Custom Built RC Powered e-Cruiser
Looking good KiM.... I have joined endless-sphere to follow the general e-bike topics. Watched a few videos of people using those RV motors, I love the whine sound the motor/controller makes. Is Matt ever going to produce RC kits for the general public like Cyclone/Elation?

Was it an ad for Kogan?

Well done Kearon!
A heads up - your link isn't to Nathan's website.
The correct address is http://www.converturcar.com/ not http://www.convertyourcar.com/

Magnetic strips could power electric cars
yeah, but... for longer trips, charges as you travel and overcomes that issue where people reject EV's because of their lack of distance/have to wait for recharge issues (even though it's been said 95% of trips are less than 40-50 KM's).
