Reviving the Electric ATV
2008 is going to be a great year for the AFV Lab. We thought we’d start things off with a “running” start by getting the Electric ATV refurbished and running.
Dan and Peter took this project on, and in only two nights it had new batteries, a fresh coat of paint, some chrome wheels, and a spiffy detail job! The E-Meter is even trying to work now, so we need to calibrate it and get it going as well.
All that’s left is putting the racks on and it will be alive and running for the open house on Wednesday!
The CVT isn’t working great… Anyone familiar with Polaris Constant Velocity Transmissions? It slips on anything other than a flat surface. We were thinking about upgrading the system from 48V to 60V, but even 48V outpowers the CVT at the moment. Get that tuned right and then we’ll look at putting on some more power.
Come to the open house! It’s Wednesday at 6pm at the AFV lab!
