, that'd be great. Another category of racing for us to compete in would be awesome.

Ok, we have our electric bike from Newcastle. With different higher gearing it would be well suited to the track in the video above. Just wondering how hard it would be to pass scrut. and also for my 14yr old brother to be qualified to race?

What license do you need to race the scooters?
