I have decided to make my current project car a EV. After buying my wife a BionX PL350 electric kit for her bicycle and scooting around on it a couple times i was convinced. Here is my donor ![](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v489/19eighty-four/Jetta%20GLi/PICT0005.jpg) i am wondering where to look for kits, i have found [electroauto.com](http://electroauto.com) and [e-volks.com](http://e-volks.com) but cant really tell the difference between them. I am looking for something that can do 50km round trip and 100km/h, DC system, and impressive acceleration. seems amp are important for acceleration, how do i find the right batteries? seems like a motor is a motor, the controller controls amps, but batteries is where i am lost. tia todd ---

Well, first you have to study the electric vehicle mode. batt–DCAC–electric motor–gear motor: According to your requirement (50km 100km/h),I think you have to choise the motor aroud 40-50kw peak power and the corresponding gear(I guess your car weight is around 1.2 tons). batt: I think the lithium battery with 30AH will match your requirements. DCAC: The DCAC is the motor controllor.
