What would you like to see?

Some fora are high traffic, some are much lower than this one. I get lost with which thread I have seen on which forum, but they each have their own atmosphere. And even that changes over time.

Would you like a subject to discuss?

Last week the Government announced grants of up to £5,000 towards the purchase of electric cars. It now transpires that these grants will not be available until 2011. Furthermore, the proposed grant scheme excludes quadracycles such as the G-Wiz. The G-wiz is the biggest selling EV on the UKs roads.

Is this a serious attempt to promote EV's or is it just smoke and mirrors?

Discuss................or pick another subject

I dunno :? you've had a question answered in another thread, just because your dead scooter controller thread hasnt yet spun any results so far its a bit hard saying the place is dead, maybe on this occasion folks cant help ?

Considering we only really have a hard core dozen or so posters for just a few hundred members its not that bad..........is it ?
I know of places with 1000's of members and are far quieter than this :wink: dont forget this is still a fairly minority interest 8)

i sent a pm about that tubuler controller idea that looks good but no reply,also i find these days that if something isnt super efficient it gets thrown out a lot of good ideas fall by the wayside because of this. my opinion also with electric vehicles is to much reliance on electronics,where as some mechanical controllers still have a place,but aren't efficient.
i think some of the fun side has gone from what it used to be,an example is cedric lynches motor made from baked bean cans and other odds and ends when he started with his odd vehicles but he nearly always won the long endurance races. :D

Cant comment on the PM as it obviousely wasnt to me, might pay to send it again as the ISP isnt the best here and it could have got lost in the ether :?

But I agree with you that theres no harm in doing fun stuff with mechanical controllers and other low efficient stuff, at the end of the day we all arnt electronic wizzes, I certainly am not :oops:

You have to remember that some of the folks here are pushing the boundries of mile/watt etc which is good.
We need some folks equally who are able to work with the basic stuff and show the learners how to even just wire a motor to a switch and battery etc

May be we need a learning area :?:
