I built an electric trike and I will be re-building it to fix some
things and document it for kit building. I’m starting an “open source”
forum, email list and website. I’ll provide all details on parts, cost,
design and performance along with all of the pictures and drawings that
I have. I’d like to have other people join in to help document, design
and build. It will be based on the parts and vehicle that I already own
and have been driving on the road. I think this will give the project a
good start and increase the chances of getting a new prototype rolling
in short time.

The goal is to have a simple open air vehicle that can be assembled from
a kit in less than one week at home with basic tools and skills. The
body will have to come afterwards because getting a rolling chassis is
enough work. I’ll be updating regularly on line and I should make quick
progress so at the very least it should be entertaining.

The forum is at http://zwos.proboards.com/index.cgi

The email list is a yahoo group called zwheelz at
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/ZWheelz/

The website for now is www.zwheelz.com <http://www.zwheelz.com/> but I
will probably make another one just for the rebuild project.

I don’t have much loaded in there yet but I will do my best to keep
uploading data and explaining what works and what doesn’t. Please be
patient – I’m new to forum management and moderating so things may move
slowly at first. Hope to see you there.


I also got my first batch of waterjet parts for the XR3 frame and will
be starting to weld again tomorrow. I'll post pictures on the zwheelz
website.
