    Always love seeing new VW content! Can’t wait to see what you do with those motors. The bergsmas are awesome too! Vintage VWs and EV conversions is a match made in heaven. I can’t wait for batteries to get more affordable so I can convert my bus.
    Good luck with the show!

    Around 4 minuit mark. Both mounting options would work, if you DO go 1 per wheel, don't forget a U joint at the motor side as well. It would let the swing arms bounce more as well as allow side by side mounting of the motors.

    The transaxle has another reduction stage before the wheels, so while the transmissions 4th gear may be 1:1 the differential/final drive is likely 3~4:1

    I love this bus. It’s actually originally named a station wagon by Volkswagen. The fact that it’s an EV is awesome. If I ever blow the engine in my Prius, I want to make it an EV, too.
    Jehu, I hope you get rich building EVs, give Tesla a run for its money.

    • @bobtroyhill1782

    Direct drive, one motor per wheel. Less to break, and one wheel slipping isn't a problem.
    The only concern is what the controllers need to do during cornering.

    Wow, I’m wishing these kits were more affordable years ago. As I had to give up my beetles in ‘19, due to pulmonary health reasons. Maybe as you build out these kits, I can make plans to acquire another beetle with the intent of making it electric. I can’t even remember how long I’ve been following your journey. But it’s been quite a long time. 👍🏾✌🏾

    Are you going to be in NYC next weekend 10/23 & 10/24/21? I'd love to chat about my Ghia project and whether you think it would be wise to go with hub motors in order to have 4 WD as the Aptera does. My thought is that it might leave more space in the car. Also, can I DIY a battery pack from recycled batteries from your channel? I'd like to see that if it is possible. Maybe I'll catch you on another Friday night live stream.

  • @jamest.5001
    @jamest.5001 Před 2 lety +5

    The motor per wheel direct drive will not work, the 4th gear thing, you forgot about the ring gear, it is just a guess around 4:1-4.56:1
    If you have the tq, I'd put something like a Subaru diff/rear axel, connect the motors to it, but I'd use the front trans axel, so you still have gears, there isn't that much loss, and possibly a 6 speed trans, allows for low rpm top speed, higher top speed, and low gear for steep hills. Or maybe a Nissan leaf gear box?

But sucks fuel like crazy. I would love your input. Or even the design to remove inboard engines and install electric.
