Today i have some good news :) The first two parts for the project arrived and i am happy to show them to you. Those are the DC converter and the electric gas throttle. The gas throttle is just a simple potentiometer which will be connected to the converter and will change the power applied to the DC motor. It was hard to find a pedal gas throttle, that is why i bought this one, which in general is used for electric scooter modifications. I have some ideas how to modify it to a pedal, but will see if that will work.
The DC converter is 24V/250W and should match the DC motor power. It has several connectors:
- DC motor connector
- Main circuit connector, to connect to batteries
- Recharge connector, to recharge the batteries
- Throttle connector
- Indicator/pilot lamp connector
- Brake connector, that eventually should be connected to a brake pedal
- Brake light connector
- On/Off switch connector
